The Marathi entertainment industry – whether it is films, television or theatre – never ceases to surprise you with the sheer talent it throws up. What matters here is just aptitude and nothing else. And Pune has been a major centre to bring up talent more often. It seems like there is something in the water of the city that allows pure talent to grow freely and well.

Frank yet thoughtful, bold yet sensitive, and charming to a fault, you are just enamoured the moment you meet her. And she is no holds barred when it comes to talking about her choices, films and everything else. She is an interviewer’s delight…
