Actress Nehha Pendse on Breaking Roles & Audience Support

Actress Nehha Pendse recently visited Goa for the Goa Marathi Film Festival, where her film "Tighee" was screened. She expressed a deep fondness for Goa, appreciating its quiet beaches and charming narrow lanes, finding a unique sense of peace there, especially after spending time during the Covid lockdown. Pendse noted that while the Marathi film industry is rich in talent and stories, a significant challenge lies in drawing audiences to theaters.

She emphasized that ensuring meaningful cinema reaches its intended audience is paramount. Pendse, who has worked in both Marathi and Bollywood films, sees no distinction between the two industries, praising the innovative storytelling in both. Her recent role in "Tighee" alongside her comedy work has encouraged her, demonstrating audience willingness to accept actors in varied roles.

Pendse believes her journey now involves actively breaking typecasts. She asserts that actors should not be afraid of audience expectations but rather should consistently surprise them with diverse performances to redefine perceptions and offer new viewing experiences.
