In an interview with NavbharatTimes, she said, “I still get shivers down my spine when I think about the Nirbhaya incident. It took seven years to get the justice she deserved and in these seven years, her mother Asha Devi stood like a rock for her daughter. Being a woman and a mother myself, I can understand what she went through in these last seven years.”
She added, “The truth is that Nirbhaya's mother was living the daughter's death every day. If ever a film will be made on Nirbhaya's life for the benefit of society, country and women, then I would definitely like to play Nirbhaya's mother Asha Devi. I have to work in similar films whose characters are as strong and courageous as Asha Devi in real life.”
Dipika, who was last seen in Ayushmann Khurrana's ‘Bala’, had earlier told that she is looking for strong women-oriented roles.
She will be next seen in the film Gaalib based on the life of Afzal Guru's son Gaalib Guru. She will play the role of Afzal Guru's wife in the film. Besides that she will be also playing the role of Indian activist Sarojini Naidu and will start with the shooting once the lock down ends.
