Urmila Matondkar is speaking about one of her most iconic roles in as a ground-breaking actress.
Speaking about being an obsessive lover in Pyar Tune Kya Kiya, Urmila says her character really set a trend for 'anti-heroine' 20 years ago.
“In our films, we are used to innocent, saccharine sweet heroines but back then, this film and my character, Ria broke the mould," began Urmila.
In the movie, the actress was seen obsessively in love with Fardeen Khan.
"We had seen anti-hero, which were accepted by audiences but not anti-heroine! Today, if a movie like this is released, it won’t be a novel idea as we have seen many on OTT and in cinemas. But back then, it broke boundaries. I am glad that I got the chance to do that way earlier than others. That’s why it remains a special film in my career. I had said this back then, that even after 10 years, heroines will think twice before taking up such a role, let alone do justice to it.”
Pyar Tune Kya Kiya(2001) was directed by late Rajat Mukherjee under the banner of Ram Gopal Varma films.
