Like Kangana Ranaut and Preity Zinta, Pratibha Rantaa dared to dream.
And like them, this girl from Himachal Pradesh is trying to create her own niche in Mumbai's entertainment industry.
After taking up a complicated role in the Web series Aadha Ishq, Pratibha will be seen in Kiran Rao's next directorial.
"Kiran ma'am really liked the way I looked. I remember sitting with Aamir (Khan) sir. Actually, he was the decision-maker. Before meeting them, I thought I would forget all my lines and go blank, but they were so welcoming."
What is your interpretation of Aadha Ishq?
When I read about Aadha Ishq and Rene's character the first time, I was thrilled.
Rene has so many layers that you really enjoy exploring all that.
You get to know how versatile you can be as an artist.
Rene is a rebel. If she wants something, she just wants it.
That's something I really like.
Not many characters give you scope of journeying from a child to a woman, like this character.
Yes, this character has an interesting transition.
She is just 18, but she experiences a lot.
Our age doesn't define our maturity, our experiences in life do.
Rene comes from a broken family, so I would sit with my friends from broken families to understand their state of mind.
We all have empathy and because of that, I was able to imbibe those experiences and perform on screen.
Aadha Ishq talks about forbidden love and sacrifices. Have you ever sacrificed something for love?
