Q: How was your selection done for the film ' Humne Jeena Seekh Liya' ? A: Mr. Milind Ukey and his group from Nagpur were in search of few boys and girls who would fit in as 9th standard students and I fitted into their requirement to play the lead role opposite another newcomer Siddharth Chaphekar. Q: And, how was your entry into Marathi TV serials ? A: Mr. Shrirang Godbole selected me for the role of Sai in 'Agnihotra' while Producer Sangita Rakesh Sarang had invited me to Mumbai for the audition of 'Kunku' and based on that test , I was offered the role of Janaki. Q: How do you compare these two roles? Which one is more challenging ? A: I observe a lot of contrast while playing these two roles. In fact, I have to mentally prepare myself before going on the sets of each one of them, as Janaki has a village background, while Sai is from the city side, with modern thinking. But, both the roles are equally challenging. I cannot really distinguish between the two. Q: What's your experience while working with senior artistes in both these serials ? A: It has been a great experience working with all of them. Mr. Mohan Joshi, Ms. Suhas Joshi and others are all big names, but they are very co-operative. We behave like a family. Now, while in Mumbai, I am staying with Ms. Suhas Joshi, who is playing my Grandmother in Agnihotra. So, you can imagine the closeness between us. She is very kind hearted and I am grateful to her. Q: How are you managing your studies, while pursuing your acting career ? A: I have completed my B.Com and presently doing my M.com part II, but due to busy shooting schedule and commitments, I was not able to appear for exams this time. May be in due course of time I will be able to complete my post graduation. Q: It means that you will not take up acting as a full time career ? A: I have already chosen acting as my career, but I am equally serious about completing my M.Com. May be, I will take up CA examination too. You need to be prepared with your education to face any eventuality in life. Q: Any other projects in the pipeline ? A: I haven't committed to any offers yet . But, I have completed Sumitra Bhave's film 'Ek Cup Cha' which is into post production and will be released soon. |
