Mumbai, Jun 25 (PTI) Actor Fatima Sana Shaikh on Wednesday said true equality in love means mutual respect and understanding, which she believes exists only in films.
The actor is coming out with her new film 鈥淎ap Jaisa Koi鈥, a heartwarming romantic drama that delves into the lives of two unique individuals, Shrirenu Tripathi (Madhavan) and Madhu Bose (Shaikh).
The movie, directed by Vivek Soni of 鈥淢eenakshi Sundareshwar鈥 fame, explores the theme of equality in love and relationships.
鈥淭he idea of equality of love is where two people respect each other, and they will listen to each other and won鈥檛 deny it. I think that is an equal relationship now and compromises need to be done by both.
鈥淲hen you come into a partnership, you work towards the relationship without losing yourself. I think that is the way to have a successful relationship,鈥 Shaikh told reporters here at the film鈥檚 trailer launch event.
When asked whether she has found such love in life, the actor said, 鈥淣o one is there. No good guys. They exist only in films.鈥 About working with Madhavan, Shaikh said she didn鈥檛 want to let go off the opportunity to collaborate with the 鈥淩ehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein鈥 star.
鈥淚 liked the story of the film, it鈥檚 an honest story. I鈥檝e never played a layered character like this in a love story. Who wouldn鈥檛 want to work with Madhavan? I was so excited about working with Madhavan,鈥 the actor said.
鈥淎ap Jaisa Koi鈥 is produced by Karan Johar鈥檚 Dharmatic Entertainment, the digital arm of Dharma Productions. It is set to release on Netflix on July 11. PTI KKP RB RB
