Laapataa Ladies fame Pratibha Ranta recalls getting 'big' compliment from Aamir Khan; 'You can easily mold yourself...'

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for emerging talent, I must say that Pratibha Ranta is undeniably one to watch in the world of Indian cinema. Her captivating performances in Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar have certainly left an indelible impression on audiences, and her journey is nothing short of inspiring.


Pratibha Ranta has charmed audiences with her mesmerizing acting in Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. Previously a television star, the actress embarked on her film career with Kiran’s directorial debut. In a recent interview, Pratibha shared a heartwarming compliment she received from Aamir Khan, which she will cherish forever.

In another phrasing, here’s how you might reword that statement: Aamir Khan served as the producer for the film “Laapataa Ladies,” with Kiran Rao taking on the directorial role. The main cast members include Pratibha Ranta, Sparsh Shrivastava, and Nitanshi Goel. Recently, during an interview, Pratibha shared insights about her collaboration with fellow actors and reminisced about a time when Aamir gathered all three of them for a discussion regarding the film.

Ranta mentioned that they were filming in Bhopal, and Aamir invited Sparsh, Nitanshi, and Prathabha to discuss something with him. According to Ranta, Aamir said, “Please join me, I’d like to speak to all of you.” He praised us for our excellent work. Later, Aamir approached me and commented, “You have a unique look. You can adapt yourself seamlessly into any role.” I consider that a significant compliment.

During a conversation with The Indian Express, Ranta shared that she won the part of Laapataa Ladies less than a month after performing a live audition alongside Aamir Khan. The actress explained that her brief audition scene impressed everyone involved, leading to her ultimately being cast for the role.

The actress explained that everything got locked down within a month, leaving her puzzled and seeking clarification. It all happened quite rapidly for her. Following this, our dialogue training workshop was held, which lasted a month. Afterward, we started filming, and we continued for approximately 45 to 50 days on set. That’s the sequence of events she experienced.

Apart from other topics, she discussed her involvement with the Laapataa Ladies and admitted that she could empathize with her character, Jaya, which allowed for genuine, spontaneous responses.

Simultaneously, Pratibha Ranta could be spotted in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s production, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. In this series, she portrayed the character of Shama. Currently, you can stream both Heeramandi and Laapataa Ladies on Netflix.
