Rajesh Shringarpure says, ‘The competition should be with oneself to do better’!

#SonyEntertainmentTelevision’s magnum opus #PunyashlokAhilyabai has been receiving immense adulation from the viewers. The show brings to light the journey of #AhilyabaiHolkar and how she vehemently defied the pre-defined norms of the patriarchal society with the unwavering support of her father-in-law #MalharRaoHolkar. Currently with the education track, the audience can see the drive in Ahilya and her thirst for knowledge. This is encouraged by Malhar Rao who feels one should be presented with an opportunity irrespective of gender if there is potential.

Renowned TV actor Rajesh Shringarpure, who essays the character of Malhar Rao Holkar believes that one has to be true to oneself and one’s beliefs to succeed in life. Even in the show, Ahilya, had to undergo numerous challenges to prove herself worthy for education. But that didn’t deter her spirit. She overcame all odds to pursue what she set out to achieve.

Sharing his thoughts on the same, Rajesh Shringarpure said, “It’s a highly competitive environment that we live in. But I strongly believe one has to be true to oneself and one’s beliefs to succeed in life. The competition should be with oneself to do better. Being a part of shows like Punyashlok Ahilyabai reaffirms my beliefs further. At the end of the day, I don’t dwell in thoughts like who was better than me… I look back to see how better I was than yesterday. This is applicable both personally and professionally.”

Punyashlok Ahilyabai, airs every Mon-Friday at 7:30pm on Sony Entertainment Television.
