Did you know Dimple Kapadia gave her earrings to Christopher Nolan after Tenet shoot?

As a fervent admirer of Dimple Kapadia’s illustrious career, I find myself consistently captivated by her timeless charm and exceptional acting prowess. Her ability to effortlessly transition from Bollywood to Hollywood and back again is nothing short of inspiring.


Dimple Kapadia first gained widespread recognition with her initial film Bobby. However, it was only after over a decade had passed that she graced the silver screen again. Despite this lengthy absence, she managed to win over audiences once more with her captivating acting abilities and allure. After becoming a dominant force in Bollywood and receiving numerous honors, including the National Film Award, she appeared in the film Tenet. In a recent interview, the actress reminisced that director Christopher Nolan asked her to remove her earrings following the completion of her scene.

Reflecting on that unforgettable moment, I find myself transported back in time when Dimple Kapadia, a star whom I’ve admired deeply, revealed she had a fitting and, without a second thought, removed her earrings to wear during the session. As if orchestrated by fate itself, Christopher Nolan, the mastermind behind Tenet, admired them and suggested she could keep them after filming concluded. The esteemed Indian actress, ever gracious, complied with his request and entrusted him with her cherished jewelry piece. In an interview with Vogue India, none other than Angrezi Medium’s leading lady, showered praise upon Jeffrey Kurland for his exceptional costume design work on the film.

I can’t help but sing his praises! Jeffrey, oh man, he’s got patience that’s off the charts. He put up with all my ramblings and nonsense, poor guy. He battled with me, struggling to keep up, yet he crafted such a captivating image. It was nothing short of breathtaking!

Kapadia played a crucial role in the comedy film “Dil Chahta Hai” directed by Farhan Akhtar. Interestingly, during their conversation, she shared that her co-star and close friend, Akshaye Khanna, was the one who persuaded her to join the 2001 movie. She explained, “Akshaye Khanna phoned me. He was so kindhearted. He said, ‘Please, please, do it for me’. And of course, I agreed. It’s a good thing I did because working alongside Zoya (Akhtar) and the entire team was an entirely unique experience. I believe by then, I was part of a different generation in the film industry.

Speaking personally, I’ve been absolutely thrilled to catch her in “Murder Mubarak” and “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya” this year. It’s like a dream come true for me as a devoted fan!
