Disha praises Tiger; keeps mum on relationship

Hindi film actor Disha Patani was in the Temple City Friday to inaugurate a new store of Marks & Spencer (M&S), the iconic British retailer. The current Hindi film heartthrob took out some time to talk to Orissa POST regarding her films, life and future plans.

 

It was Disha’s maiden visit to the state, which she found a “very enchanting place.” “People here are very sweet and the land is rich in culture and heritage,” she said.

Disha said that since childhood she has been hearing several tales regarding Odisha, especially the Jagannath Temple in Puri, and now she is thrilled to be here. This time she does not have enough time, but she said she would visit Puri soon and pray before Lord Jagannath.

Talking about films, the actor said she is very happy to achieve whatever she has so far. “I am here because of the love and appreciation of the people who watch and appreciate my performances.” When asked about her relationship with actor Tiger Shroff – one of the power couple’s of Hindi filmdom today, she said, “Tiger is a darling. He is a perfect gentleman and superb performer.”

Replying to a question on the potential of regional cinema vis-à-vis commercial Hindi films, she said, “I think a film is a film and it doesn’t matter in which language they are made. I myself have done a regional film, a Chinese Indian film and some Hindi films. So it’s just about the stories.

Asked whether reports regarding their breakup appearing in a section of film gossip columns were true, Disha said, “I hardly read any of these gossip columns, let alone give any importance to them. I would advise my fans not to believe in whatever they publish.”

When asked to comment on the issue of LGBT in the light of recent SC order, she said, “I have already spoken on the matter publicly. All that I can tell you now is that online during her visit to the city said, “I feel love is love. Let us just spread love.”

Talking about her favourite style icons, the actor said, “My favourite style icons are Beyonce and Priyanka Chopra. And my fashion mantra is just be comfortable in your own skin.”
