Maninee De switches to voice coaching, animal communication: Will return to TV only if I get a good project

Actor Maninee De opens up about studying animal communication, psychodrama, voice coaching, and her conditional return to television for a good project.

"If something good comes my way, I will definitely take it up. - Maninee De"

Mumbai, April 28

Actor Maninee De recently opened up about choosing to study animal communication alongside psychodrama, stating that she will return to television only for a good and solid project.

In an exclusive conversation with IANS, Maninee said, "At this point in my life, I am exploring and learning a lot of new things. I have always been a very curious student. Right now, I am studying animal communication and also a modality of psychodrama."

She added, "Along with that, I do voice work and also teach, I am a voice coach. So I don't really get a lot of time."

Talking about the deep respect she holds for television and her current journey beyond the screen, she mentioned that she salutes the TV medium.

"I have come from television, and I have a lot of respect for it because anyone who can do television or understand the grammar of that medium, I salute them. I have worked in television for 20 years, and I am not running away from anything.

Talking about working on the television platform yet again, Maninee said, "If something good comes my way, I will definitely take it up, whether it is television, theatre, films, or web, it doesn't matter to me. What matters is that I should enjoy it. If I don't enjoy something in life, I simply don't do it. In an actor's life, a lot happens, but what truly matters is being a good actor."

For the uninitiated, Maninee De has been a familiar face on Indian television for decades.

She has been part of several popular shows such as "Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin", "CID", "Left Right Left", "Baat Hamari Pakki Hai", "Adaalat", "Yeh Hai Mohabbatein", "Pavitra Rishta", and "Sanjivani".

On the personal front, Manini De was married to actor Mihir Mishra, and the couple has a daughter together. They later separated and went through a divorce after being married for over a decade.

Respect for her self-awareness. TV can be brutally demanding, especially with daily soaps. But to say she'll return only for a 'good project' — that's the kind of attitude we need more in Indian entertainment. Salute to her honesty. 👏

Honestly, her career is an inspiration. From CID to Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, she played so many diverse roles. Now studying animal communication? That's unique! I just hope we get to see her on screen again someday — maybe a web series would be perfect for her. 🐾

I respect her choice, but I wonder if she's being too picky. TV actors often struggle to move on, and this sounds like a soft exit. Still, 20 years in the industry is nothing to sneeze at. Good luck to her in whatever she does next. 🤷‍♂️
