MUMBAI: Beautiful Bollywood actress Prachi Desai, who is playing the controversial cricketer Azharuddin’s first wife, Naureen in the upcoming Mohammad Azharuddin biopic, can hardly contain her excitement about playing a “true blue Hyderabadi”.
“This is my first biopic. The world might have witnessed Azharuddin’s journey, both on field and off it, but his first wife Naureen, pretty much always lived in the shadows. Not many are aware of her at all, she is such a mystery. There is so much that I wanted to find out about her, there are so many theories that exist. I am also trying to work out Naureen in my head with my own interpretations of her,” she told media.
The actress, however, remains tight-lipped when asked if she has met Naureen already or is yet to meet her. She just drops a few subtle hints here and there. “If I have met Naureen or not, you will get to know later. For now, all I can tell you is that Naureen and Azhar shared a beautiful love story, it was all about young love, you know. I see Naureen as a beautiful woman, Azhar’s pillar of strength, someone the crickconfided in. My director has helped me with all the information I needed to create Naureen’s image in my head. Also, through Azhar I found out loads of details,” she shared.
Prachi also fell in love with Hyderabad while shooting for the film. “Gosh, I was completely bowled over by the ol’ world charm of this city. I am taking back so many lovely memories from my stay in Hyderabad. We shot in a place overlooking the Charminar, and the view was stunning. The Golconda Fort, the friendly people I met, the picturesque private bungalow that we shot in, all of it will be etched in my memory for a really long time. I got the opportunity to completely soak in the charm of this lovely city.”
