Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film Ponniyin Selvan: 2, recently opened up on playing Nandini in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.
During a media event organised for PS: 2, Aishwarya, who was seen touching director Mani Ratnam’s feet out of respect, was asked about her special connection with the name Nandini as it’s her character’s name in PS: 2 as well. Talking about the same, the actress said, “What a coincidence. It’s amazing na? Even Nandini in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was very very memorable. She ruled over people’s heart and I’m so thankful that I got to play Nandini then too. She had remained special to the audience and, of course, to me”.—IANS
