Sobhita Dhulipala Is A Rising Star Of Cinema And She's Here To Stay

She still remembers the number of the bus (210) she rode at 4 every morning to get to the train that took her to college in Mumbai by 7am. She remembers the war hero welcome she got when she returned from an NCC camp at Yarada when in school in Visakhapatnam. Even further back, she remembers being the girl with the long hair till below the butt, always participating in quiz contests and essay writing competitions, always nerdy, always weird. Now 5’ 8”, with cheekbones that could double as paper cutters and a pout made in lipstick heaven, Sobhita Dhulipala is a rising star of cinema and streaming services. The girl who never felt she belonged anywhere and wrote poetry to escape into her thoughts, is finally at ease with her body and her work.

The former Miss India (Earth) 2013, Dhulipala has had a banner year being the female lead in two bold face streaming service series, Amazon’s Made in Heaven (2019), and Netflix’s Bard of Blood (2019). As Tara from Lakshmi Nagar who transforms her entry-level corporate job into a marriage with a south Delhi farmhouse-owning shehzada, she is all fire and ice, posh armour and occasional cheap chinks, all too-malleable wife but steadfast friend. Showrunner Zoya Akhtar who cast her recalls her being “as mysterious as we wanted Tara to be. She has huge expressive eyes but there are times you can’t read her and it was that aura that we felt fit Tara to the tee”.
