On International Day of Sign Languages, actor Rasika Dugal recalled the time she learnt sign language for Tu Hai Mera Sunday (2017). In the feel-good comedy directed by Milind Dhaimade, Rasika had played Tasneem, a mother to two hearing-impaired children. The actor had learned sign language for the part and was appreciated for it.
“Sign language is a language like any other. My co-actors who played my children in the film are hearing impaired, and I felt I needed to learn the language they used so I could communicate with them, even if the role didn't necessarily ask that of me,” Rasika shared.
Tu Hai Mera Sunday revolves around a group of five friends and what follows when their Sunday soccer game on the beach is cancelled.
Moving forward, Rasika awaits the Netflix release of Mira Nair's A Suitable Boy, Mirzapur Season 2, Delhi Crime Season 2 and Out Of Love Season 2.
