Q: Don't you think that you are changing the concept of Marathi films, with
those glamorous roles you have played?
A: I don't think so. I am a simple looking girl. If you feel that wearing these
kind of outfits like jeans and shirts brought me roles, then you maybe right.
Perhaps, that was the requirement of the roles I played.

A: 'Arjun' is a polished film, giving a different look to Marathi cinema. There
has been no compromise on budget. The film has been shot at 52 different and new
locations indoors and outdoors. The songs have been picturised well and the
story is gripping and timely. Above all,

of Arjun. She is always supportive in every act of Arjun.
Q: What is your role in promotion of this film ?
A: I was personally associated with the week long promotion of the film during
Ganapati festival, when I visited with the team to many parts of Maharashtra. We
interacted with many youngsters and they very much liked the concept of this
film.
Q: So, you are confident that the youths in Maharashtra would welcome this film ?
A: Yes, why not? It is their story and the character of Arjun would certainly
inspire them. I am sure, the young generation would love this film. Personally,
I am totally satisfied with its presentation. The entire team has worked very
