“A Deeply Emotional Moment for Me”: Actress Manasi Kulkarni Gets Emotional Seeing Her Daughter on the Big Screen

Actress Manasi Kulkarni’s daughter, Ovi, is set to make her acting debut in the upcoming Marathi film Dwidha. Watching this mother-daughter duo share the screen has excited fans, while Manasi expressed that seeing Ovi act was a deeply moving experience.

Audience interest in the next generation of actors has always been high in the Marathi film industry. Dwidha has gathered buzz for a special coincidence: Ovi plays the younger version of ‘Shravani,’ the central character portrayed by her real-life mother, Manasi.

Despite this being Ovi’s first time on the big screen, her confidence and innocence earned praise from the film’s cast and crew. Written and directed by Nilesh Bhaskar Naik and produced by Vidula Ramesh Ajgaonkar, Dwidha is scheduled for release on August 21.

A Mother’s Pride & A Daughter’s Debut

Reflecting on her daughter’s debut, Manasi Kulkarni shared:

“Ovi being selected to play young Shravani was a deeply emotional moment for me. As a mother, watching her first onscreen journey made me immensely proud. Seeing her natural ease and confidence as an actor was truly satisfying. She played the role with complete honesty and dedication.”

Speaking about her very first acting experience, Ovi added:

“I was a bit scared at first, but my mother and the entire team encouraged me a lot, which helped me perform with confidence. I am extremely happy to have received the opportunity to present myself to the audience through Dwidha.”

About the Film & Cast

Dwidha is more than just a story about a father-daughter bond; it is a sensitive exploration of love, trust, and emotions within relationships.

Alongside Manasi and Ovi, the film features a strong ensemble cast including Satish Pulekar, Renuka Daftardar, Aastad Kale, Tanvi Kulkarni, Pushkar Sarad, Manoj Kolhatkar, Bhushan Kadu, Prafulla Sawant, and Hemangi Welankar.
