Supriya Pilgaonkar asks parents to get smart!
Supriya Pilgaonkar is still remembered as
the chirpy 'bahu' of yester years' DD show Tu Tu Main Main. But she has
come a long way since then. After her stint on TV in the reality show
Nach Baliye with husband Sachin Pilgaonkar, she won all hearts with her
motherly presence in NDTV Imagine's Radha Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar
Dikhayengi. She is now seen as Manda Deshmukh the typical middle class Maharashtrian housewife of Sachin Deshmukh (Rajesh Shringarpure) in NDTV Imagine's Basera.
Supriya,
herself a mother of a sixteen year old named Shriya, says, "Nowadays
many parents forget to keep a check when they pamper their children.
They go out of their way to fulfill every whim and fancy of their
child. But I would just like to say one thing to parents- "Baccho ko
apne baazuon ka sahara zaroor dijiyega, par apne baazuen nahi. (Do give
your children the support of your shoulder but not your shoulder
entirely)".
The talented actress insists that she took up the
new show Basera as it deals with the problems of senior citizens
especially when their children start considering them as a burden. She
says, "Basera throws light on many heartaches that parents face, once
their children are big enough to fend for themselves. It's common today
in joint families for parents to start feeling lonely because the
children treat them as if they are invisible!"
She further tells
us, "In the show viewers will get to see through the eyes of my
character Manda Deshmukh ' the various troubles faced by parents whose
children don't turn up the right way. Manda is so naive that when she
comes to know of a certain 'shocking truth' , she is not able to digest
it. She can't believe that in spite of the ethics she imbibed into her
children, they grow up to be what they are."
So what message
does Supriya want to give her viewers? She replies, "I would be true to
this role just as in those I've done in the past. And I hope that
through this show children get a proper perspective of things and
develop a healthy mindset."
