Mumbai-: In a touching tribute to one of Marathi cinema’s most beloved figures, actor and writer Sankarshan Karhade recently opened up about a personal moment that left a profound mark on his life. Sharing the memory publicly, Karhade recounted an early encounter with veteran actor Makarand Anaspure—an episode he describes as a quiet turning point in his journey.
Struggling through a difficult phase, Karhade was once invited to Anaspure’s home. “He first made sure I had a proper, satisfying meal,” Karhade recalled. “Then, without saying much, he handed me bags full of books—rich with knowledge, meaning, and perspective.”
The simple yet powerful gesture, according to Karhade, wasn’t just about nourishment or literature—it was an act of quiet mentorship and care. “It wasn’t just food or books; it was warmth, support, and belief. That evening changed something in me,” he said.
The anecdote, shared during a recent interaction, has since gone viral among fans of Marathi theatre and cinema, who see in it a reflection of the deep-rooted camaraderie, humility, and emotional richness that characterizes the industry.
In an era where success stories often revolve around grand gestures, Karhade’s story is a poignant reminder that genuine kindness often lies in the simplest acts—and that for many artists, true legacy is built not just on screen, but in lives quietly touched along the way.
