Priya Gupta (BOMBAY TIMES; January 6, 2014)

The talented Deepti Naval plays Adhyayan Suman’s mother in Shekhar Suman’s directorial debut Heartless. We have learnt that her character is modelled on the actorfilmmaker’s real-life wife, Alka. While Heartless is a romantic thriller based on the concept of anaesthesia awareness, at its core, it is a mother-son relationship story. All mothers are possessive about their sons and we have learnt that apparently, the chemistry between Adhyayan and Deepti became so real that it made Alka jealous. Well, if the film does well, jealousy should give way to pride for both her son and for Deepti.
