“I am extremely delighted, proud, and overwhelmed with all the love and affection that Tandoor has been receiving. Right from the critics to the masses, everybody has loved it. Being nominated for various awards is just the icing on the cake. I’m thankful to all the juries who have nominated it in various categories in different award shows. Award and appreciation definitely matter a lot. Honestly, this love from the audience is our real reward, and awards are the much-required stamp of appreciation,” she says.

Performance of actors Rashami Desai and Tanuj Virwani, who played lead characters in the web series, has been appreciated.

“Rashmi and Tanuj were a delight to work with. They have put in so much effort to get under the skin of their characters. Both have wonderfully portrayed their roles, which are much layered and have successfully adopted the essence of those parts,” she too showers praises on the actors.

Chandni shares that she got the best compliment from her father-in-law for the series. “He called me immediately after he saw Tandoor and said that I had executed the story in a very sensitive manner. He liked the way we presented the content and didn’t let it become just another average crime series. He also praised the way we have handled the emotions of two main characters, he found the depiction balanced,” adds the producer of the hit web series Raktanchal.

Talking about her future plans, she says, “I’m reading a lot of scripts these days before finalising my next project. Tandoor has raised the bar really high now, so I need to choose my next project wisely. I have to live up to the expectations. I don’t want to compromise on the entertainment quotient.”

Vijayendra Kumeria : Nowadays I don’t think people believe in rivalry but healthy competition between actors and it’s important too as it motivates you in a way. But I don’t think there is any reason to have problems between actors as everyone is pretty confident in their own space. I believe everyone is more open to helping each other to do their best and there is a sense of security in our generation. If I talk about myself, I love to get feedback from my fellow actors and also love to be supportive towards them. I am good friend with Abhishek Verma.
Dusshyant Wag : In my opinion, actors are fur more confident and self aware these days. If I believe in myself, if I know my strengths and weaknesses, it’s easy for me to face the competition. Then whether it’s with friends or strangers, it really doesn’t matter. That’s the main reason, we don’t see rivalry in co-actors nowadays. In fact, as a friend it’s easy to discuss with each other, grow and lead together. That’s what friends are for. I am friend with my co-actors Kunal Kapoor and Sushrut Mankani.

Nivedita Basu : I think people have now become more diplomatic. I am not sure how many people are actually encouraging others in real life but I guess even if they are motivating someone, they still want to be above them. If it is not their line of work then they are very encouraging, for e.g. I am a producer, I will motivate an actor, an actor will motivate a director, so that way there is a motivation which probably was not known. But I think now we get to see and hear these things because of social media. Having said that I feel there is always a sense of insecurity, not just with actors but others as well. If I talk about friends, I have more of childhood friends and I do have a lot of friends from the industry as well, and Eijaz Khan is good friend of mine. With him, we always pick it up from where ever we left.

Manit Joura : Back in 2007 when I started working in the industry I never faced such kind of issues. I have been friends with all my co-actors like Sargun Mehta, Ravi Dubey, Dheeraj Dhoopar, Mrunal jain, Shraddha Arya, Shabir Ahluwalia and many more. I have been friends with many people and this industry has given me fanatic friends. Actor Bhuwan Arora is also a dear friend. I have a question about acting or character or something. I call him and speak to him. I also do the same with Dheeraj. We speak on everything so there is no rivalry. I don’t have any reason for rivalry because my character, thought process, and personality is different from others. I probably make more friends than enemies.

Delnaaz Irani : I have so many girlfriends, who are actors. It’s a myth that co-actors can’t be friends. I have always supported my female friends, co-actors and I have made friends on set and it remained for years. I don’t feel jealousy or don’t have that harmful competitive spirit because I think everybody has their own space and luck. Moon Banerjee and I have been friends with her for 22 years. In fact Rupali Ganguly and I have been buddies for 20 years now and we have done plays, reality shows together. We visit each other’s home during festivals. Friendship has been there and it stayed on for years with me. So I genuinely don’t feel that co-actors cannot be friends.

