This year, the Bhetli Tu Punha (2017) actor celebrated her birthday at home. An otherwise workaholic, Pooja Sawant enjoyed some family time on her birthday after a long time. \u201cI love working on my birthdays. However, this year, my shoot team got to know of my birthday and gave me the day off. They almost forced me to rest it out,\u201d smiles Pooja, who has won The Golden Calton award for Best Performance in a Lead Role for her film Lapachapi at Edinburgh film festival, 2017.<\/p>\n
Religiously, every year, on her birthday, Pooja\u2019s mom performs the aukshan and prepares her favourite food. \u201cMy mom is very particular about the ritual and it is okay if we don\u2019t cut a cake, but the aukshan has to happen. My mom makes excellent sweetmeats and I am particular fond of pooran poli. She also makes snacks such as pani puri for me.\u201d Recalling a memorable birthday, Pooja adds, \u201cLast year, my sister arranged a surprise birthday party for me. It was a first and I was thrilled to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Poshter Boyz (2014) actor loves the way the Marathi film industry operates like one big extended family. She says, \u201cNo matter who the co-actor, producer or director is, the vibe on the sets is always positive and familiar. It is like one family. You just cannot have a straight professional relationship as the ties get stronger and everyone becomes family-like.\u201d<\/p>\n
This being said, Pooja feels the industry needs to work together on movie release clashes. \u201cIt is unfortunate that four films get released on a single day. The market of the Marathi industry is very niche, so in that if you have four films releasing together, you lose out on audience. We need to change this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
