MUMBAI: Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon, who will be seen essaying the role of a filmmaker Myra Devekar in the upcoming masala entertainer, 'Bachchhan Paandey', recently opened up about her approach to her character in the film.
Sharing her thoughts on her understanding of a filmmaker's character, Kriti said, "As an actor, once you have gone through a certain number of films, you soak in more than you think, just by observing and looking around, you start understanding how the directors make their vision come alive, their process and mannerisms."
The 'Mimi' star added that the sense of control was her anchor point for her character, "And I have seen so many talented directors at work, it feels like it was sort of easier for me to pick from them. A director's in control of everything on the set as he/she is the captain of the ship."
"So my main pick point on Myra was that this girl is very much in control and she is stuck in a place where situations get out of control", she concluded as she drew the contrast between her character's key trait and the situations that get better out of her.
Meanwhile, Kriti has multiple big releases lined up including 'Shehzada', 'Adipurush', 'Bhediya' and 'Ganapath'.
Kriti SanonTributes poured in for Australian great Rod Marsh who passed away in an Adelaide hospital on Friday aged 74 after suffering a massive heart-attack last week.
Marsh had suffered a heart-attack in Queensland and was in an induced coma at the Royal Adelaide Hospital until his death.
Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting wrote, "Devastated, we have lost a legend. Rod Marsh was a great player, a great coach and one of the best people I have ever met. My thoughts are with Ros, Paul, Dan and Jamie (Marsh's family)."
Former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson tweeted, "Rod Marsh not on this planet anymore, I am absolutely shattered. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for Rod and his amazing skill to know how to get the best out of every young cricketer. He just cared!! My love and thoughts go the Ros and the boys. RIP mate."
Following a glittering 14-year international career as a player, Marsh played a major role in grooming young stars such as Ponting and pace bowler Brett Lee, among others, at the Australian Cricket Academy (ACA) in Adelaide.
Cricket Australia (CA), the country's governing body for the sport in its condolence message said, "We are deeply saddened by the passing of Rod Marsh. A brilliant wicketkeeper and hard-hitting batter, Rod's contribution to Australian cricket was outstanding and he will be truly missed. Our thoughts are with his wife Ros, children Paul, Dan and Jamie and his many friends."
Another former Australian great, pace bowler Damien Fleming, said he was shattered.
"Shattered to hear the passing of the legendary Rod Marsh. Growing up he was an idol hitting 6's taking catches off DK Lillee. Sung the Aussie song. Coached a generation. Thoughts with Ros, Paul, Dan and Jamie and Marsh family," wrote Fleming.
The Australian team's white-ball captain, Araron Finch, tweeted, "Thoughts are with the Marsh family at an incredibly difficult time. Australia has lost a cricketing icon and legend today! Vale Rod Marsh."
A statement from son Paul Marsh said, "On behalf of my mother Ros and brothers Dan and Jamie, it is with immense sadness that I advise that my father Rod passed away peacefully early this morning. He has been an incredible husband, father and grandfather and we have been so fortunate to have had him in all of our lives.
"We are so grateful for all of the love and support our family has received from so many people over the last week. It has given us strength in the most difficult week of our lives. Details for the funeral will be advised in due course."
