When Actors go behind the camera!

                            When Actors go behind the camera!

A Photograph not only captures an image but also a moment brimming with emotions and memories. From breathtaking landscapes to candid portraits, each photograph tells its own story. On this World Photography Day, &TV artists share personal anecdotes behind some of their most memorable shots. These include Smita Sable (Dhaniya of Bheema), Ashutosh Kulkarni (Krishan Bihari Vajpayee of Atal), Yogesh Tripathi (Happu Singh, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Shubhangi Atre (Angoori Bhabi, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai). Smita Sable, who plays Dhaniya in Bheema, shares, “The most memorable photo I have ever taken was of a cat feeding her kittens, her eyes radiating love and protection. It was a rainy day, and I found them huddled in a quiet corner, away from the world’s chaos. The way she cared for her little ones, despite her challenges, reminded me of a mother’s strength and unconditional love. Capturing that moment was like preserving a compassionate story of resilience and nurturing - one that speaks volumes without words.” Ashutosh Kulkarni, known as Krishan Bihari Vajpayee in Atal, shares, “Photography has always been both a hobby and a passion for me. After college, I formally studied photography for two years to refine my skills. I am drawn to capturing emotions and moments. Once, during an outdoor shoot, I saw a group of underprivileged children watching the shoot eagerly. I asked the crew’s spot boy to offer them food. The sheer joy on their faces as they received the food was heartwarming. They gathered around, laughing and sharing a simple meal. That moment, their smiles, and their joy, compelled me to capture the moment. That photograph is a memory I will always treasure.”

Yogesh Tripathi, known for his role as Daroga Happu Singh in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, recounts, “The most striking image I have ever taken is of Mumbai’s vibrant streets, with cars moving and rusted buildings standing as silent witnesses to countless stories. It was a monsoon evening, and despite the rain, the city pulsed with energy. The contrast between sleek, modern vehicles and ancient, weathered structures captured Mumbai’s resilient spirit and its rich, layered history. The photo conveys a city that never sleeps, where the past and present coexist in beautiful, chaotic harmony.” Shubhangi Atre, who plays Angoori Bhabhi in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, shares, “On World Photography Day, I feel nostalgic thinking about the most memorable photos I have taken. As an actor, being in front of the camera is a joy, but capturing moments behind it is a different pleasure. I remember photographing sunrises on treks, the vibrant streets of India, and nature’s serene beauty. But the most memorable photos are those with my loved ones—moments of laughter, tears, and pure joy. Photography has taught me to appreciate everyday beauty and cherish memories forever.”

Actors and their special Raksha Bandhan plans!

                      Actors and their special Raksha Bandhan plans!

Raksha Bandhan, a festival symbolizing the cherished bond between brothers and sisters, is celebrated with great enthusiasm. &TV actresses share their cherished bonds with brothers and the special celebrations they have planned for this year’s Raksha Bandhan. These include Tejaswini Singh who is playing Bheema in &TV's new show Bheema, Neha Joshi (Krishna Devi Vajpayee, Atal), Himani Shivpuri (Katori Amma, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Vidisha Srivastava (Anita Bhabi, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai). Tejaswini Singh, aka Bheema in &TV's new show Bheema, shares, “My brother means the world to me, and my love for him is boundless. As the older sibling, he sometimes scolds me for my pranks, but he's also my partner-in-crime when we're in the mood for some fun. This year, our Rakhi celebration will be virtual. I am in Mumbai for my show, while he is in Jaipur with our parents. I've already asked my elder sister to bring a Spider-Man Rakhi for him, as he is his favourite superhero, and tie it on my behalf. I have also asked him to send me a gift in return. Let's see what he sends (laughs). At our home in Jaipur, we have a big celebration. All my cousins, uncles, and aunts visit, and my mother cooks puri-sabzi, kheer, and a variety of pakoras, which are my all-time favourites. I will also pray for my brother, as my Dadi (grandmother) always says that the best thing one can do in the world is to pray for the well-being of others.” Neha Joshi aka Krishna Devi Vajpayee in Atal, shares, “Coming from a big Maharashtrian family, this festival has always been a grand affair for us. In my house, the Rakhi party includes a mélange of mouth-watering delicacies, from the yummiest appetizers to delicious desserts made by my mom. I am very excited to be a part of this celebration. I have already chosen my Rakhi and a special gift for my brother. I am sure he will like it. My brother is older than me, and he is protective and caring and tries to boss around (laughs). He has been my constant through thick and thin. Our bond is exceptional, and I also call him my closest friend. No one knows my secrets more than him. We will make the most of our time when we meet! Wishing everyone a very Happy Raksha Bandhan.”

