Ever since the talented marathi actress made her appearance on small screen, she has grabbed the attention of viewers with her performance and looks. Recently, Saii played the lead in E-tv’s ‘Kasturi’and was doing very well, but the serial stopped its telecast mid way, without specifying any reasons. This must have caused a great disappointment to an actress of her caliber.
But, as someone has rightly said, “Our opportunities to do good are our talents.”. Saii has made a quick comeback through an ongoing serial ‘Tujhe Ni Majha Ghat Shrimantacha’ .She is playing the girl friend of youngest grandson of Ramesh Deo’s family. Let us wait and see, whether her entry proves lucky to increase the popularity of the serial.

Q: How do we spell your name ? Is it Sai or Saee?
A: It is Saii. Saii Ranade -Sane.

Q: How did Saii land into this field of acting ?
A: Since my childhood, I was interested in acting. And, to take the first step in acting, I joined Bharat Natyam Classes while I was studying in Vimlabai Garware school, Pune. When I was in 10th standard, I won Sadhna Puraskar at Kalavardhini Group, from among 45 students. While in Fergusson College, I started taking interest in stage. Later, I joined Satyadev Dube’s 15 day acting workshop in Pune and also performed in an experimental play ‘Aatlya-sahit Manus’. This performance actually brought a lot of development in me from the acting point of view. I used to do modeling for print media those days and then started giving auditions to find suitable role in a TV serial . Initially, there was a lot of disappointment, but during one such visit to Mumbai, I was informed that my selection was made for the role of Janaki Kirloskar in ‘Vahinisaheb’. They informed me late night at 11.30 pm and I was asked to rush to Mumbai, next day morning.

Q: How was your experience working for the first time on the sets of a TV serial ?
A: Thought I was playing a negative type of role in ‘Vahinisaheb’, I enjoyed it as an actress. It was on the sets of this serial that I could get so many experiences that a newcomer faces with senior artistes. Still, I was happy, as I got the recognition through this serial. I used to live in Thane those days with our relatives and later shifted to Vile Parle as paying guest for convenience of shooting, as I received another offer to play a negative role in ‘Kulavadhu’. Living alone in Mumbai and to manage everything on your own was difficult initially for a girl like me, who was brought up in a family with lots of love and affection. But, I managed it well.

Q: Did you find your life partner almost during this period? Tell us something about that relationship.
A: While I lived in Thane, Salil Sane lived in the neighborhood. I knew him through my relatives. I also happened to interact with him on Orkut network. We found each other on the same wavelength, as we found a lot of time to move together. That time I only had one serial in hand. Later, our friendship turned into marriage, while I was doing Kulvadhu’ serial.

Q: After being typecast in negative roles, how were you selected for the role of ‘Kasturi‘ ?
A: Actually, I didn’t want to be typecast into negative roles and made up my mind to give a full stop to such offers. I was confident that one day I would be offered a suitable role and kept trying for the same . And, one day the makers of ‘Kasturi‘ told me that I was selected for this role.

Q: After ‘Kasturi‘ what next ?
A: There are many other projects I am involved in. There is a film titled ‘Bandya aani Baby’ in which I am playing lead opposite Prasad Oak. In between, I have done many films in guest appearance. You will also see me in Swapnil Bandodkar Music Video album ‘Tichya Dolyat…’
