Madhurima Tuli Interview: I'm an actor who craves for good roles and good content

Actress Madhurima Tuli, who will shortly be seen opposite Ssharad Malhotraa in Humtum Telefilms' short movie Pasta, talks about how she came on board, working with Ssharad as well as her role in it.

What prompted you to do a short film?


I am doing Chandrakanta right now where I am wearing Indian clothes since it's a mythological historical show. This short film Pasta was something very different. It had humour, it had a young look and young people around. The story and concept were so cool that instantly I just thought to grab this opportunity and be a part of this short film. This will give me an image break also, and I can also tell people that I can do something which is not Indian but Indo-western. That's what prompted me to do this short film.

What is your role in Pasta?

My character's name in the short film is Nimmi who is a working woman. She is married to Anant, played by Ssharad Malhotraa, for three to four years. The marriage has faded off a little bit and there is some confusion happening. I can't reveal much since it’s a situational comedy. You'll have to see the film to understand what exactly it is. But there is some misunderstanding that has happened. The movie talks about how you should take life a little lightly because life is beautiful.

Have you done any other short film in past?

No, I haven't done any other short film. This is my first short film. I am very excited. I feel lucky to have got the chance to work with our director Vibhuti and to associate with HumTum Telefilms, Sushant Kumar and Ssharad Malhotraa. Ssharad is a fantastic actor. I really love his work. I am waiting for the film to release. Let's see how the audience takes it. I hope that they like and enjoy the film.

How was it working with HumTum Telefilms and Sushant Kumar?

Working with HumTum Telefilms was amazing. They're extremely professional people. Sushant Kumar is a fantastic human being and a good producer. It's been a great association with them. I hope to work with them soon again. I wish them all the best because this is their first short film. I hope they do wonders in their production house.

How was it working with Ssharad Malhotraa?

Ssharad is a fantastic actor as I said before. I think he is very easy going. He makes the other person also very comfortable. He has this amazing personality which shows in his on-screen roles. It was great working with him. I really enjoyed working with him. I really respect him and love his work. He loves and enjoys his work and that's what makes him great. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him.

TV, films and now short films too, which medium you like the most and why?

I like all mediums. I am an actor who craves for good roles and good content. I definitely prefer films because in films you get the time to do something with your roles, you get the time to improvise and do a lot of things.

Kim Kardashian didn’t know the Ambanis before saying yes to their ‘wild’ 50-pound wedding invite

Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloé Kardashian recently opened up about their whirlwind trip to India in July 2024. The two reality stars were among the global celebrities who attended the grand wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. In the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim admitted that she didn’t personally know the Ambani family before attending the wedding. In fact, the decision to go was made pretty casually.

During the episode, Kim shared that her connection to the Ambanis came through Lorraine Schwartz, a close friend and well-known jeweller. Schwartz designs jewellery for the Ambanis and was attending the wedding herself. She mentioned to Kim that the family was interested in inviting the Kardashian sisters to the event. “Lorraine said they’d love to have us there. We thought, why not? And we just went for it,” Kim explained.

Deepika was the only person I could think of who carries the essence of what I believe in: tradition, modernity, and a certain quiet strength that speaks for India on a global stage.”

Kareena Kapoor tells Gillian Anderson the reason why she turns down intimate scenes

Kareena Kapoor Khan, one of Bollywood’s most loved stars, has spent over two decades making deliberate choices about the roles she takes. One of those decisions is steering clear of sex scenes on screen, a stance she recently explained in a conversation with Gillian Anderson for The Dirty Magazine.

Kareena was upfront about her reasons. “I’ve never felt the need to do it,” she said. For her, intimacy doesn’t have to be shown explicitly to tell a compelling story. “I don’t think it’s necessary to push a narrative forward,” she added, making it clear that such scenes have never been part of her creative comfort zone. Unlike many in the industry, she’s never seen them as essential to her craft.
