“Priyanka Chopra said I was sweet, Anushka Sharma disagreed”: Darshan Kumar speaks about actresses’ contrasting opinions about him
On performing a violent scene with Anushka Sharma
Darshan recalled shooting a particularly demanding sequence with Anushka for their film NH 10, where he had to drag her out of a room by her hair. “I remember that I had to drag her from the room to outside, holding her hair tightly, and throw her there. I pulled her through a technique; I knew how to do action scenes. I didn’t hold her hair tightly, but just showed that energy in my hand,” he explained.
He further revealed Anushka’s commitment to authenticity on screen: “She is such a hardworking and amazing actor that she told me, ‘Ache se pakad aur ache se kheench (Hold tightly and pull me properly).’ The second time, I held her with a tight grip; she even felt pain, but that scene came out beautifully.”
On juggling challenging roles
The actor also spoke about balancing multiple demanding roles during that time. “It was very tough. But as an actor, that’s the thrill. I didn’t have an option initially, but then I also didn’t want to move schedules. I am not that big of a star that dates would be changed for me,” he said.
Anushka and Priyanka’s contrasting views
Darshan shared an interesting incident involving Anushka Sharma and Priyanka Chopra. The two actresses once spoke about him during a shoot and held completely different opinions. “Priyanka said that Darshan is sweet, hardworking and a good actor. Anushka said, ‘Kahan? (Where). I haven’t seen a ruder person than him.’ They argued over me,” he recounted.
According to Darshan, the misunderstanding stemmed from his methodical approach to his role. “With both of them, I was in my character at that time. I was Satbir at that time; I never greeted Anushka. I introduced myself to her after the climax,” he explained.
He added that Anushka initially mistook his seriousness for arrogance. “She had no idea. She thought I had an attitude, maybe she thought that. She told someone jokingly, ‘Climax mein ise ache se rod maarungi.’ I met her later during the film’s promotion in Delhi. Her mind was changed, and she thought I was very sweet. I told her that I was in my character at that time.”
