The actor's journey into the realm of historical portrayals has seen her embody the role of the late Prime Minister not once, but twice, a feat that speaks volumes about her talent and versatility. The first time she donned this prestigious mantle was in the 2019 biopic *Thackeray*, where Nawazuddin Siddiqui took center stage as the Shiv Sena founder. Her portrayal was so compelling that she was called upon to reprise the role just two years later in *83* (2021), Ranveer Singh’s much-anticipated sports drama.
Stepping into the shoes of such a significant figure in Indian history is no small task, and doing it twice is a testament to her exceptional skill and dedication to her craft. Her performances have resonated with audiences, drawing both critical acclaim and public admiration. It’s clear that she has captured the essence of the late Prime Minister in a way that few could, making her portrayal iconic. Being cast in the same role twice is not just a compliment—it's a recognition of her ability to bring depth, nuance, and authenticity to a character that continues to live on in the hearts of millions.
