Ridhi pens long note
She captioned the post, "#longpostwarning ‘this film is a blockbuster!’ Is what I said every time I was on the sets of Jawan. You all are celebrating the film as a festival which makes me want to celebrate too with this loooong post. #towhomsoeveritmayconcern. I’m grateful beyond words for everyone acknowledging my bit in the film. It gives courage to an artist to keep taking risks and I thank you for that deeply."
Ridhi recalls questioning herself
"I am a feeling’s person. And I was feeling a lot. As a person. As an actor. As a fan. All jumbled up. As an actor, I thought ‘Wow, it’s an Atlee film and I’m playing Old and that too to Shah Rukh! Am I mad?!’ And I decided to do it. For the kick of it. To get uncomfortable. To stay Mad. In between schedules for Asur/Badtameez Dil/Pitchers/Lakadbagha - Conducive spaces for me to showcase my characters comfortably… Jawan was a Test and a golden opportunity," she also wrote.
Ridhi lauds Shah Rukh
Ridhi continued, "As a person, I was on an emotional roller coaster and a mess to say the least. Being mostly alone during shoots didn’t help. But as a student of cinema, it was a dream come true. I got to observe and Learn and Soak it all in. Every time I was on set I was Like a kid in a candy story. In Cinema History !!! Nowhere else I’d rather be. Lastly, As a Fan! Well. I was speechless or dumbfounded. And the old age prosthetics didn’t help my swag at all. But to see Shah Rukh on set. His dedication. His patience. His focus. His commitment to the larger picture was just such a privilege."
