Exclusive: Ridhi Dogra Reveals The First Thing Shah Rukh Khan Told Her On The Sets Of Jawan. So Sweet!
SRK for a reason!
A lot of Indian actresses are often questioned about choosing younger or older roles than their real age. Unlike male actors, who easily romance women more than half their age, actresses are quite often looked down upon for experimenting with their age on the big screen. And talking about something similar was actress Ridhi Dogra. During an exclusive conversation with The Male Feminist, Dogra shared her experience of working on Jawan and playing “Amma” to Shah Rukh Khan.

When asked about her reaction to being offered the role of Khan’s mother in the film, Dogra mentioned–”The point of existence is that I want to defy everything. I believe in not letting restrictions come my way, and proving that too.” Dogra spoke about the interesting story before saying yes to the role and said–”When the offer came, I was like what will I do now? And I was confused if I should take this risk or not. Then I decided and said–”come on Ridhi, let’s do it.”

She also mentioned how Shah Rukh Khan made her extremely comfortable on the set, which she definitely did not expect from her. She added–” I was too shy on the set because while growing up, I loved him. He was very kind. The first day he met me, he said I won’t call you “Amma.” She later also spoke about not manifesting a moment like this. Well, we think she just got lucky!
Ridhi recently earned a lot of praise from the internet, for playing the role of Kaveri Amma in the film, who is Shah Rukh Khan’s character–Azad Rathore’s godmother. Furthermore in this episode, Dogra talked about her idea of feminism, growing up in Delhi and finding Mumbai, safe.
