We have noticed her talent in Marathi and Hindi serials, since 2011. Last year, she also made her debut in Marathi films, opposite Rajesh Shringarpure. She already has two films in hand; but now she will be seen in Devendra Pem’s play ‘All The Best -2′, which will be launched on 1st May 2015 .
27 year old Khushboo Tawde from Dombivali, is certainly a bright prospect in Marathi entertainment industry, having already won Mata Sanmaan in 2013 and recently, the Dadasaheb Phalke Foundation Puraskar for ‘Best actress on debut’ in Marathi films of 2014.
We have seen Khushboo in the lead, in two Marathi serials ‘Dharmakanya’ and ‘Ek Mohor Abol’; but she has also performed in Hindi television with famous serials like ‘Betaal aur Sinhasan Battisi’ & ‘Tarak Mehta ka Oolta Chashma’, offering variety.
Marathi Movie World spoke to this talented actress. Excerpts from an interview:
Q. Tell us about your background and how you landed in acting?
A. I’m a graduate in hotel management and have done my B.Sc. To be frank, I had never thought about acting. I haven’t even participated in drama competitions, during my college days; but, as we know, it was all my destiny.
Q. Why you were not seen in Marathi Television for long time?
A. From the beginning of my career, I have given preference to variety of roles. I was not interested to do similar type of roles again. I consider Marathi theatre, as the base of acting. I was also waiting to work in a good commercial play. Fortunately, I got an opportunity to do theatre. Now, I’m playing lead role, in Devendra Pem’s commercial Marathi play ‘All the Best 2′; which is a sequel to super duper hit play ‘All the Best’. And, I’m very excited about it.
Q. Last year, you made your debut on big screen with ‘Love Factor’. What about your other ongoing film projects?
A. Thanks to those filmmakers, who have given me an opportunity. Recently, I completed two Marathi films, ‘Chandri’ which is a different genre horror film and ‘Olakh’ which is based on a social issue. In coming months, theses films will be released back to back. Looking forward to audience reaction, on my performance.
Q. But, how was your experience?
A. It was very good learning experience, while doing rehearsals with Devendra Pem and all team members of ‘All the Best-2′. We had a great time. I think, this play will be surely rock, as the previous one did; and create another record on Marathi stage.
Q. Have you taken any training for acting?
A. No. But my idol is Smita Patil. I’m a die hard fan of her. She was really a gem of Indian cinema. We can’t compare anybody with her. I respect her acting a lot.
Q. What is your comment of current Marathi Cinema?
A. I really feel proud and happy that our Marathi films are getting maximum national awards.
Q. How was your experience working in Hindi?
A. Major difference is that, once you get a break on hindi television, you receive name & fame at national level. That is the major difference.
