Mrinal Kulkarni fondly remembers her show “Son Pari,” which aired from 2000 to 2006, noting that it arrived at a perfect moment in her life. She shared, “It was an incredibly special show for me. My son often said that my work didn’t connect with him or his peers, but then ‘Son Pari’ came along at just the right time.”
She expressed her joy at the show’s enduring popularity, saying, “It’s heartwarming to see that not only older generations but also today’s kids watch ‘Son Pari’ and continue to show me so much love.”
The fantasy adventure series centered on Fruity, a young girl who discovers a magical ball that calls forth a fairy named Son Pari and her friend Altu.
Kulkarni is now set to appear in “Paithani,” a ZEE5 Global series about Godavari, a skilled artisan known for her beautiful Paithani sarees. The narrative follows a mother and daughter facing challenges as they weave their final saree together.
She described “Paithani” as a beautiful metaphor for life, comparing the saree’s intricate weaving of silver, gold, and silk threads to the varied moments in life. “Life is not straightforward, but every woman weaves her own story, transforming struggles into something meaningful and beautiful,” she explained.
After reading the script, Kulkarni felt compelled to learn about weaving, discovering the immense skill required. “Even a brief crash course showed me how challenging it is. Each saree demands months of meticulous work, patience, and dedication, deepening my respect for the artisans who preserve this craft,” she remarked.
She hopes “Paithani” will resonate with audiences as much as her previous work has. “The love I’ve received is truly humbling, and I wish for this story to connect across generations as well.”
