85-year old Lucknow woman, Pushpa Joshi, who is making her feature film acting debut is surely an inspiration for all of us. She will be seen portraying Saurabh Shukla‘s mother in the film ‘Raid‘.
The ace actor Ajay Devgn, who was shooting with Pushpa Joshi went out of his way to make her comfortable on the set. In fact, he was very particular about his shooting schedules with her. He would even make sure that her scenes were given utmost priority and she would not have to wait on the set for her scene. Not just him, the whole cast and crew were very accommodating towards her and indeed took great care of her.
Talking about her casting, Director Raj Kumar Gupta says,
“Pushpa Joshi was a darling on the set. Everyone wanted to be around her because she is charming, graceful and has a great sense of humour. She is 85, I was really flabbergasted by her professionalism. She remembered her lines, she was always smiling and was a bundle of energy. For me she is also a living example – if you want to do something from the heart, age is just a number. It was an absolute pleasure working with her and I wish her good health and good luck.”
Well, it is truly said that talent knows no boundaries of age and time.
