Bigg Boss Marathi 5: Varsha Usgaonkar reveals Laxmikant Berde would try to get people work in film industry, says, "he had a habit of helping actors who had no work"

In a touching episode of Bigg Boss Marathi Season 5, veteran actress Varsha Usgaonkar opened up about her cherished memories of the late actor Laxmikant Berde. Her heartfelt recollections provided viewers with a glimpse into the compassionate and generous nature of one of the Marathi film industry's most beloved figures.

Varsha began by sharing her extensive experience working alongside Laxmikant, affectionately known as Lakshya. "I have worked so much with Laxmikant. Lakshya was a wonderful co-actor," she said, reflecting on the numerous projects they had done together. Her admiration for him was palpable as she recounted his professional demeanor and supportive attitude towards his colleagues.

"Lakshya wanted to go ahead and get success by making everyone successful who are with him," Varsha continued. This statement encapsulated the essence of Laxmikant Berde's character—a man who believed that true success was achieved by uplifting those around him. In an industry often marked by fierce competition, Lakshya stood out for his altruistic approach and genuine desire to see his peers thrive.

"He was the actor who would try his best to give people work. He would ask makers, 'Who is doing that role?' Then the maker would say, 'No, we haven't cast anyone.' Then Lakshya would say, 'Oh, then do one thing, I know an actor, take him.'" Varsha's anecdote highlighted Laxmikant's proactive efforts to help struggling actors find opportunities in the industry. His habit of recommending actors for roles demonstrated his commitment to supporting others, even if it meant going out of his way.

Varsha's stories painted a picture of a man who, despite his own rising fame, never forgot the struggles of emerging actors. "He loved to help actors who have no work in the industry or people who are looking for work," she added, emphasizing his empathy and the positive impact he had on countless lives. For many actors, Laxmikant Berde's generosity provided not just work but also hope and encouragement during challenging times.

Shifting the conversation, Varsha then spoke about another iconic figure in Marathi cinema, Ashok Saraf. "Ashok is a very moody actor but a very kind-hearted human being," she said, offering a candid yet affectionate portrayal of her colleague. Her description of Ashok's personality provided insight into the complexities of his character—someone who could be temperamental but also deeply compassionate.

And we started laughing." This light-hearted moment not only illustrated Ashok's quick wit but also his ability to connect with fans and bring joy to those around him. Despite his occasional moodiness, his kindness and sense of humor left a lasting impression on those who knew him.
