Veteran actor Farida Jalal has opened up about mouthing a cuss word in the teaser of Vishal Bhardwaj\u2019s upcoming film O\u2019Romeo, addressing the surprise and reactions the dialogue generated online. Speaking in an interview, she explained how the moment came about and why she agreed to the line, while also setting clear personal boundaries on the language she was willing to use for her character.<\/p>\n

Farida Jalal BREAKS SILENCE on saying cuss word \u201cch***ya\u201d in O\u2019Romeo teaser: \u201cThe character speaks in a certain way\u201d<\/p>\n
The teaser, released earlier this month for the film starring Shahid Kapoor, Triptii Dimri, Nana Patekar, Tamannaah Bhatia and others, drew attention for a brief scene in which Jalal\u2019s character utters the word \u201cch***ya.\u201d The teaser quickly became widely discussed across social media.<\/p>\n
Farida, in an interview with Zoom, said that working with Bhardwaj had been a long-standing wish. She recalled the moment he first asked her about the dialogue: \u201cVishal Bhardwaj was on my list of favourite directors\u2026 He said, \u2018Farida Ji, sabse pehle ek baat poochni thi,\u2019 \u2026 He asked, \u2018Aap gaali dengi na?\u2019\u201d reflecting that it wasn\u2019t something she had expected.<\/p>\n
Overwhelmed by the opportunity, she negotiated with him in a candid, light-hearted way. \u201cNahin rehne dijiye, chhod dijiye \u2014 aise toh main bolne wali nahin thi\u2026 All I said is nangi nangi, gandi gandi gaaliyan main nahin dungi. Chhoti wali, mamuli-si ho toh de sakti hoon\u2026 Ma-behen toh nahin bolungi,\u201d she said, making it clear she would not use explicit or family-related abuses. Bhardwaj understood her stance and responded with amusement.<\/p>\n
Addressing the stir caused by the single line in the teaser, Jalal noted that she had used the word only once in the film, but it was enough to surprise people given her long-standing image. \u201cPeople are saying, \u2018Farida Jalal ne yeh bola, humara pyari Daadi\/Maa ne yeh bola\u2026\u2019 They have seen me since childhood, and I have stayed away from such dialogues, but it is okay. This is because the character speaks in a certain way. She is always in a temper. If you say yes to a role, you have to go all the way for it,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
The reaction online, while mixed, underscored how closely audiences identify Jalal with her iconic maternal and grandmotherly roles. Even though she had rarely delivered such language on screen before, she said that staying true to the character was paramount once she agreed to play the part.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Romeo, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, is scheduled for theatrical release on February 13, 2026.<\/p>\n
