Sanskruti Balgude is yet to come out of her character in ‘Damlelya Babachi Kahani’
Many times a particular artiste gets so much involved with his or her character, that it takes a long time for that artiste, to come out of that character. This has happened with popular Marathi film and TV actress Sanskruti Balgude. It may be recalled that few years ago, when Sanskruti Balgude performed in popular serial ‘Pinjara‘ . It was very difficult for Sanskruti to come out of the character of Anandi , as even after the show was over, she was recognized as Anandi.
Sanskruti hasn’t had much success with few films she did later. But, her dancing skills are known to all, when she performs at most of the popular award events. Now, her next Marathi film ‘Damlelya Babachi Kahani‘ is all set to release on 24th June and Sanskruti is eagerly waiting for this film’s release. Recently, when we met her, we did talk about her role in this film. And, the talented actress said that she was yet to come out of the character played by her in this film, though the shooting of the film got over long back. “It’s such an emotion filled role,” she said. By the way, her film ‘Bhay‘ is also due for release. There are three more films, she is doing and they are ‘Nivadung‘ and Mahesh Manjrekar’s ‘Friends Unlimited’. But, she doesn’t want say much about her third film right now.
Team of ‘Damalelya Babachi Kahani’ promise a sensible subject
Nitin Chavan has been associated with Marathi stage for the past several years in Pune. Now, he has turned a film maker, with his forthcoming Marathi film ‘Damlelya Babachi Kahani‘ . He has not only produced this film along with Vishal Dhanavade, but has also directed it along with Yogesh Jadhav. On Monday evening, he unveiled the first look of his film along with the most important song of father and daughter emotional bonding, on which the film is based.
Apart from makers of this film, the lead important artistes of this film, Sandeep Khare, Sanskruti Balgude, Deepti Bhagwat, child artiste Shreya Pasalkar & Astaad Kale were also present. Nitin Chavan who has himself written the script of this film, explained as to how he was inspired to make this film, after watching the injustice on young girls in our country. “I have specifically presented the concern of the young girl’s father, who most of the time thinks about the safety of his daughter. At the same time, I have tried to present the feelings of the daughter for her father, who has formed an opinion about him, that her father is the World’s greatest father,” he added.
The first look and the song video, clearly suggest that the makers of this film and the lead artistes, especially Sandeep Khare, Sanskruti Balgude, Deepti Bhagwat and Aastaad Kale are likely to touch the hears of the Marathi audience, with their emotion filled characters in this film. They promise a sensible subject through their film. Being a family social film, ‘Damlelya Babachi Kahani‘ film has already invited the attention of critics at various international film festivals.

“Offer from ‘Pinjara’ was my best birthday gift” – Sanskruti Balgude
Last year around the same time, a young 18 year old girl made an entry through a lead role on Marathi television. Today, her character of Anandi is more popular than her original name. Sankruti Balgude, the second year S. P. College student from Pune, will be celebrating completion of one year as a TV actress this month. Marathi Movie World spoke to this talented hard working dancing star. Excerpts from an interview :
Q: Tell us something about yourself and your association with this glamour world ?
A: Ever since I was seven years old and studying in Pune’s Symbiosis Secondary School, I was passionate about dancing. I have passed four exams in Bharat natyam from Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, Pune. Thereafter gave dance performances including Arangetram. When I joined Pune’s S.P. College, I started taking part in various competitions. I have performed dance shows in Switzerland, Mauritius and France. At present, I am studying my second year in college.
Q: But, how come while dancing, you switched over to acting ?
A: While studying in 11th standard, I was watching my seniors Siddharth Chandekar and Mrunmayee Deshpande. I used to admire them being my seniors and watching them perform, inspired me towards acting. Somewhere inside I felt that I could act. Thereafter, I started giving auditions. I was confident that the main requirement for being an actress was dance and I was good at that.
Q: You mean, to play Anandi’s role, you got selected because you were a dancer too ?
A: Yes. During my first year in college, I came to know about the audition for this serial. They had specifically mentioned that they needed an actress, who could dance. I felt, my selection for this role was mainly because I knew dance well.
Q: How much do you enjoy being a part of this serial ?
A: It’s great! This 17th January, the serial will complete one year. But, I don’t know, how the time flew so fast. I can still remember that day, just a day before my 18th birthday in December 2010. That evening, I received the confirmation about my selection for the role of Anandi. I think, it was the best birthday gift for me. I am really thankful to Zee Marathi and makers of Pinjara. I am also thankful to all the artistes, who helped me to improvise on my acting, as till then, I never knew much about acting. Now, whatever compliments I receive for my acting, the credit goes to all those artistes who helped me on the sets.
Q: What you have to say about the similarities between the character of Anandi and yourself ?
A: Anandi is very sweet in nature. In fact, she is too good. She does not understand, how people around her are taking advantage of her good nature. Anandi is passionate about acting and is melo melo.., soft soft type. In comparison, I am also passionate about dancing and very loving are caring too. Like Anandi, I am little bit shy; but not as much as Anandi.
Q: Recently, ‘Pinjara’ won the Zee family award. How do you react to that ?
A: I am proud to be a part of this serial, which not only received maximum nominations, but also bagged 7 awards. All this was possible because of best direction and best performances from all artistes. But, our technical team right from the Production manager to costume designer and hair stylist also to be thanked for this success. I am glad that this being my debut, the audience accepted me and that itself is a great moment for me.
Q: Anything in particular about the producer and director ?
A: Mr. Rakesh Sarang is a very strict person, as far as discipline is concerned. While he is on the sets, I don’t dare to face him. But, otherwise he is a very sweet person. Always enquires about everyone present on the sets. I respect him a lot and admire his work behind camera and direction. Now, few words about my director – Girish Vasaikar. What Anandi is today, is all because of his efforts. He has handled us very patiently. He made the pair of Veer and Anandi popular among the audience. According to me, he is the best director.
Q: What is your priority now ? Dancing or acting ?
A: At present myself and my character of Anandi have both taken a back seat for dancing. Therefore, whenever I get an opportunity to perform dance, I accept the same. Dance is my thirst and acting comes next. But, at present, I am giving equal importance to acting.
Q: What more, besides your present role of Anandi ?
A: I had offers from films. But, I am tied up with dates for this serial. So, at present, it is only ‘Pinjara’ for me.
