Actress Rakul Preet Singh will be seen playing the role of Raavan's sister, Shurpanakha, in Ramayana. In the trailer of Ramayana Part 1, the actress has grabbed everyone's attention with her performance.
A fan of Rakul wrote an open letter to the actress asking her what the one thing was that convinced her to say yes to the role. The fan also asked her about the complexity and the challenge of playing a "misunderstood character".
Replying to the fan, Rakul tweeted, "Thank you for this beautiful letter. What made me say yes to Surpanakha was exactly what you mentioned - her complexity. History often remembers her for one moment, but there is so much more to her story. As an actor, roles that challenge perception are the most exciting. I hope audiences discover her with an open mind when Ramayana arrives (sic)." Check out the tweet below...
