A date with reality

Last seen in Mohit Suri’s ‘Half Girlfriend’ alongside Arjun Kapoor, Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor is gaining much appreciation for her upcoming ‘Haseena Parkar’.

The movie is based on the life journey of Haseena, who is underworld don Dawood Ibrahim’s sister. It also showcases the B-town girl as a loving mother to four kids.

“There was a scene which was extended when we saw Shraddha cradle her screen kids to stop them from crying. She is really patient and mature for her age. I remember her reading pregnancy books and paying attention to detail. She would hold her back the way expectant mothers do,” said Apoorva.

He further added, “I ensured that they (the kids) arrived two-three hours before the shoot. They hung out  with Shraddha and Ankur Bhatia playing and talking to each other. We also instructed the real parents not to be around during the shoot.” Moreover, a source close to the unit says, “Shraddha’s closeness with her aunt Tejaswi Kolhapure’s daughter Vedika too made it easier for her to play a mother onscreen.’ Set to release on August 18, the movie also has Siddhanth Kapoor.
