वेरोनिका है दीपिका की नयी पहचान

 

वेरोनिका नाम सुनते ही सबसे पहला नाम जो दिमाग में आता है वो है दीपिका पादुकोण का। फिल्म कॉकटेल से अपने बहतरीन किरदार को लेकर दीपिका हर जगह छा चुकी हैं। वो जहाँ भी जाती हैं उन्हें अब लोग वेरोनिका के नाम से ही पुकारते हैं। हाल ही की बात है जब दीपिका एक रेस्टोरेंट में गयी थी और वहां बच्चे से लेकर वृद्ध तक उन्हें वेरोनिका के नाम से ही संबोधित कर रहे थे। ये देख कर दीपिका अचंभित रह गयी थी कि उनके वेरोनिका के किरदार ने लोगों पर कितना असर किया है।

ये साबित करता है कि इस किरदार ने लोगों पर कितना गहरा प्रभाव छोड़ा है। हालाकि वो अपने किरदार के नाम से हमेशा से जानी जाती हैं चाहे ओम शांति ओम में शांति प्रिया का किरदार हो या फिर लव आजकल में मीरा का किरदार। उनका हर किरदार लोगों के दिलों में बस जाता है। लेकिन वेरोनिका के किरदार ने वाकई में कमाल दिखा दिया। और इसमें कोई भी आश्चर्य वाली बात नहीं होगी अगर इस साल उन्हें सर्वश्रेष्ठ अभिनेत्री का ख़िताब मिल जाये।

वेरोनिका का किरदार एक बहुत चुनौतीपूर्ण किरदार था। किसी भी अभिनेत्री के लिए ये बेहद मुश्किल होता। लेकिन दीपिका ने इस चुनौती को स्वीकार किया और यही नहीं उन्होंने सबको ये साबित भी कर दिया की वो किस लेवल की अभिनेत्री हैं। उन्होंने बड़ी ही ख़ूबसूरती के साथ वेरोनिका के किरदार के साथ पूरा न्याय किया है।

यूँ तो दीपिका के प्रशंसकों की सूची बेहद लम्बी है लेकिन कॉकटेल के बाद दीपिका के प्रशंसकों की सूची और भी बढ़ गयी। इस फिल्म से दीपिका का एक नया रूप देखने को मिला। और उनके वेरोनिका के किरदार को लोगों से काफी सराहना भी मिली।

अगले साल दीपिका कई बड़ी फिल्मों के साथ आ रही हैं।

Amidst racks of fabulous saris and colorful fabrics, many of which were used for the vibrant market scenes filmed in Pondicherry, India, where Pi spent his early year, there is a rich multicultural depth to the movie. One can see the countryside of Southern India in the hillside town of Munnar along with the French elegance of Pondicherry on 3D!
