Wanting to read Pu.La Deshpande for quite a while

Since this is the only book thread on our beloved Marathi forum, I will post about Jhimma and other books that I read, here.

I recently happened upon Vijaya Mehta's autobiography "Jhimma: Athvanincha Gof". Vijaya Mehta is considered to be the iconic Marathi theatre director and actor.

Mehta writes very well, she should have been a writer as well.. Even though she writes about herself she has lived such a long life we get to know about per-independence days as well from somebody who has acatually lived them.

After reading the book my respect for Pu La Deshpande and Vijay Tendulkar has gone down a bit.

She talks about iconic actors and writers she worked with which give us a glimpse into history of Marathi theatre.

A very entertaining autobiography.

Trivia: Vijay Mehta is daughter-in-law of famous yesteryear Indian actress Durga Khote. She was married to Durga Khote's son Hiren and they had two children together before Hiren Khote died of heart-attack. She then married Farokh Mehta.

Vijaya Mehta also directed Iconic Hindi TV show Lifeline and movies like Pestonji.

विजया बाई या स्वतःच एक इन्स्टिट्यूट आहेत. चालत बोलत.

प्रचंड अनुभव, दीर्घ कारकीर्द, अनेक उत्तमोत्तम शिष्य /कलाकार त्यांनी घडवलेआहेत.

नीना कुलकर्णी यांनी एका मुलाखतीत बाईंच्या कडक शिस्ती बद्दल सांगितलं होतं, rehersal करते वेळी, प्रत्यक्ष प्रयोग उभा कसा राहिले पाहिजे वगैरे सर्व गोष्टी त्यांनी शिकवल्या आम्हाला असा नीना ताई म्हणाल्या होत्या.

Another trivia; Vijaya Bai's son Deven Khote is founder of UTV and produced many serials, movies and ad films.

Ty Suraj sir for your brief review of JAG . I have put it on my read-list which getting a bit too long

In bold: Can you please e;aborate on it🤔. I don't know much about Vijay Tendulkar but I guess everybody in Maharahstra loves P.L.Deshpande. What has she exactly written about them in her Autobiography 🤡?

I agree. Some of the great actors like Vikram Gokhale and Nana Patekar have also worked with her. There was another great actor she worked with Madhav Vatve who was her contemporary. She also worked with some great Marathi theatre actors from 1900's when she started working in 1951. She worked for almost 56 years, many people don't even live that long but then it was not work for her because she loved what she was doing.
