Actor Priyanka Chopra has opened up about her approach to immersing herself in film characters. Priyanka explained that she treats her characters like her best friends and also discussed the advice she received from actor Pankaj Kapur.

At the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2023, Priyanka discussed her role in the film Fashion by Madhur Bhandarkar. She was drawn to the film’s script and Madhur’s vision. Working closely with the writers and Madhur turned the project into a labor of love.

Priyanka Chopra said, “I took my team to my house in Goa. We made a wall for Fashion, charting Meghana Mathur’s life from the start till the end. How she will look, how will her emotional changes look, how will her physical changes look.”

She added, “I think all I focused on was you know immersing myself into who this girl is. If you’re playing a character, if you ever think about acting or if you’re thinking about playing a character, what worked for me is getting to know your character like your best friend.” 

Priyanka Chopra then opened up about the time when she wanted to take an acting class before doing Vishal Bharadwaj’s 7 Khoon Maaf. The actor said that she attended Naseeruddin Shah’s class for about 10 days and then she went to Pankaj Kapur, because he was her neighbour at that time. “I said, ‘Can you please work with me on the script?’ He said, ‘What work do you need?’ I said, ‘Tell me what choices should I make. This is a very complex character.’ He said every answer that you need is in your script.”
