In Mirzapur, most characters have a gun or a gaali as their weapon. But Sweety Gupta has something much sharper — her sarcasm. 🔥

Shriya Pilgaonkar breaks down what makes Sweety Gupta such a unique character and why her ability to cut through a man’s ego with nothing but words is her biggest strength.

She also talks about the iconic cake scene between Sweety and Munna, where a single interaction had to communicate the complicated dynamic between the two characters.

While the series had more time to establish their backstory, the film had the challenge of conveying that relationship to audiences who may be discovering these characters for the first time.

Shriya explains how they tried to capture the chemistry between Sweety and Munna — showing that Munna may have tried many times, but Sweety was never going to give in.
