Meet the beautiful actress Devika Bhise

 

Why Devika Bhise of  The Man Who Knew Infinity  is an actress you want to know

For Devika Bhise, casting a role in The Man Who Knew Infinity was an important moment in his career. In the film, which co-star Dev Patel, Bhise plays the wife of the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. "I'm very much in touch with my Indian heritage," says Bhise, who grew up in the United States but comes from India. "But I do not often go into Indian roles because I do not look Indian enough. So that role was important to me." It also took more work for Bhise, who spends most of her time off with her Yorkshire terrier teacup, Cleopatra. Then she goes to Singapore to shoot Shambhalacom Jonathan Rhys Meyers, in which the actress plays an "interesting, confident, sexy" college student. " I'm really excited to do something completely opposite to what I did last time, "she says." Infinity was difficult. This character is going to be an explosion.

Get ready to find The Man Who Knew Infinity. This weekend, the movie about the oriental Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan hits the theaters, giving an honest look on the life of world-renowned genius. Dev Patel stars as Ramanujan, the man who left India for England in the early 20th century to study with Professor GH Hardy (played by Jeremy Irons) at Trinity College at Cambridge University. Devika Bhise plays Ramanujan's wife, Janaki, in the film, and she gave us all the details about the biographical drama when she stopped by the InStyle offices in New York earlier this week. "My character is pretty much the only non-mathematical aspect of the movie," said Bhise. "Her husband has no formal education, but he's just that genius who sees mathematical equations." It was a taboo for Ramanujan to leave his family in India while pursuing his career - and it was especially difficult for his wife. "A big part of the film is that it lets me go to Cambridge to study with Hardy," said Bhise. "But together they collaborated on equations that changed the world of mathematics."

Unfortunately for the character of Bhise, this meant a new way of life. "A wife who was alone in India without a son or husband at the time was very difficult," he explained. "Not to mention, if you left India, you would break the caste." So you're basically excommunicating yourself, and it ended up paying off for him because he made a name for himself.But the whole wife's whole life has changed, and she was worried that she and her children would be discredited with the community when he left. "Understandably, it took Rananujan a long time. "There was a lot of pressure to get great things at Cambridge because the stakes were really high when he left India," said Bhise.

As we now know, Ramanujan has found success - and his work is honored with a precise portrayal in the film, according to Bhise. "The really cool thing about this movie is that the math community hugged it so much," he explained. "They said it was the only film about math that was truly accurate, and it was also the first movie so far allowed to film at Trinity College in Cambridge." The Bhish-based paper in India meant she did not spend much time exploring Cambridge, but she still managed to experience some emotion while in India. "Dev and I were doing a night shot in an outdoor cabin, and there were a ton of flying bats," she said. "We were looking at each other doing this scene, and suddenly a bat was approaching and we would shrink. You can actually see them in the closeups during the scene in the movie. "Of course, you may not even notice the bats with everything else going on the screen." It's such an emotional film, and you really feel thrilled, "said Bhise, adding, "It's one of those movies where the story really stays with you." For Bhise, it's a particularly important story to tell. "As an Indian, I'm looking forward to an Indian movie that's in the mainstream," she said. And especially one that's a true story.