Himani Shivpuri, who plays Katori Amma in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, says, “We celebrate Raksha Bandhan most traditionally. It is always a huge festival in my hometown, Dehradun. We host the festivities in our old house with my extended family. In our home, it is almost like a custom where we meet, tie Rakhi to our brothers, and then binge on our favourite cuisine. And nothing will change this year. Due to my busy shooting schedule, I may not attend the event with my family this year. However, I will send my Rakhi to my brother and will be present on the video call. But that does not mean that my Raksha Bandhan will end there. As soon as I get my next long break, I will visit home and have a good time with my family and, of course, my beloved brother. Gift bhi to lena hai (laughs). But to be honest, my brother is very special to me. He is not just my brother but also a father when I am looking for guidance and a friend when I must share some secret and have an opinion. I am grateful to have a brother like him in my life. I wish my brother Himanshu and all my other brothers a Happy Raksha Bandhan.”

Vidisha Srivastava, known for her role as Anita Bhabi in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, shares, “I adore my brother, Gaurav. He is one of the most important people in my life, who has always been there. Together, we are a house on fire. We love pranking and troubling each other. We will start the day with the traditional Raksha Bandhan ceremony at home. I will tie a beautiful Rakhi on Gaurav's wrist, symbolizing my love and prayers for his well-being. This tradition, filled with warmth and affection, is the heart of our celebration. Nothing beats the joy of indulging in homemade sweets during festivals. I have planned to prepare some of Gaurav's favourite sweets, like gulab jamun. I have carefully chosen a gift that reflects Gaurav's personality and interests. It's a small token of my gratitude for always being my guiding star. I can't wait to see his reaction! The day will conclude with a grand family dinner."

Neeta Mohindra seen as Kailasha Bua in &TV’s Bheema!

Neeta Mohindra seen as Kailasha Bua in &TV’s Bheema!

&TV’s new show Bheema is receiving widespread acclaim for its compelling storyline and talented cast. Neeta Mohindra, who is portraying the formidable antagonist Kailasha Bua, has also been receiving a lot of praises from within the industry and fans. Talking exclusively about her character, Neeta Mohindra shares, “Kailasha Bua is extremely strict and has a commanding presence whose authority within the family is unquestionable. Her son, Kalika Singh, holds her in deep respect, reflecting her values and beliefs. She has a strong faith and is generous, especially to those she favors. Despite her respected and influential status, her commitment to social hierarchy makes her one of the strongest antagonist characters.”

As she continues filming for the show, Neeta Mohindra reflects on her experience of preparing for the role saying, “Preparing for the role of Kailasha Bua involved immersing myself in the mindset of a woman deeply entrenched in societal hierarchies. I dedicated significant time to research on the cultural and social dynamics of that period to fully understand Kailasha Bua's beliefs and her resistance to change. Portraying an antagonist presents a unique challenge, as it requires embodying a character whose actions and values may conflict with modern ideals. Yet, this complexity is what makes the role so compelling. Talking about her co-stars, Neeta adds, “I am enjoying shooting on the set every day. The entire team, including the artists and the crew, is exceptionally supportive. Their dedication motivates me to excel in every scene. Working with such talented people has allowed me to delve deeply into my character, exploring Kailasha Bua’s motivations and the complexities that define her.”

‘हा ध्यास जीवनाचा’ या आत्मचरित्राचे प्रकाशन माननीय राजसाहेब ठाकरे यांच्या शुभहस्ते पार पडले

‘हा ध्यास जीवनाचा’ या आत्मचरित्राचे प्रकाशन माननीय राजसाहेब ठाकरे यांच्या शुभहस्ते पार पडले

आपल्या देशात भाऊ साठे यांच्यासारख्या कलाकारांची योग्य दखल घेतली जात नाही - राज ठाकरे यांनी व्यक्त केली खंत

'ख्यातनाम शिल्पकार कै. सदाशिव साठे ऊर्फ भाऊ’ यांनी साकारलेली शिल्प पाहत आम्ही मोठे झालो. भारतामध्ये अनेक शिल्पकार, चित्रकार आहेत ज्यांचा देश चुकलेला आहे. कारण हे कलावंत जर विदेशात असते, तर त्यांचा खूप मोठा सन्मान झाला असता.', असे प्रतिपादन राज ठाकरे यांनी केले.  सदाशिव साठे स्मृती संग्रहालय आणि ग्रंथाली यांच्या तर्फे ख्यातनाम शिल्पकार कै. सदाशिव साठे यांचे आत्मकथन असलेले ‘हा ध्यास जीवनाचा’ या  पुस्तकाचा प्रकाशन सोहळा नेहरू सेंटर, वरळी येथे राजसाहेब ठाकरे यांच्या हस्ते गुरुवारी उत्साहात पार पडला. यावेळी व्यासपीठावर चित्रकार व कला अभ्यासक सुहास बहुळकर, चित्रपट निर्माते व दिग्दर्शक रवी जाधव, ज्येष्ठ पत्रकार सुधीर जोगळेकर, 'ग्रंथाली'चे विश्वस्त सुदेश हिंगलासपूरकर आणि या पुस्तकाचे सहलेखन आणि शब्दांकन केलेले सतीश कान्हेरे हे मान्यवर उपस्थित होते.

