Mumbai, Aug 6 (NationPress) Director Anubhav Sinha fondly recalls his cherished memories with Akashvani. On Wednesday, he took to his Instagram to share two snapshots from his visit to All India Radio.
In a heartfelt caption, he reflected on his experiences with Akashvani, expressing how he couldn’t resist their invitation. He shared, “Whenever I receive an invitation to step away from my office, my initial thought is always, 'why can't I go?' I come up with excuses each time. Yet, when the call came from Akashvani, I found myself searching for reasons to attend. Why? Akashvani is a significant part of my upbringing. I remember listening to Rafi sir's interview with Pancham da and more. I dashed over there. Truthfully, I drove my car and pondered on why Akashvani wasn’t playing in it. I set up the channel myself at a reasonable price.”
He continued, “The treasure trove they possess is unparalleled. The second photo features thirty-two thousand Akashvani records stored in Mumbai. Exploring them feels like diving into an ancient civilization. I spent two hours conversing with Mamta ji. This will be aired today at four o'clock and will also be available on their app later. Yes, they have an app! Download it to access those rare songs and interviews. It's truly a treasure.”
Previously, Anubhav, who directed ‘Bheed’ recently, marked the seventh anniversary of his social drama ‘Mulk’. On Sunday, he shared a collection of behind-the-scenes images from the film’s production on Instagram.
In his lengthy caption, he expressed his dismay at how little has changed in the past seven years regarding communal harmony.
He wrote, “Seven years have passed. This film should have become irrelevant. Sadly, it hasn’t. I’m grateful we made it, thanks to the entire team. I was merely the manager. The last time I saw Chintu ji was at Amit ji's Diwali party. He returned after receiving treatment. I had just completed filming for ‘Thappad’. He asked, ‘Hey, is your shooting finished? Add one more day, and I’ll walk by in the scene.’”
“Then we embraced, and he urged, ‘Quickly write something new.’ I didn’t know him for long; our first meeting was for ‘Mulk’. His passing feels like an irreplaceable loss, and each year deepens this wound,” he added.
