Actor Diana Penty, who portrayed Mughal princess Zinat-un-Nissa Begum in the blockbuster ‘Chhaava’, says she welcomes both praise and criticism.
The historical action drama, which stars Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, grossed over Rs 600 crore at the Indian box office, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film of the year. Despite its commercial success, ‘Chhaava’ also attracted backlash for its portrayal of certain historical events.
“I’m a huge critic of my own work”
Speaking about the mixed reactions, Diana told PTI, “It’s important to have both sides so that actors or makers can do better next time. I’m a huge critic of my own work.”

Diana Penty revealed that her role required minimal dialogue, which was a new challenge for her. “There was so much power in the silences, and that’s not easy to do,” she said.
