Speaking to Navbharat Times, Dipika revealed her wish to portray Nirbhaya’s mother on the silver screen. “I still get shivers down my spine when I think about the Nirbhaya incident. It took seven years to get the justice she deserved and in these seven years, her mother Asha Devi stood like a rock for her daughter. Being a woman and a mother myself, I can understand what she went through in these last seven years,” Dipika told the daily.

 “The truth is that Nirbhaya’s mother was living the daughter’s death every day. If ever a film will be made on Nirbhaya’s life for the benefit of society, country and women, then I would definitely like to play Nirbhaya’s mother Asha Devi. I have to work in similar films whose characters are as strong and courageous as Asha Devi in real life,” the actress added further.
