Sakshi Tanwar to play Aamir Khan’s wife in Dangal?
Aamir Khan’s next Dangal will hit the big screen only on Christmas next year, but it has been making news for its casting decisions for a while now. The latest development is that TV actor Sakshi Tanwar — best-known for playing the role of Parvati in the hit TV show, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii — has been finalized to play Aamir’s wife in the film.
“Sakshi’s part is interesting as well as challenging. Over 70 actresses were auditioned for the same role. Around 52 of them were from small towns across states like Haryana and Punjab. A few of them had television experience. But none of the auditioned actresses were known faces from Bollywood because the makers wanted an organic chemistry between Aamir Khan and his on-screen wife.
In fact, Aamir Khan enacted scenes with all the 70 actresses when they auditioned for the part. “Generally, no big star would do that, but Aamir did it, since the idea was to gauge their body language, comfort level and look. After a lot of discussions and brainstorming sessions, the actor and the makers collectively took the call to cast Sakshi.”
