Netizens had gone berserk over Lara’s look in the upcoming film, Bell Bottom. Recently, in an interview, the actress revealed that she had a special connection with Indira Gandhi and hence felt it was more personal.
Speaking to an e-portal, Lara Dutta said that her father, Wing Commander L.K Dutta, was Indira Gandhi’s personal pilot. The actress stated, “He had flown her many times and knew her personally. I grew up as a kid hearing stories about her. So, in a way, I felt an indirect personal connection with her.”
Lara Dutta’s husband and daughter’s reaction
Lara Dutta revealed her husband Mahesh Bhupathi and their daughter Saira were stunned by her transformation. Due to the covid-19 lockdown, she had to conduct her look tests from home. As a result, both her husband and daughter could see her transforming Lara into late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
Lara Dutta in an interview stated, “She was intrigued. She saw it come alive in front of her… She came in and she saw whole silicon on my face and said, ‘Mum they are going to kill you, you can’t breathe.’ She was so worried. Ya, but having said that, she was also very intrigued and was like, ‘Can I touch the nose, the eyebrows? Can I do this, that?’.”
Speaking about her husband, she said that he was shocked that he did not want to hug her.
