Honestly, I never knew she was part of 'Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi' - that show was pure gold! These reunions are rare and precious. But I feel the media sometimes just focuses on the bigger stars and forgets stalwarts like Arya ji. Good to see Avtar Gill giving her the spotlight she deserves.
That caption from Tejashri Pradhan - "80 can look so healthiest with the right state of mind" - is so true! Sulbha Arya reminds me of the great character actors from Indian cinema who never needed the limelight but always elevated every scene. Respect from Canada! 🇨🇦
Tabu and Naseeruddin Shah in one frame... what a treat for cinema lovers! And Sulbha Arya's contribution to Indian television is immense. I remember watching 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' and noticing her small but impactful role. These are the real gems of Bollywood - no PR, no drama, just pure talent. 👏
I think it's lovely that these actors maintain such warmth even after years. But one thing I'd like to point out - why are only male actors (Avtar, Naseeruddin) getting mentioned first? Sulbha Arya is the star of this story, and Tejashri's appreciation was so genuine. Let's give women their due credit more often. Overall, beautiful to see such camaraderie.
