And, we observed that it’s woman power everywhere, be it Marathi stage, TV serials or films. They are in the forefront not only to entertain the audience but also prove their ability in different fields, such as acting, production, direction, costume designing, lyrics, music and so on.

To name a few, Mukta Barve in Code Mantra, Spruha Joshi in ‘Don’t Worry Be Happy‘, Leena Bhagwat in ‘Ke Dil Abhi Bhara Nahin‘ Reshma Ramchandra in ‘Chhada’ and so on.
On the small screen we find Mrunal Dusanis (Assa Sasar Surekh Bai), Akshaya Deodhar ( Tujhyat Jeev Rangala) , Mayuri Deshmukh ( Khulta Kali Khulena) have set some ideals before the audience, through their respective characters.

Title songs of almost all the serials have domination of female singers. Moreover, when we visit the sets, we find many women associated with production and technical work, which is highly appreciated.
