Sakshi Tanwar to play Aamir’s wife in Dangal!

The popular small-screen actress, well known for her role of Parvati in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, Sakshi Tanwar is likely to play Aamir’s wife in Dangal. For the Nitesh Tiwari film, she was zeroed upon from a pool of over 70 actresses.

A report in Hindustan Times read, "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 and his on-screen wife."

The insider revealed that Aamir inacted a few scenes with the actresses. “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,” adds the insider.

 For the film Sakshi has to undergo training. The source signed off saying, “Before she starts shooting, Sakshi has to undergo intense training sessions to get the diction (Haryanvi), and body language right. She will also take cues from real-life Haryanvi couples, since the makers want a certain kind of comfort level between Aamir and her. They play the role of an aged couple.”

Now that’s an interesting pair! Isn’t it?
