Veteran actor and National Award winning producer SmitaTalwalkar was at her candid best when the diarist ran into her at a recent event. Once the darling of the Marathi film industry, the feisty Smita had won hearts with her histrionics in classics such as 'Choukat Raja' and 'KalatNakalat'. But we hear she���������s not very happy with the younger bunch mainly because she can���������t come to terms with their language ���������skills���������.
���������They can neither speak English nor Marathi properly and their stammering drives me crazy,��������� she sighed. While she never was known for mincing her words, we have reason to believe that all is not lost - beyond just chiding the youngsters, Talwalkar
has joined forces with fellow veteran SuhasJoshi
to make them recite the MarutiStotra to improve their diction. We hear those who are identified as needing improvement have little room to escape ��������� so it���������s better enunciation or bust!
