It’s said there’s a lull before the storm! If the pretty and hugely talented Anupama Agnihotri is quiet for some time after making her dream Bollywood debut as the leading lady opposite Govinda in noted Producer Pahlaj Nihalani’s movie Rangeela Raja (Incidentally, Nihalani had given Govinda his first break in the movie Ilzam after which Govinda never looked back!), Anupama is actually working on her plans for the next big movie. “Wait for the announcement,” Anupama quips with her infectious smile. In-between she’s also doing modelling shoots, brand promotions et al.

So, how has been Anupama’s career journey so far?

“Well, my career journey so far has been an exciting mix of growth, challenges, and memorable experiences. I started out in modeling, where I worked on various fashion shows and commercial shoots. It helped me build confidence in front of the camera and understand how to express different moods and styles.

From there, I transitioned into acting, which opened up a whole new creative world for me. I’ve taken on roles in films, commercials, and a few stage performances, each of which pushed me to explore new emotions and connect with audiences in deeper ways.

Overall, my journey so far has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m excited for the new opportunities and challenges ahead

So, did Anupama ever expect to make a name in the ever competitive Mumbai?

“No, I never even dreamed that I would come to Mumbai in the first place or work in the film

industry.

What  about Anupama’s early days?Was she interested in acting from her childhood?

“That’s a really interesting way to ask (she smiles)! But to clarify honestly:

Yes, I never had anything like this since childhood. When I came to Mumbai, I did modelling and then I got interested in acting, Anupama said adding, “Writing about childhood memories allows me to relive those moments and appreciate how they’ve influenced my life.”

How did Anupama come to Mumbai?

I came to Mumbai to visit a friend of mine. I really liked Mumbai and it’s safe for girls as compared to the other cities.

Rangeela Raja may have come as a big shocker for  Anupama and that too in a lead role opposite a top-ranking actor like Govinda. Incidentally the producer of Rangeela Raja Pahlaj Nihalani was the person who had given Govinda his first Bollywood break in Ilzam. How did you Anupama get the role.

And what’s Anupama’s strategy to overcome the competion as there are lots of newcomers trying their luck in the film industry?

“Well, well..Since I don’t personally compete, I don’t have a strategy for myself ” Anupama said quickly  adding, “Just focus on continuous learning. To stand out, I believe in constantly improving my craft — whether it’s acting workshops, dance classes, voice training or learning new skills that can add depth to my performances.”

Anupama elaborates practically, “Build strong networking and genuine connections, The film industry runs on relationships.

Stay consistent and patient. Many newcomers give up too early which is not right, said Anupama as she went on to add, “Rejection is part of the journey. Each ‘No’ helps me grow and refine my skills,” said the Atta girl with great conviction.

Let’s find out Anupama’s idol in Bollywood and why?

“My idol in Bollywood is Shah Rukh Khan. I admire him not just for his incredible acting range and iconic performances, but also for his journey — coming from a middle-class background with no film connections, and becoming a global star through sheer hard work, charisma, and intelligence. His ability to reinvent himself and stay relevant over decades is truly inspiring.”

Or, if you prefer a different example:

“I look up to Deepika Padukone because she’s shown remarkable versatility, from intense roles like in Chhapaak to commercial blockbusters.”

What are Anupama’s hobbies? How does she relax herself?

“In my free time, I love reading books and exploring different characters and stories — it helps me grow as an actor. I also enjoy watching old movies and doing yoga, which keeps me fit and helps me relax mentally. Spending time with close friends or going for long walks by the sea always recharges me,” Anupama concluded with a note of positivity and optimism.

Way to go, Anupama..!!

   

Govinda’s Heroine Anupama Agnihotri Ready For Her Next Big Movie!

Poonam Jhawer, who became an overnight sensation with the blockbuster Mohra in the 90s, once won millions of hearts with her innocent charm and sweet smile. Her iconic song “Na Kajre Ki Dhar” still tops romantic playlists even today.

But recently, when she was spotted at Mumbai Airport, the scene was completely different. Dressed in a glamorous outfit, flaunting a fit body and exuding unshakable confidence, she left everyone stunned. On social media, one fan asked, “Is this the same simple saree girl from Mohra?” while another teased, “She’s now the queen of hotness!”

