Exclusive: 'I've never craved for screen space', says Begum Jaan star Gauahar Khan

Gauhar Khan who plays a prominent role in Begum Jaan that stars Vidya Balan in the lead role, hopes this film will get her due as an actress.

“I’m so glad to not be slotted in a particular bracket; glad that I don’t follow norms. I hope that my credibility as an actor is established with Begum Jaan. This is a film that can set me in a good zone,” says the actress, who had also gone on to win Bigg Boss’ seventh edition.

Gauhar, who plays a sex worker in the film, says she isn’t an insecure actress. She adds, “I have never craved for screen space — I want the audience to remember my character. And, I’m excited about Begum Jaan because the film gives me this opportunity.”
