Bhagyashree Responds to Social Media Debate Over Mother’s Role in ‘Raja Shivaji’
Raja Shivaji: In 'Raja Shivaji,' Bhagyashree plays the mother of Riteish Deshmukh, who is 10 years younger. Some people were trolling her for this. Now, the actress has spoken openly about the matter.
In the film 'Raja Shivaji,' Bhagyashree plays Riteish Deshmukh's mother, Rajmata Jijabai. However, the age difference between the two actors is only 10 years, which has sparked a lot of discussion on social media about the casting. Now, Bhagyashree has reacted to this.
In an interview with Zoom, Bhagyashree explained that saying yes to the role was not difficult for her at all. She said, "When you get the opportunity to play a character whose stories you grew up listening to, there's no question of refusing it." And Jijabai was a young mother anyway.
Bhagyashree further shared that the film's cinematographer, Santosh Sivan, gave her a special compliment. She said, "Santosh Sivan sir called me and said, 'Sorry, we had to make you look a little older on camera, because you still look very young.' That's a huge compliment for me. He's a great cinematographer, after all."
