So what’s her take on love?

- — M.R.

Singh, who counts the complex infidelity drama Silsila as her idea of a perfect on-screen romance, believes that love can conquer all. The cult love triangle which saw Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha and Jaya Bachchan explore relationsh­ips in all its complicate­d glory is her favourite because it was a ‘mature love story’.

“I have been through my share of ups and downs in love. But I have not gotten cynical, but just wiser … Love is the most beautiful feeling and so how can it be wrong?” said Singh.

In fewer than 40 minutes on screen, actors Warsi and Singh have joined hands to prove that there’s incredible beauty in love. It’s Singh’s first time acting with Warsi, one of Bollywood’s consummate and underrated actors.

“He’s such an effortless actor. He’s amazing at his craft and he’s kept is real here … He’s not a mean husband who beats her up nor does he say mean things … So I didn’t have those crutches of extremes in a relationsh­ip, but it’s still not a perfect relationsh­ip,” explained Singh.

Singh has done remarkable well in Bollywood by selecting roles that exhibit her range as an actor since her debut in 2005 with ‘Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi’.

“There is a feeble attempt to experiment … I love doing different things and so far I hope I have done well,” said Singh. Very soon, she will also be seen sharing screen space with Vikrant Maasey in Gaslight. “I have just finished shooting for Gaslight which is a thriller and it should release by the end of this year. It’s a wicked film and I hope I continue to surprise my fans,” said Singh.
