Vaani Kapoor Steals The Thunder

SHE’S GOT MOJO THERE IS A SCENE IN CHANDIGARH KARE AASHIQUI WHERE VAANI KAPOOR’S character, Maanvi, decides to go on a dating app. Her fingers tremble slightly as she is asked to fill her gender. The camera pans and you see Vaani Kapoor’s face, the trembling lips, the unsure eyes, the sorrow in those eyes…It isn’t something grand that makes Vaani Kapoor’s Maanvi stand out. Maanvi steals your heart solely through these subtle gestures. And, perhaps, that is the mark of a good actress. To be able to tell a story like that of Maanvi’s without resorting to some booming background score or emotional dialogue. Few expected such a fine performance from Vaani Kapoor. She made her debut in 2013 and in these 10 years, she’s done six movies. Her debut film, Shuddh Desi Romance earned her the Best Debut (Female) award at the Filmfare Awards but she went on to star in Befikre which didn’t perform well and in movies like War and Bell Bottom where her skill set was woefully underused. With Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, Vaani has clearly shown that she is not just another pretty face and here’s hoping filmmakers take note.

As a member of the LQBTQ+ community, when I saw the trailer for Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, I was worried if it would treat the community sensitively. I never thought a film like this would be possible....

I am so happy it resonated with you. Thank you for watching and thank you for acknowledging it and loving it.

It’s said that members of the community were apprehensive about how they would be portrayed in the film? And afterwards they were glad the film got made.
