Just released... It’s a Marathi song based on Sanjeevani Bokil's poem composed and sung by Smt. Shobha Joshi. I have presented it through my own interpretation describing the emotional turmoil of a woman at the threshold of her menopause. A topic which must be discussed more openly and thoroughly in my opinion. Do like and share the video if you like it.
Special note for my non Marathi friends and followers: Please don't turn away. Abhinaya crosses language barrier and reaches the heart. Please have a look.
Heartfelt thanks to Amod Kulkarni for the background music! Amazing camera work by my student Esha Badhe. Special thanks to dear Sanju tai for making me a part of her project and giving me a chance to delve into this amazing poem.