'भाऊंच्या पुस्तकाचे सहलेखन मला करता आले, हा माझ्यासाठी मोठा सन्मान आहे', अशा शब्दात लेखक सतीश कान्हेरे यांनी आपल्या भावना व्यक्त केल्या. तर पुढच्या वर्षी भाऊंचे जन्मशताब्दी वर्ष सुरू होतंय त्या निमित्ताने तरी सरकारने भाऊंच्या महान कार्याची दखल घ्यावी जेणेकरून येणाऱ्या पिढीला प्रेरणा मिळेल, अशी इच्छा  ज्येष्ठ पत्रकार सुधीर जोगळेकर यांनी यावेळी बोलून दाखवली.

'संकल्पनात्मक शिल्प आणि व्यक्तीचं व्यक्तिमत्त्व शिल्पामध्ये मांडणं हे भाऊंचे वैशिष्ट्य होते.  अशी पुस्तकं कला विद्यार्थ्यांना अभ्यासासाठी देण्यात यावी', अशी सूचना चित्रकार व कला अभ्यासक सुहास बहुळकर यांनी यावेळी केली. तर निर्माते, दिग्दर्शक रवी जाधव म्हणाले की, “डोंबिवलीत केमिकलच्या कारखान्याबरोबरंच भाऊंच्या शिल्पांचे सुंदर सरोवर आहे. पुस्तक वाचल्यानंतर या  कलादालनाला प्रत्येकाने अवश्य भेट द्यावी. शिल्पांकडे कसे पहावे याची वेगळी दृष्टी देणारे हे पुस्तक आहे.”

या कार्यक्रमात जेव्हा 'तुमच्या शब्दाला वजन असल्याने तुम्हीच सरकार दरबारात शब्द टाकून भाऊंच्या कामाची दखल घ्यायला सांगा' असे जेव्हा  राज ठाकरे यांना सांगण्यात आले. तेव्हा   'पुतळ्यांबद्दल पुतळयांशी काय बोलायचं?  जे करायचं ते आपण एकत्र येऊन करू. किंवा माझ्या हातात सत्ता देऊन दोन्ही अपेक्षा माझ्याकडून करा ', अशी कोपरखळी मारत भाऊंसाठी  काहीही करायचं असेल तर हक्काने मला सांगा. मी माझ्यापरीने जितकं करता येईल तितकं करेन, असे आश्वासन यावेळी त्यांनी दिले.

या कार्यक्रमाचे सूत्रसंचालन धनश्री प्रधान- दामले यांनी केले. कार्यक्रमाचे प्रास्ताविक भाऊ साठे यांचे सुपुत्र श्रीरंग साठे यांनी केले तर ऋणानिर्देश भाऊ साठे यांच्या कन्या अल्पना लेले यांनी व्यक्त केले. शिल्पकार भाऊ साठे यांच्या शिल्पांचे प्रदर्शन १९ ऑगस्ट पर्यंत नेहरू सेंटर वरळी येथे सकाळी ११ ते संध्याकाळी ७ या वेळेत सर्वासाठी खुले असणार आहे.

High-octane drama in &TV’s Atal and Bheema

High-octane drama in &TV’s Atal and Bheema

This week, &TV shows Atal and Bheema will engage and entertain the audience with their dramatic tracks. About &TV's Atal, Krishna Devi, played by Neha Joshi, says, "After Atal received support from other parents for attending the exams, the frustrated School Principal discusses about the incident with a British Officer. The British Officer then reveals a cruel plan to the School Principal and Tomar to disrupt Atal and cause chaos in the Mohalla. Sushila, who gets to know about the plan, informs Saraswati that something significant and unfortunate will occur soon. Next morning, Sipahis arrive at the Mohalla and order everyone to evacuate and leave their house as they plan to build a Dak Bangla there. Atal initially questions the Sipahi about the sudden decision, and eventually collects the eviction notices from everyone, burns them, and take a strong stand against the British government’s decision. Meanwhile, Krishna Bihari encourages Atal to attend his school exams. At the school, the officer confronts Atal, and challenges him that he would not find peace and would be left homeless. Later, Tomar asks everyone in the Mohalla to gather outside for an announcement. The British Officer then blames Atal for their situation and warns that they would be forcefully evicted without any compensation if they didn't leave voluntarily within a week."

About &TV's Bheema, Dhaniya, portrayed by Smita Sable, states, "After Bheema takes a strong stand to seek admission in the school, Kailasha Bua and Kalika Singh devise a scheme to lock her and her mother, Dhaniya, and send their henchmen to attack them. However, Bheema’s uncle Chabeela intervenes to help, but ends up facing a serious accusation. Meanwhile, Dhaniya falls unconscious, and Kailasha Bua seizes this chance to strike a deal with Bheema, insisting that Dhaniya will be cared for only if Bheema abandons her challenge and renounces her studies permanently."

Watch Atal at 8:00 pm and Bheema at 8:30 pm, airing every Monday to Friday only on &TV!
