Actor Amar Upadhyay became emotional during the promotion of his recently released Gujarati film ‘Mom Tane Nai Samjay’. The film is based on the relationship between mother and child, and as soon as it was talked about, Amar became emotional remembering his mother.
Talking to Dainik Bhaskar, Amar told that it has been 22 years since his mother passed away. But even today he remembers small things related to him.
Even after 22 years, mother’s voice still echoes in my ears.
Remembering his mother, Amar Upadhyay said, ‘Today it has been 22 years since my mother passed away. This day always reminds me of him. As I was in Manali during the shooting, I got the news of his death. The sorrow of that time is very difficult to express in words. His memories and those moments always remain with me.
He further said, ‘His voice still resonates in my ears. She used to ask me this question every day – Son, what will you eat? And every day she would call me and ask the same thing. I still remember these small things. It was very difficult to live without him, but his memories gave me strength to live at every step. Mother’s love is most precious, and her memories never end. She is always with us, whether she is with us or not.
The film is a mix of Gujarati and English.
Talking about the film, Amar said, ‘This film is the story of a Gujarati family, which is settled in London. I am playing the role of a successful businessman, while Rashmi Desai is playing the role of my wife. The process of repeated explaining about the children increases, due to which the wife gets tired and leaves the house.
She becomes a ‘mom on rent’ and goes to live with children who do not have a mother. This film shows the importance and love of a mother in a new way. The film has been made in a mix of Gujarati and English, and has been shot in London and Birmingham.
Not only women, even men were crying after watching the film.
He further said, ‘When you grow up, sometimes in childhood you say to your mother – ‘Mummy, you will not understand.’ But the film shows that mother always understands, no matter what we say or not. Mother is such a person who understands what is in the heart of children without saying anything.
This film was so beautiful that after watching it everyone, be it men or women, became emotional. Men were also crying and I was very surprised to see that this film is so deep and emotional.
Rashmi Desai is very cooperative and friendly
Let us tell you, Rashmi Desai is seen opposite Amar in the film. On the experience of working with Rashmi, Amar said, ‘The experience of working with her was very good. She is not only cooperative and friendly, but is also prepared and professional at all times on the sets. His way of working is very organized, which creates a great environment on the set.
Even during the promotion, we had a lot of fun, laughed and joked and promoted with Dharmesh Bhai (Director Dharmesh Mehta). It was a fun and hectic experience, but felt great.
People on the set were laughing at my condition
Narrating a funny incident during the shooting, Amar said, ‘We were shooting in April, and the temperature that day was just five degrees, along with strong cold winds. Since it was my first day, I had not brought thermals from Bombay. I went wearing just a shirt and suit.
During the shooting, I was trembling, my teeth were chattering and I was not able to speak the dialogues properly. Everyone was laughing seeing my condition. The next day I told my wife and brought thermals. Now I was fully prepared. The temperature was still only three-four degrees, but this time I felt quite comfortable wearing double thermals.
