“I post what I enjoy, it’s as simple as that”, says actress Disha Patani

Actress Disha Patani has regularly been at the receiving end of relentless trolling for her fashion decisions via social media, the most recent being the bikini photos she posted from her beach vacation. Be that as it may, she remains unbothered. “I’ve learned to block out the comments from people who choose to spread hatred and not love on social media platforms. Instagram is a platform for self-expression and I post what I enjoy. It’s as simple as that. I don’t pay attention to negative comments,” the actor, who will next be seen in Ek Villain Returns and Yodha, tells hindustantimes.com.

Post her Hindi film debut with MS Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016), Patani has been seen in a lot of action films where her male co-stars most of the heavy-lifting. She, in any case, isn’t worried about screen time, as she says, “The story and the character always drive me, irrespective of the length of my role. I’m happy as long as it contributes to the film.”

Going ahead, the 28-year-old wants to be seen performing stunts in her forthcoming projects. Truth be told, her next, Yodha, will see her engaging in high-octane action sequences. She shares, “Action and stunts have always been viewed as a man’s domain but slowly things are changing and I’m hopeful that women will be able to headline action films soon. I would love to work on a film like Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001). That has been a dream.”

One of greatest career aspirations is to be a piece of a superhero film. Speaking about it, Patani says, “I’ve always been a fan of this genre and Marvel movies. It would be great to star in a superhero film someday. The entourage of such films is extravagant and shooting in that setting would be something I would really want to at some point in my career.”
