Ever
since
the
trailer
of
Gehraiyaan
dropped
online,
fans
can't
stop
going
gaga
over
Deepika
Padukone's
character
Alisha.
However
portraying
such
a
complex
role
wasn't
easy
for
the
Padmaavat
actress.
At
the
trailer
launch
of
the
film,
Deepika
admitted
that
playing
a
troubled
character
and
portraying
infidelity
on
screen
was
tough
for
her.
She
revealed
that
she
had
to
dig
deep
and
visit
unpleasant
places
from
her
own
personal
life.
Explaining
why
the
character
of
Alisha
is
personal
for
her,
the
actress
said,
"For
me
this
character
is
a
lot
more
raw,
a
lot
more
real
than
some
of
the
other
characters
that
I
have
played
just
emotionally,
completely
stripped,
completely
naked
in
that
sense,
completely
vulnerable."
She
further
added,
"To
be
able
to
do
that
onscreen,
it
had
to
come
from
a
very
very
deep
place.
So,
yes,
it's
not
to
say
I
haven't
experienced
that
before.
I
think
to
this
extent
where
I
had
to
really
dig
deep
and
visit
places
that
aren't
really
the
most
pleasant
from
my
own
life
as
well
as
dealing
with
mental
health
issues.
So,
I
think
all
of
that
put
together
it
just
came
from
a
very
very
deep
place."
Talking
about
Gehraiyaan,
Deepika
essays
the
role
of
Alisha
who
is
married
to
Karan
(Dhairya
Karwa).
However,
things
take
a
turn
when
she
falls
for
her
cousin
Tia's
(Ananya
Panday)
fiance,
Zain
(played
by
Siddhant
Chaturvedi).
The
film
helmed
by
Shakun
Batra
is
slated
to
release
on
February
11.
