Tara Sutaria made her Bollywood debut with Punit Malhotra’s Student Of The Year 2. A month later, Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani’s Kabir Singh released that was the second biggest blockbuster of 2019. But do you know Sutaria was the first choice for Advani’s role? Here’s why she had to say no. In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, the actress said she was already committed to _Student of The Year 2_ and that’s why she had to decline the part. Taking about _Kabir Singh_ , she also said, “I don’t think I agree with that (the film’s misogynistic tone). It’s not a true story and I think everyone has the artistic right to show what they want in their film. Having said that, I understand and respect everyone’s opinion.” Tara Sutaria on Apurva In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, while talking about her recent film Apurva on Disney Plus Hotstar, the actress revealed, “Apurva is a very ordinary girl. She’s a girl-next-door who’s on her way to meet her fiancée. It’s the story about what can suddenly happen in her life at the drop of a hat and her whole world is shaken. That’s what excited me on a basic level that I could play someone very normal and simple, just like anyone. This is also about how she tries to overcome the scariest moment and how she uses her wit and intelligence.” She added, “There’s a certain sense of heightened sensitivity that comes into play with women, and which Apurva has shown in the film, and I hope people feel inspired and courage when they see the film and realise there’s an Apurva in all of us.”
