It may be recalled that four years ago, Savaniee celebrated her birthday with the children suffering from Cancer in Mumbai.
Speaking about her unique way of celebrating birthday, Savaniee says, “I never believed in celebrating my birthdays by throwing away parties and accepting gifts. I always felt that on my birthday, I should bring smile on someone who really deserves a gift. And when I made a beginning, I continued with this practice till now. It really makes me happy too.” Then narrating her experience of being with such children, she added, “Actually, I had come to meet these children to give them a surprise.

After television Gayatri Datar to experience theatre
Gayatri Datar who made her dream come true by performing with actor Subodh Bhave in popular TV serial ‘Tula Pahate Re’, will now experience Marathi theatre, by performing in Children’s play ‘Nimma Shimma Rakshas’ to be directed by Chinmay Mandlekar. This hit play of yesteryear, written by Ratnakar Matkari has already received overwhelming response in the past, ever since the writer wrote this wonderful play in 1963.
It may be recalled that Gayatri who played the lead role of Isha in ‘Tula Pahate re’ was a child, when she received a prize at the hands of actor Subodh Bhave some years ago. And at that time, she had expressed her desire that one day she would act with him. Now that this serial has come to an end, Isha has a lot of time to devote herself for this Marathi play and she is expected to attract the little ones for her play. Isha who has also experienced big screen, having performed in Ajinkya Lokhande’s Marathi short film ‘Intolerence’ is also excited to perform on stage, which she feels is also an important medium of entertainment.
“Takatak has given me new identity” – says Prathamesh Parab
Some artistes become popular with the name of important character played by them in the film. After the release of the film ‘Balak Palak’, Prathamesh Parab was identified with his character name of Vishu in this film. Later, when he did the film ‘Timepass’ he received the identity of Dagadu , the lead character played by him in this film. But now, after the release of his latest film ‘Takatak’, he has received his new identity as ‘Thokya’, which is an important character in this film, though it is not the lead role.
This clearly indicates that Prathamesh has played this character in such a way that wherever he has gone after the release of this film, he has been called with the name ‘Thokya’. Speaking about this new identity, Prathamesh says, “Whether it is Vishu, Dagadu or Thokya, the credit for these roles go to writers and directors of these three films. All the youngsters feel that they should have a friend like ‘Thokya’ played by me in this film. And this is a good compliment for this character. Actually, Thokya is the real hero of this film, but he has not behaved like a hero through this character and that is the reason behind this character’s popularity.”
