Rasika Dugal's look in Mirzapur
As she slipped into the role of the wife of a gang lord for the upcoming web series Mirzapur, Rasika Dugal was given a clear brief at the onset — her character, Beena Tripathi, though dainty, was determined and desirable. After understanding her character graph, Dugal — in consultation with her make-up artiste Serina Texiera — turned to veteran actor Meena Kumari for inspiration. The actor's look was designed along the lines of the legend's look in Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962).
A source close to Dugal reveals, "Meena Kumari played a broken woman craving her husband's affection in Saheb Bibi Aur Ghulam. Rasika's part in Mirzapur too is along similar lines — while she tries to get her husband's [played by Pankaj Tripathi] attention, he is too busy to pay heed to her needs and desires. Though not in entirety, there are similarities between the characters and hence, the inspiration."
