Q: The first look of your forthcoming film ‘Sindhutai Sapkal’ was recently witnessed at the Berlin film festival. How do you recollect those memorable moments ?
A: I was under tremendous pressure. Actually, the writer and director of this film had seen my performance in ‘Wavtal’ and being fair and blue eyed, I was preferred for this role. Later, they wanted to shoot few scenes on me and asked me to get ready for those scenes, where my performance was closely observed. One of the scenes came so natural that even the director was in tears. He complimented me and it was only then I felt relaxed. I am sure that this film would deliver the best presentation.
Q: What type of roles you intend to play in future ?
A: In most of my forthcoming films, whether it is ‘Sindhutai’, ‘Ranbhool’ or ‘Target’, I am playing different characters. From my side, I am trying to be different; but it is my wish to play the kind of roles that Urmila Matondkar played in her films. I specially liked her role in ‘Ek Hasina Thi’ and would really enjoy playing such a type of role.
Q: As an actress where will Tejaswini be within 3-4 years from now ?
A: Whatever I aimed for in this industry, surely I will be able to reach to that level. This is possible, because whatever roles come to me I consider them to be meant only for me. Take for example the roles offered to Amruta or Sonalee. They are only meant for them. Hence, my competition is not with them but with my own self. Fortunately, the roles coming to me now are women oriented central characters, which itself is a plus point. I am only trying to give my 100%. One more thing I would like to add here that after 3-4 years, even if I am married, I shall remain the same –the mischievous Tejaswini, as you see her today.
Q: In your next film ‘Sindhutai’ you are performing along with your mother. Isn’t that a great moment ?
A: The role that I am playing in this film ( as young Sindhutai) will actually be carried forward by my mother playing the present day Sindhutai. Actually, I had performed with my mother in the past in a play. When the same play was revived, I played the role she used to play and she played the role of my Boss. Later, this TV serial ‘Tujha Ni Majha Ghar Shrimantacha’, brought us together. To be very honest, my mother is like an acting school. There is always some pressure while working with her, but I get full satisfaction while she is around.
Q: In your recently released film ‘Wavtal’ you are shown as an oppressed woman most of the time. Don’t you think that Rehmat Khan’s character should have reappeared to show him getting killed at the hands of K-5 in your presence, to give justice to your character?
A: No, I don’t think so. Instead of finishing off the criminal in a man, the attitude needs to be changed. Only then a woman can live safely.
