MUMBAI: Superstar Deepika Padukone is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film Chhapaak.

From playing the role of a doting daughter to Amitabh Bachchan in Piku to a girl next door in Yeh Jawaani to a rani in Padmaavat, Deepika’s variety of roles prove that there is nothing that she can’t do. In Meghna Gulzar’s Chhapaak, the actress is donning a role that she calls the toughest of her career as she will be seen playing the role of an acid attack survivor.

Now, as we speak, Deepika is busy with the promotions of Chhapaak and during an interview, Deepika said that while playing the role of Malti, she had to live out the reality of the attack and witness what it felt like to have one’s life altered so drastically. ‘I had to go through it without having to go through it,’ said Deepika. Now in the film, Vikrant Massey plays the role of man who is always standing by and supporting Malti, and drawing an analogy, Deepika said that it is men like Ranveer Singh, and Govind (Meghna Gulzar’s husband) who reaffirm her belief that good men exist in the world.

Thanking her husband and Gully Boy actor Ranveer Singh, Deepika said that because men like Ranveer Singh are confident about themselves, they are confident about their spouses because they clearly don’t mind their women being at the forefront. While shooting for Chhapaak, expectedly, Deepika would have long working hours, but what is amazing is that Deepika recounts that she didn’t feel anxious about Ranveer being upset if she’d come home late.

The trailers shows glimpses of the heart-wrenching story of a woman who braves all odds after a boy throws acid on her. We are sure the actress has done complete justice to her role.
