Mrunal
Thakur
is
pretty
engrossed
in
her
preparation
for
her
upcoming
film
Pippa,
which
is
based
on
India's
victory
over
Pakistan
in
the
1971
war.
While
speaking
to
a
leading
daily,
Thakur
said
that
she
can't
give
her
best
performance
until
she
does
her
research
about
her
character.
She
told
Times
Of
India,
"If
I
don't
understand
what
the
character's
journey
or
story
has
been
like,
I
won't
be
able
to
deliver
to
the
best
of
my
ability.
That's
not
something
I
can
ever
do.
For
my
role
in
Pippa,
my
research
has
been
very
intense
because
it's
a
chapter
from
our
country's
history."
She
further
added
that
she
has
been
doing
everything
that
she
can
to
understand
the
event
properly,
including
looking
up
journals,
articles,
books
and
testimonials
by
soldiers.
Mrunal
further
added
that
she
is
what
she
is
because
of
her
on-screen
characters
and
their
flaws
and
weaknesses.
She
has
learnt
a
lot
from
their
journeys
and
has
become
wiser.
"Some
films
leave
a
lasting
impression
on
an
actor.
For
me,
they
would
be
the
parts
I
played
in
Love
Sonia
and
Toofan.
If
Sonia
(her
character
in
Love
Sonia)
taught
me
what
life
is
all
about
and
how
it
is
so
precious,
then
Ananya
(her
character
in
Toofan)
taught
me
to
convert
the
pain
into
strength
instead
of
my
weakness," added
Mrunal.
In
the
same
interview,
when
Mrunal
was
asked
on
what
basis
she
chooses
her
films,
she
said
that
she
never
thinks
about
how
many
people
the
film
will
attract,
the
age
group
it
will
resonate
with,
or
whether
the
film
will
be
a
hit.
She
went
on
to
add
that
she
considers
the
story,
screenplay
and
the
director.
"A
good
script
is
very
important
and
that's
what
plays
a
crucial
role
in
taking
up
a
film," concluded
the
Jersey
actress.
