Exclusive | Aashiesh Sharrma of Siya Ke Ram criticises Adipurush as “a cultural crime, lazy attempt at the Ramayana”

In an exclusive interview, Aashiesh Sharrma, known for his role in the popular TV series ‘Siya Ke Ram,’ has voiced strong criticism against the upcoming film ‘Adipurush,’ labeling it as a “cultural crime” and a “lazy attempt at portraying the Ramayana.”

As the excitement builds around the much-anticipated film ‘Adipurush,’ which aims to bring the epic tale of the Ramayana to the big screen, Sharrma has expressed his concerns and disappointment with the project. The actor, who played an integral role in the television adaptation of the Ramayana, believes that ‘Adipurush’ fails to capture the essence and depth of the original story.

Sharrma argues that the film’s approach lacks the required attention to detail and proper understanding of the nuances of the Ramayana. According to him, the production appears to be a rushed and shallow interpretation, missing the opportunity to delve into the intricate layers of the epic and failing to deliver a truly meaningful cinematic experience.

In his critique, Sharrma highlights the importance of maintaining cultural integrity and portraying mythological stories with the utmost respect and accuracy. He emphasizes the need for filmmakers to invest the necessary time, research, and artistic commitment to bring such revered tales to life on screen.

The actor further expresses his concern that a lack of thorough research and artistic vision can lead to misrepresentation and dilution of the cultural significance of the Ramayana. Sharrma believes that ‘Adipurush’ falls short in capturing the essence and staying true to the core values and teachings embedded within the epic.

While acknowledging the creative liberties that filmmakers often take with adaptations, Sharrma stresses the responsibility of striking a balance between artistic expression and maintaining the sanctity of revered narratives. He hopes that future projects will display a more meticulous and thoughtful approach when depicting such cherished cultural tales.

As the controversy surrounding ‘Adipurush’ continues to generate discussions, it is essential to recognize and respect differing opinions on creative interpretations of mythological stories. Sharrma’s critique highlights the ongoing debate regarding the portrayal of ancient epics in contemporary media and the responsibility that comes with adapting these narratives for mass consumption.

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

Raj Babbar left his wife, Nadira, to marry Smita Patil in 1983. His daughter Juhi Babbar has recalled the time in a new interview.
Actor Raj Babbar was already married and had two children when he began his relationship with fellow actor, Smita Patil. The affair and the ensuing marriage saw a lot of controversy, given how it began. Raj Babbar’s daughter, former actor Juhi Babbar, has now opened up on the time and how she came to know about the relationship when she was just 7 years old.

Juhi Babbar on Raj Babbar and Smita Patil

In an interview with Lehren Retro, Juhi recalled how Smita Patil made a conscious effort to connect with Raj’s two children – Juhi and her brother, Arya. “My father talked and explained his marriage with Smita Patil to me when I was barely seven years old, and that’s why my memories of Smita ji are very different. She went out of her way to do things for me. I think she also had this thing that we are the kids of the person who is most special to her, and so we are special to her as well. She would show us a lot of love, always bringing us gifts when she travelled, and she would ensure that at home, we were served the food that we liked. These small memories are nice, but unfortunately, there aren’t many memories,” she said.

Juhi said she was conflicted about her impression of Smita at the time because the actor was always nice to us, but she could see that the marriage had shaken up her own family, particularly her mother, Nadira. “As a child, I knew this is the lady my father wants to be with, and he wants to make her his wife. I could see Smita making an effort towards me and my little brother, but I also knew that this was disturbing the unit that used to be, and that my mother was unhappy about it. I had that understanding—that aunty (Smita) was being so good to me, but when I go home, I shouldn’t share this with my mother.”