What’s most impressive is that her stunning look isn’t the result of cosmetic surgery or filters—it’s all thanks to her hard work, fitness, and positive energy. A fan even commented, “Looking this hot without surgery is no joke—Poonam Jhawer is truly the epitome of natural beauty.”

Once again, Poonam Jhawer has proven that age is just a number, but style and charm are forever. And if she makes a comeback on the big screen in this glamorous avatar, Bollywood is sure to witness a new storm of hotness.

Educational Hub Awards 2025 – Krishna Theme Inspires Young Minds

Mumbai. Recently, social worker and founder of Maharani organization Mohan Nair staged the play Bhasmanchal at Vishnudas Bhave Natyagruh Vashi, Navi Mumbai.

The play Bhasmanchal focuses on the way children are currently behaving with their parents. An attempt is being made to bring awareness among the youth through this play.

On the occasion of the staging of the play, many special guests including Bollywood musician Dilip Sen, actress Mahi Sharma (Kumkum Bhagya and Prithviraj Chauhan show fame), Shivaji Agyan Shendge, Shiv Sena Shikshak Sena Maharashtra Rajya Sarchitnis, social worker Simi Nair were present.

The concept of the play is of Mohan Nair and he has written the script and the director is Harshal Rane.

Mohan Nair said that parents send their children out of the country for higher education, due to which their culture changes. Children get lost in a life of luxury. Their feelings for their parents become zero and finally they are sent to old age homes.

Mohan Nair said that we also run an old age home and keep inspecting it from time to time.

Music director Dilip Sen said that it is necessary to give values to children from childhood. They should be brought up according to our culture and taught manners.

In today’s time, first of all, children should be controlled. Support of parents is necessary but there should be a limit to the freedom given. Those children who go out and settle down in their own world forgetting the love of their parents, they should think that one day we will also become parents and we may see such a day in the future.

When the mother-in-law of this play Nana Kamble passed away, he came on stage and acted and later went home.

Dilip Sen praised Mohan Nair’s charitable work and congratulated him for preparing an inspiring play for the youth and said that he would gift a song and music for this play.

This play will be staged for the public on September 5 at Vishnudas Bhave Natyagruh Vashi, Navi Mumbai. This play includes various colors of life including emotion, drama, dance.

Let us tell you that Maharani Sangathan has renovated the old age home and this organization is engaged in serving the destitute elderly.

More than 500 volunteers of this organization are actively working all over India. The volunteers of the organization go to the old age home and do service work, take care of the elderly and prepare various types of dishes for them.

She neither wears a crown nor sits on the throne, but she is – and will always be – Maharani. She is our mother, Amma, Ammi, Aai — the woman who gave us life, nurtured us and shaped our personalities. Yet, when her steps slow and her needs become soft, society turns its back. Today she is in an old age home — not by choice, but by circumstance.

Maharani is not just a name — it is a movement, a spirit, a tribute to every forgotten mother.

Mr. Mohan Nair, after suffering the pain of personal loss and seeing the suffering of mothers in old age homes, founded Maharani.

What began as an emotional response has today become a growing force. With a core team of 20 dedicated people and the passion of 500+ youth across the country, Maharani is relentlessly working to transform the lives of elderly women and orphans — not with pity, but with respect, love and joy.

From improving living facilities to skill training, fulfilling the desire to visit temples to enjoying the food of one’s liking – Maharani’s work is holistic and from the heart. Moments of joy in orphanages, medical assistance, emotional support and building sustainable communities are its soul.

To expand this objective and to ignite deep discussions in society, Mr. Mohan Nair, a literary and theatre personality, presents “Bhasmanchal” – a soul-stirring play that highlights the lives of abandoned elderly mothers.

The grand premiere of the play will be on Monday, 25th August 2025, at 8:00 pm, at Vishnudas Bhave Natyagruha, Vashi.

The Chief Guest on the occasion will be Mr. Shivaji Shinge, and eminent dancers and social workers Simi Nair, Mahi Sharma, Dilip Sen and many other dignitaries.

“Bhasmanchal” is not just a play – it is a call to awaken the soul. Every ticket, every applause, every support — directly fuels Maharani’s mission — to restore dignity, care and purpose in life to abandoned mothers and orphaned children.
