Anjali Anand, who won all hearts with her most exceptional performance as Gayatri Randhawa in Karan Johar’s blockbuster ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,’ has not only emerged as an actress to reckon with in Bollywood but also television.
Her portrayal of ‘Gayatri Randhawa,’ a complex and forward-thinking character won praises for her from fans and critics alike.
For Anjali, no slow down following the thumping success of the film. However, before that Anjali revealed to the media what it was like working with B’town’s bigwigs in ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’.
In the midst of the interview, Anjali Anand opened up on her connections with Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi, and Jaya Bachchan.
Starting with Alia Bhatt, Anjali said, “Alia is an inspiration, and she is someone she aspires to be in every aspect—her personal life, professional life. The way she’s grown, she just aspires to be somebody like her.
Moving on to Ranveer Singh, Anjali revealed a close friendship, she hails”Ranveer as her buddy, they dance at parties until people want to throw us out of the house, he’s just so much fun. He’s this long-lost friend that she has met during this film.
Dharmendra ji, according to Anjali, was a delightful co-star. She fondly recalled, “Dharmendra ji was a delight, he was so much fun to hang with.” She recalled a fond memory and said, “they used to light bonfires and sing songs. And he would just listen to her stories all day long.
Shabana Azmi held a special place in Anjali’s heart, being her absolute favourite. Anjali expressed, her absolute favourite. She had been shooting with Shabana Azmi since 2021. But now she’s not in her life anymore because we’re not shooting. But she feels her absence because whichever set she goes on, any new project, she has done three projects with her till now, including RARKPK”
Adding that she won’t see her at the next reading room she enters or meeting she attends new cast and crew meeting she attends. There is not going to be Shabana ma’am inside. Her two cents for her is just that she misses her.
Jaya Bachchan, who played Anjali’s grandmother in the film, surprised Anjali with her sweet and fun-loving nature.
Contrary to public perception, she clarified, ” Jaya Bachchan is nothing like how she is portrayed. She is the sweetest human on the planet, she is so much fun to be around. She’s like this little child who loves to do masti, and yeah, we had a very good bond while shooting. She was playing my grandmother and she took care of me like a grandmother. She fed me, she took care of me, and she was just amazing.”
Anjali Anand is gearing up for her return to the big screen with the film ‘Bun Tikki.’ This movie is creating quite a buzz as it’s considered one of the most eagerly awaited debuts of the year, featuring the powerhouse duo of Shabana Azmi and Zeenat Aman sharing the screen.
