What makes Disha Patani so exceptional? To understand her phenomenon and discover wherein lies her USP, one needs to watch her on set or perform live — for she’s dynamic and oozes confidence in her work space, but is a reticent woman of few words off camera, shying away from revealing much about herself.
Disha’s true tomboyish demeanour was evident during her shoot with HELLO! in the Qatari capital of Doha. But place her before arc lights, and she transforms. She’s poised and flirts effortlessly with the camera, in sync with the photographer who draws the best out of the actor, in form, façade and photos.
Providing the perfect backdrop for the first leg of our shoot is KAI’s Songbird, a Chinese restaurant at Corinthia Yacht Club, with luxurious, airy interiors overlooking the azure marina of Porto Arabia.
“What a beautiful location,” Disha exclaims immediately on arrival, quickly slipping into a shimmery golden cold-shoulder dress that accentuates her slender frame and sets the tone for our elaborate cover shoot.
“This is my third time working with Team HELLO!,” she smiles, cheerful in a gown in one of her favourite colours. “It’s always been an extremely warm and fun experience, and I look forward to more such shoots!”
GEARED UP FOR HER NEXT
As she preens and poses for the camera, we engage in a tête-à-tête on the many interesting projects on her plate, starting with Yodha that releases this September. Unsurprisingly, Disha is excited about the film’s prospects at the box office, given that it’s an action franchise co-produced by Dharma Productions and Amazon Prime Video.
