Till last year, we knew her as popular television actress Deepti Shrikant Devi, who found place in the hearts of many television serial lovers, in Marathi as well as Hindi. But, ever since she changed her name to Deepti Devi, it has turned out to be lucky for her, to find lead roles in films.

Now, Deepti Devi has  not only found a prominent lead role through this Marathi film ‘Conditions Apply’, but has also found a creative director like Girish Mohite to exploit her acting potential on big screen.  Met Deepti during the press meet arranged by the makers of this film, to introduce the artistes of this film, besides unveiling the first look of the film. Dressed in white designer wear, she looked gorgeous with her charming smile, which added radiance to her slim and fit looks.

Excerpts from an exclusive interview :

Q: Tell us something about your educational background.
A: I have done my M.Com. and also done specialisation in graphic designing.

Q: How your specialisation in Graphic designing is helping you in your acting career ?
A: Well, it helps me in my creative thinking even in this field.

Q:  We understand that  this is a big opportunity for you in this film. Can we call this role of Radio Jockey, a major breakthrough in your acting career?
A: I wouldn’t say so, as it will be like giving a full stop to other characters played by me so far. Instead, I would say that it was a big opportunity for me, as far as the big screen is concerned. I would like to call it a turning point, which is more challenging.

Q: So, you feel that Films are going to help you a lot in exploiting your potential?
A: I feel that our Marathi films are known for good content, offering more scope for the artistes. Their visuals are strong and highly creative. In short, working in Films, is like exploring myself .

Q: How did you prepare yourself to play the character of Radio Jockey Swara Haldankar, in this film?
A:  Actually, this type of role needs lot of energy and therefore it was more challenging to perform this character. Script was not given to me. The director wanted every reaction from me to come spontaneously.  So,  I used to hear RJ Shonali of Radio City, before preparing for this role; but, did not copy her.

 Q: We understand that ‘Conditions Apply’ is also a love story of a young couple almost on the lines of the current trend set by few films released in the recent past. What do you think?

A: I feel that every writer or  director has to convey his subject in a different way. When you watch this film, you will notice the difference.

 Q: Do you yourself believe in ‘Live in relationship’ or ‘Proper Marriage’?
A: ‘Marriage’.

Many a times, the makers of a particular film arrange a press conference, by traditionally welcoming the media persons and introducing their artistes to them who generally are seated on a dais. But, producer Dr.Sandeh Mhatre and director Girish Mohite thought it the other way. Today afternoon they preferred to sit among the media persons and faced them through direct interaction and this helped to understand the viewpoints of each one of them about this film suitably titled ‘Conditions Apply’.

And, this idea of interaction created the much required humor, instead of the routine boring function. So, after Girish Mohite briefed about the idea of making this film, written by Sanjay Pawar, he opened the debate to involve his team members comprising of lead pair Subodh Bhave, Deepti Devi, Radhika Vidyasagar, Milind Phatak, Dr.Utkarsha Naik and Vineet Sharma, who were present. They were later joined by the producer of this film.

Though the film is based on ‘Live in Relationship’ , director Girish Mohite explained as to why his lead characters had opted to prefer this lifestyle. But, as the media persons suggested that each one of them should speak on what they themselves in real life felt, about ‘Proper Marriage  or Live in relationship’, most of them, including Girish Mohite and Subodh Bhave  were frank enough to admit, how the proper marriage had helped them in their own lives.  Actress Deepti Devi also opted for ‘marriage’ over ‘Live in relationship’, when she was asked to choose one of them.

Renowned Hindi TV actress Dr. Utkarsha Naik,  who is playing an important role in this film, confessed  that she and her actor husband had to remain in ‘Live in Relationship’ at least for one and a half year in the process of settling down in their life and then got married and are living happily for the past twenty years.  Only person, who slightly differed his views was Vineet Sharma. He narrated his own story. Vineet said that after marriage, he separated from his wife, as they could not get along with eachother, in spite of being good friends. But, later preferred to live with the same wife in ‘Live in relationship’reaching an understanding between both of them and their near and dear ones.  The remaining three important artistes, Atul Parchure, Rajan Tamhane & Atisha Naik could not attend this interesting press interaction.

In short, it was a good interaction, with some good humor exchanged by Subodh Bhave, when he was asked as to why he could not avoid release of both his films ‘Conditions Apply’ and ‘Hridayantar’ on the same day? With his presence of mind, he said, “Sometimes it is not in our hands, to stop such happenings. Can a mother prevent birth of twins? By the way, both these films have different subjects and should be welcomed by the Marathi film lovers.” The interaction concluded with the team requesting one and all to watch this film.
