While
Meghna
Gulzar's
Chhapaak
has
opened
to
some
rave
reviews
from
the
critics,
you
would
be
surprised
to
know
that
the
filmmaker's
mother,
popular
veteran
actress
Rakhee
Gulzar
refused
to
watch
the
previews
of
this
Deepika
Padukone
starrer.
Speaking
about
it
to
Asian
Age,
she
revealed
that
she
didn't
attend
any
of
the
friends
and
family
previews
of
the
film,
as
she
wanted
to
experience
it
for
the
first
time
with
the
'most
honest
and
unforgiving'
audience
members.
The
tabloid
quoted
her
as
saying,
"I
wanted
to
see
the
film
on
release
with
the
public.
They
are
the
ones
who
are
the
most
honest
and
unforgiving
judge
of
films.
I
also
took
along
members
of
my
staff
to
see
their
reaction."
The
Trishul
actress
was
all
praise
for
her
daughter's
direction
and
added,
"There
were
so
many
youngsters
in
the
theatre,
all
watching
in
rapt
attention.
What
Bosky
(pet
name
for
Meghna)
has
achieved
in
Chhapaak
is
not
easy
to
do.
It's
a
true
story,
faithful
to
facts
but
still
so
cinematic.
I
am
very
proud
of
my
daughter."
Chhapaak
is
based
on
the
real-life
story
of
acid-attack
survivor
Laxmi
Agarwal
and
has
collected
a
total
of
Rs.
19.02
crore
within
three
day
of
release.
Prior
the
film's
release,
the
Deepika
Padukone
starrer
hit
a
controversy
when
the
actress
attended
a
recent
student
protest
at
Jawaharlal
Nehru
University
in
Delhi.
Reacting
to
this,
Meghna
Gulzar
told
PTI,
"We
have
to
be
able
to
separate
between
the
personal
and
professional.
What
somebody
does
in
their
personal
life
and
what
they
have
done
as
a
professional
in
a
film
needs
to
be
looked
at
separately."
