Mumbai, July 22 (NationPress) Renowned television actress Deepika Singh delighted her Instagram followers with a captivating video from the filming of her current show, 'Mangal Lakshmi'.
The clip showcases an adorable monkey eagerly enjoying the bananas placed before him, one after another, while the cast can be heard expressing their fondness for the little creature in the backdrop.
Motivated by the monkey's determination, Deepika encouraged everyone to pursue knowledge with the same relentless enthusiasm that the monkey displayed in gathering the bananas.
"Gather knowledge persistently as a monkey collects bananas. It’s your stepping stones towards success," she wrote in her video caption.
In an exclusive interview with IANS, Deepika shared her insights into why 'Mangal Lakshmi' resonates so deeply with viewers.
She emphasized that the true hero of any show is its content. "Crafting fresh and captivating episodes daily is no easy task. However, our writers and the creative team work diligently because our show airs every day. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such a committed and experienced group," she mentioned.
Deepika further explained that the challenges encountered by the show’s protagonist are relatable to many women.
"The narrative revolves around a homemaker — facing unexpected life trials that compel her to step outside her comfort zone, take control, and fight for her children. Initially, she thought being a mother was sufficient, but now she must engage in a legal battle for their custody. To do this, she must become self-reliant — something Mangal never envisioned she'd need to be. It’s authentic, it’s relatable," she elaborated.
"Many women, after years of marriage, find themselves isolated — struggling to even receive support from their own children. After devoting their lives to their families, they suddenly feel abandoned. This narrative mirrors that reality and sends a strong message — education and financial independence are crucial. Life is unpredictable, and being self-sufficient is vital," Deepika concluded.
