Mohit Dagga, who is essaying Ashok in Doosri Maa, says, “I am a proud son of a farmer.I come from Gadarwara, Madhya Pradesh, and grew up in picturesque, agricultural fields. I am now an actor, but I used to be a farmer and help my father. Riding on a tractor and tilling the land always amazed me. In our field. We must focus on organic farming and develop some new techniques. I have always dreamed of having a small farm in Mumbai, where I could grow all my favourite vegetables and fruits.”
Himani Shivpuri, who is playing Katori Amma in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, says, “I come from a farmers' family. My father was a Sanskrit teacher, for which he later had to move to The Doon School. However, my uncle took care of our farms and orchards. I have grown up amidst apple, plum, and almond plants in Uttarakhand. Let me tell you, farming is one of the toughest jobs. I love farming so much that at my Mumbai residence, I do some organic farming. I grow spinach, fenugreek, curry leaves, spearmint, bitter gourd, chilies, lemons, and many more green vegetables. These plants are like babies to me."
Shubhangi Atre, who plays Angoori Bhabi in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, says, “To be honest, buying land for farming was a childhood dream of mine. Four years ago, I bought land and started farming. It's a fruit farm, and I have grown guava, chikoo, mango, jackfruit, and java plum (jamun) there. Recently, I treated my Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai family with my farm's guavas, and everyone loved it. I do organic farming and make sure that whenever I am not shooting, I spend most of my time there. I make sure to leave enough fruits on trees to feed birds. Seeing them enjoy those fruits gives me a sense of fulfillment."
