Neha Sargam had a gala time on Himanshu Malhotra’s talk show

Actor Neha Sargam, who was recently on actor Himanshu Malhotra’s talk show Share and Grow Spotlight, says that she had a great experience on the show. The actor adds that she has known Himanshu for a while now and loves the equation she shares with him.

“I loved the fact that he considered me to be part of such a great initiative. I have always been fond of Himanshu and we had always had very nice and constructive conversations whenever we have got the chance. When he asked me to come on the talk show, I was very glad. We were planning to meet each other for a very long time but we were just not getting the chance to meet. Himanshu’s talk show Share and Grow Spotlight helped us do that,” she says.


Talking about the response to the episode, she says, “It was very nice. People are actually looking forward to the interview. It looks very interesting and impressive. The conversation goes very deep.”

Neha says that she met Himanshu 7 years back and connected instantly with him. “It's been 7 years since we know each other. We connected very quickly. I think I had gone for a look test with my mother and he was also there. From there on, I think we connected. He told my mom that I was very good at my work,” she says.

Ask her what she loves about him, and she says, “The best part about him is that he is very genuine. I think there are very few people on this earth who do not look for profit or loss in everything. He is one of them. He attracts genuine people as well. I have seen his all the interviews that he has done on the show. He is such a vibrant person. I am very fond of Himanshu as a human being.”

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
