Sai Tamhankar on playing Mangal in Marathi film Adkitta

Actress Sai Tamhankar is in the news these days for a special role in her upcoming Marathi film Adkitta. She plays an important character in the film, which raises sensitive issues such as motherly affection, emotional attachment and making the right decision for a child. During the film's promotions, Sai spoke openly about her experience playing the role and how it changed her perspective.

In Adkitta, Sai Tamhankar shares the screen with Siddharth and Sakhi. Speaking about the on-screen chemistry among the three actors central to the film's conflict, Sai said that exchanging creative ideas with each other was an important part of the entire process.

Working with Sakhi for the first time was a very pleasant experience for Sai. She has worked with Siddharth several times before. Watching the way Siddharth played his character, both as a friend and a co-star, was a special experience for her. Sai described the experience of working with her co-stars simply as "joy".

After playing the role of Mangal in Adkitta, Sai's outlook on the world of nannies also changed. Becoming part of a family and helping shape that family's future is a huge responsibility, something she came to feel closely through this role.

A nanny's work is often seen merely as a job. But in reality, they play a big role in raising a family's children and shaping their future, Sai realised through this character. She also said that people often forget to be grateful for this.

The role of Mangal also gave Sai a chance to think closely about the challenges faced by a young working mother. As an independent woman, she felt through this role the dilemma that arises while balancing work, family and children's needs.

Sai said she realised through this character how difficult and challenging this entire process can be. She also made clear that some lessons from this experience will help her in her work going forward if needed.

Sai also shared her thoughts on what audiences should feel after watching Adkitta. According to her, it is a sweet and relatable film. Many young couples in particular may find the story's situations and emotional aspects connected to their own lives.

Sai believes the film's special quality is that it could feel just as relatable even ten years from now. The film is releasing on the OTT platform ZEE5, which she is happy will widen its reach to audiences in different parts of the world.
