Chakori Dwivedi Takes on a Pivotal Role Alongside Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi in Aamir Khan Productions’ Ek Din

Multifaceted artist Chakori Dwivedi added another feather to her cap with the recent release of her film Ek Din on May 1. Known for seamlessly balancing performance and writing, she stepped into a pivotal on-screen role in the Aamir Khan Productions film, starring alongside Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi. With her distinctive and fresh presence, Chakori brought a unique energy to the project, which has already been generating buzz as a heartfelt and nuanced romantic drama.

In the film, Chakori essayed the role of Meenu, an observant and sharp office-goer who works alongside the lead characters and shares a unique dynamic with her counterpart Monu, two characters conceived almost like twins in spirit. As a colleague, Meenu is deeply aware of her surroundings, occasionally indulging in harmless gossip, yet grounded in sincerity and warmth. Under the direction of Sunil Pandey, the character was crafted with depth and nuance, steering clear of caricature and ensuring she added meaningfully to the film’s emotional fabric beyond surface-level traits. Chakori’s portrayal brought an effortlessly relatable authenticity to the role, adding layers to the film’s ensemble storytelling.

Speaking about landing the role and her experience in the film, Chakori Dwivedi shared, “I got this opportunity through Faezeh Jalali, the casting director of the film, who reached out to me while she was casting for the project. I auditioned for it, going through several rounds before I finally got the part. I’m extremely thankful and grateful to her, not just for this project, but because she is also someone I consider my mentor. She has trained and taught me at drama school. My experience working with Junaid and Sai Pallavi was also truly amazing, we had a lot of fun on set. Junaid is incredibly intelligent, empathetic, and very collaborative as a co-actor, which made the entire process feel seamless. Sai, on the other hand, is such a graceful and inspiring performer; there’s so much to learn just by observing her. Working with both of them was not only comfortable but also creatively fulfilling. It feels like a dream come true to have worked with Aamir Khan Productions, and I would love to collaborate with them again.”

Recalling one of her most memorable experiences from the shoot, she added, “Shooting in Japan was absolutely breathtaking. It was snowing, and dancing on the streets of Japan to a Bollywood song like ‘Konichiwa’ was surreal. I’ve grown up watching such moments in Hindi films, and to experience it firsthand, with locals watching us, was truly special. I feel grateful for this film and all the experiences that came with it.”

With Ek Din now in theatres, Chakori Dwivedi continues to build momentum across both acting and writing. Wearing multiple creative hats, she has been seamlessly balancing her journey as an actor and writer, most recently working as a lyricist on Tu Yaa Main, featuring Adarsh Gourav and Shanaya Kapoor. Her writing credits also include acclaimed shows like Netflix’s Class and Amazon Prime Video’s Ziddi Girls. As an actor, she has been seen in JioHotstar’s Home Shanti and Amazon Prime Video’s Agra Affair. With a diverse and steadily evolving body of work across mediums, Chakori is carving a distinctive space for herself as a promising creative voice in the Hindi film and streaming landscape.
