Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is all set for her Bollywood comeback with Jazbaa opposite Irrfan Khan, claims that Aaradhya helped her essaying the role of Anuradha in the movie. “Actually having become a mother was perfect for a script like this because there is a lot of truth to the nuancing you can bring in,” the actor said.

“In terms of any dramatic moment, you can bring in a degree of truth to the sense of drama without necessarily being overt, and yet be there with all heart, every pulse, every cell of your body actually committed to that moment. Experience does bring in a lot of honesty here. That’s what made me bring a lot of integrity and truth also to the way I’ve essayed Anuradha,” she added.

In Jazbaa, Aishwarya’s character of an advocate is facing a danger of losing her daughter if she doesn’t get a criminal out by fighting his case. Elaborating on her how real-life experiences helped, Aishwarya said, “As actors, you don’t necessarily constantly refer to real-life experiences, but as an artist, experience is the greatest teacher. So you will otherwise be referencing, picking up from somebody else’s life, or from impressions which we very often don’t realize... sometime impressed by the cinema you’ve viewed. That’s the kind of subconscious imaging with which you come on the set. But having become a mother was perfect for a script like this. “

Directed by Sanjay Gupta, Jazbaa is set to hit theatres on October 9.
