Sarika's childhood was surrounded by many problems, her father left the family when she was very young and hence she was not able to go to school, she had to become the head of the family and the earning member.
Sarika has been one of the most progressive actresses of her time. She spent about 16 years with Kamal Haasan. Both married in the year 1988 after the birth of their first daughter Shruti and their second daughter Akshara was born in the year 1991, but in 2004 Sarika decided to separate from Kamal Haasan.
Sarika's childhood was surrounded by many problems, her father left the family when she was very young and hence she was not able to go to school, she had to become the head of the family and the earning member. This was the reason that she started her acting career as a child actress at the age of 4. Later, she acted in several Hindi and Marathi films with Rajshree Productions and with the famous actor Sachin. When she was at the height of her marriage, she left her acting career and moved to Chennai with her husband.
In the year 2000, she won the National Film Award for Best Costume Design for the film Hey Ram and the National Film Award for Best Actress for her performance in the film Parzania. Sarika's beauty and acting had made every producer-director her favorite.
There were many ups and downs in the personal life of such a successful actress, but she faced them with courage. She had to wait for many years due to covid and not getting some good projects, she worked in theater due to financial constraints during the lockdown and ran her house, she is a spontaneous and cheerful person. Now her film 'Unchai' is on release, produced by Rajshree Production. This film is very emotional and narrates a deep friendship. It is a good thing for her to be associated with Rajshree once again,
Easy to join
Re-associating with Rajshree Production after years has been a good thing for Sarika, she says that earlier when she used to work, there was an association with every production house, but joining Rajshree was a different experience. Directing director Sooraj Barjatya and participating in a good story is the happiest thing for me. In this, I play Mala Trivedi, an independent woman who runs a business with family and connects with friends in a special moment.
Right story right emotion
It was not easy for Sarika to go to such a height and shoot in such cold. The shooting of film has been shot at an altitude of 13 thousand feet in Nepal, which was a lot of fun to do. She says it was a one-month schedule, running up and down, working on the go, with a unit of about 300 people that was physically demanding but didn't feel like ending it early and going home. The reason for not coming here with such a feeling is to work with an interesting artist, the body used to get tired, but the emotion never diminished.
New job new challenge
Sarika further says that even after working for so many years, I always have the desire to do something new. Forgetting what I have done earlier, there is always a desire to do something new. I never want to remember the old things, because you can't connect with the new generation, for this, I have to keep working so that today's new kids know, Actress Sarika is also an actress who does good acting and that is my achievement. Is.
Azadi in filmmaking
Regarding the change in the industry, actress Sarika says that if you look at the change, today the way of telling the story has changed a lot, now there is freedom in filmmaking, which was not there earlier, there has been a change in the structure. Due to the freedom in everything from films to web series, and TV shows, the exposure of world cinema has become very high. Earlier some directors used to go out and watch foreign films at festivals, now that is not the case. Now everyone is familiar with world cinema. Filmmakers today are constantly trying to present the best films to the audience. Society has also changed a lot. Her reflection also comes in films. Although the films are fictional, they are also taken from the surrounding reality. Its creation is also done based on these. Apart from this, technology is also being used a lot today. Creativity has increased a lot, everyone has got an opening. Everyone is getting a chance to show their skills. This is the best time in the entertainment industry.
The talented artist got a chance
The old and legendary actors are now able to do better work than before because OTT has allowed them to do something different or to play the role that they could not play to date. Recalling the old days, Sarika says that initially when Color TV came, all the viewers wanted to see something good, which Govind Nihalani's Tamas, Satyajit Ray's film would come, but it did not happen and TV went in another direction. I went. After the arrival of OTT, the pressure of box office collection or theater filling was not on the producer or director. In such a situation, the producer, and director cast only those artists who were right, the work came out from the heart and the art of many such artists came out, whom no one knew. Now there is no difference of any kind in the quality of cinema.
Easy to work with new artists
Asked about the experience of working with new artists, Sarika laughs and says that it is good to work with a new artist because along with learning new things, they get a lot of respect because sometimes working with old artists is difficult. It is painful to do. One should work with a true artist, I like that, if the artist is working in front of him, then the intoxication of the work is something else. My track is with Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, and Boman Irani, which I enjoyed a lot. I always love to interact with my co-star. Scenes keep coming one after the other, I love such acting. All three are very funny.
Fitness mantra
The beautiful Sarika wants to meet two good people in her daily routine so that her mind will be happy. Apart from taking special care of food and drink, she follows a regular fitness regime. Regarding the good upbringing of children, Sarika tells that when children are small, they are taught their rituals and lessons, but when they grow up, their personality starts emerging. It is different for every person and it should not be like us. If today both my daughters, Shruti Haasan and Akshara Haasan are doing good work, then it is their credit. Works hard, and is strong. I want them to do well in the future as well.
