Besides being a prominent actor in the Marathi Industry you have been part of various Bollywood projects as well, tell us about your experience, and did you ever feel any difference?
Ms. Sai Tamhankar
I think apart from the scale, there is no major difference, the effort to get in the character remains the same, the professionalism remains the same, and also both industries have fantastic people to work with, also I feel the boundaries among various language-based entertainment portals are now blurring and this is giving actors like me more opportunities to showcase our work and expand our horizon which is very helpful, so all in all the journey has been amazing so far and I can’t wait to witness the rest!

With OTT being the big thing now, what are the kinds of projects you would like to be part of? Your favorite genre of work?
Ms. Sai Tamhankar
ACTION is something I have always had an eye for! Being a tomboy trapped in a girl’s body. Besides that I would love to invent new genres from my side as well, and also I have been working on some amazing projects which are set to release soon on OTT. Would love to be part of period drama, comedy hasn’t explored them yet so.

Being on the Cover of Women Fitness India, how would you define fitness for our readers? Also, you are an orange belt in Kabaddi, do share your experience with that too?
Ms. Sai Tamhankar
For me, fitness is something that is linked to your mind, so it’s very essential to be fit mentally and physically. I define fitness not only by hitting the gym but to be fit and happy with oneself. I don’t crave or drive myself off anything, I eat everything and burn those calories, be it a dessert or carbs, I eat it all.
Also from my point of view fitness has a mind-body connection so it’s very important to be fit mentally, be in a good mental space, and keep your mind full of positive thoughts, hope, and goals. So that is how I define fitness, also I would like to highlight that “fitness” and “your weight” are two different things and they are not related. We have been living in an era where there are unrealistic body standards and it’s high time we get real and not be affected or bothered by these.
I love to work out, I do cardio, and weight training, and when I was in school I used to play Kabaddi and Karate, sports is something that teaches you how to deal with your loss and wins, so that has taught me a lot now I deal my sorrows just as deal my happiness!
