During the conversation, Deepti Naval said, “You know, like the last film that I did, Goldfish. Again, women oriented because it’s a mother and daughter, yes, I love this so much. It’s my favourite role, I think, till date, so, after a lot of waiting, that film, that kind of role. Or before that, like Panchmati, like Main Zinda Hoon, Ankahi, so many of those films which were female oriented.”

Deepti Naval On Actors Being Stereotyped

Talking about being stereotyped, the actress mentioned that often performers are used to certain roles and they should learn to say no. She said, “As an actor, you have to keep saying no, because, if you want to choose and do a good film, you have to be deprived financially. And forget about luxury, you survive, you make yourself comfortable and gracefully, as much as you can, because you have to wait.”
