“While sharing your happiness with the world, you should keep something for yourself as well”
The bellow are the highlights of the Interview with the Insights Success a business journal Read on further to get a sneak-peek at Nishigandha Wad’s behind-the-screen story.
From facing challenges to making mark
“I want to do something splendid before I go into my castle, something heroic or wonderful that won’t be forgotten after I’m dead. I don’t know what, but I’m on the watch for it, and mean to astonish you all someday.” Just like Jo March from Little Women, Nishigandha Wad as well has astonished the generations with her eminent persona on-screen.
But this success hasn’t come easily to her. “Training at an acting school under the legendary Satyadev Dubey, Arvind Deshpande, Sulabha Deshpande, and Jaydev Hattangadi was another thing.” Nishigandha said, “But when I first set foot alongside veterans in professional Marathi theatre it took me a long time to see myself from my soul sight. Like any other freshman, I was grasped with worries about what others and the audience will think about me.” “But ease comes with experience.” She advised.
Not only in the acting school or while working in theatre or films, but a true artist is nurtured outside as well. The stories they read, hear, and live have a huge impact on how the actor is shaped, how strong their roots become. Talking about which, Nishigandha shared fond memories of her childhood, “I grew up listening to the stories of legends like Geeta Bali and Meena Kumari from Kidar Sharma who was my uncle’s neighbor.”
