Indrani feels everyone can connect to her award-winning character

After all, she received the award for Best Actress at the Tele Academy Awards 2019 for playing the titular character in Sreemoyee. “The serial went on air from June and became popular within a week. This is the first award for Sreemoyee and that too, so soon after its telecast. So, that surely proves it popularity. Actually, all women are Sreemoyees in some way or the other. They balance work and home with equal élan, but there is no appreciation for that. We tend to take them for granted. She has to come back home and cook, while the husband takes rest after work. If a girl is a homemaker, the attitude is such that she does nothing the whole day — only eats and sleeps. But she is the one who makes sure that everyone is happy and literally binds everyone together. So, this serial revolves around all these, which we see around us every day. The audience from all strata of society could relate to it from the very first day and that’s what made it so popular,” said Indrani.m-6831093267415157277gmail-msonospacingmargin:0in;margin-bottom: .0001pt;background:white;font-variant-ligatures: normal;font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2;text-align:start;widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial;word-spacing: 0pxDoes she remember how many awards she has in her cupboard? “It must be around 250-300. I really don’t know. I am working for the past 32 years and trust me, till today, I get goosebumps when I hold a trophy in my hand.Receiving an award makes me feel good, honored, but at the same time, it makes me feel more responsible,” said the actor.m-6831093267415157277gmail-msonospacingmargin:0in;margin-bottom: .0001pt;background:white;font-variant-ligatures: normal;font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2;text-align:start;widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial;word-spacing: 0pxIndrani will be in Kolkata during Puja since she will be shooting till Shasthi. “I have already started Puja shopping.