Sneh Binny: Well, it’s orthodox thinking that two actors or a male and a female actor can’t be friends. It has changed with the current generation. Yes, people have their judgements but that shouldn’t bother anyone if you’re good friends. Two co-actors or two people from the industry can be good friends, and can be good motivators too. These days you can see posts on social media where actors are promoting other actors’ shows or movies, and it shows that all that feeling of competition and jealousy are far behind. Plus, everyone is so busy with their lives that I feel they want everything around them to be positive. Mrunal Jain is a good friend of mine. He is like my buddy, my confidante and we have been with each other through thick and thin.

Chandni Soni: It is true that there was a time when two actors or co-stars used to avoid each other and were not friends. The times have changed now, we have progressed and two actors can be good friends. Industry wise friends are important as you can share and grow together. One of the close friends I’ve found is Vishal Singh, he’s a very genuine person and always one call away. I can count on him any day anytime.

Sneha Namanandi: It is a very unique bond : For me friendship is a very unique bond. I have had all kinds of friends, who have supported me, been there for me, ditched me. But for me friendship is all about being there for your friend whenever he or she needs you. I am someone who will care a lot, go an extra mile or out of my way to help a friend. I have a few special friends who are close to me. I don’t have any one name. Growing up, dogs have been around me and they have been my favourite companion. Polo, Tigger, Miguel, and Maui are my doggo friends.

Mahreen Khan: An important relationship in my life : Friendship is a very important relationship in my life. I have been blessed with amazing people around me. It has been a beautiful journey with them. Friends teach you a lot. Major Bikramjeet was one of my closest friends ever. He was like my mentor and friend. Friendship is a very beautiful thing they make you whoever you are.

Harjinder Singh: Friends keep you motivated : Friend is someone who has your back, no matter what. He will watch out for you and ensure you are not in danger alone. He will never purposely lead you into making decisions that aren’t good for you. I share this bond with my best buddy Prateek. We don’t need words to communicate, just a look works. When it comes to Prateek, his belief in me always kept me focused. He repeatedly kept me motivated to never let my dream just go away.

Sharad Malhotra: Things are never quite as scary when you’ve got a best friend : Karan Sethi & Prateek Chakraborty have been my friends for 10 years now. It started with my film From Sydney With Love and we ended up being more than family. We’ve had our shares of ups & downs, fights, arguments, mood swings, hibernations and misunderstandings too but at the end of the day we’re more than brothers taking care of each other’s backs. It’s bromance all the way. Things are never quite as scary when you’ve got a best friend and these two are my best buddies. Anything is possible when you have the right people there to support you.

Nivedita Basu: Those who make you happier in your lowest days are true friends : I wonder why we celebrate these special days. If it’s celebrated just on one day, then you have to remember and that’s ironic. I think my friendship has more is to do with my parents, my husband and my in-laws. They are like the only permanents in your life. I don’t have one friend but apart from that I have few close friends who’ve been with me for more than 20 years. My child is my best friend right now because I spend most of my time with her. People who are there for you during your low days, matter to me the most because in happiness even a fake crowd shows up. So people who help you feel happier in your lowest days are true friends.

Chandni Soni: Friends teach you how to fight with life : Neeraj Soni my husband, he’s my bestie. I am not saying it because he’s my husband. He is the only person in my life with whom I can share anything. Sometimes he just sees my face or mood and he understands my feelings. He’s the only person who taught me so many things, like how to fight with life and he’s the only person who handles me very well.

Chitra Vakil Sharma: Friends stay with you at every stage of life : Friendship has different meanings for different people to me, for me it’s a fantastic feeling. I am a people’s person and I have lots and lots of friends across the globe and I am regularly in touch with them. I know what my childhood friend is upto or what my former colleague is planning. Having said that, we all have that one special friend in life who is always with you and that is my childhood friend Dr. Abhijit Bopardikar. He has been with me in every stage of life.

On being asked why she chose such a strong subject she says “the script appealed to me as a woman as women are often not allowed to progress more than men and men tend to dominate if a woman tends to follow her dreams. I wanted to highlight that every woman should follow her dreams, the world has progressed women are independent and women empowerment is the order of the day. Our web-series TV shows and films reflect society and vice versa. I would like to produce more such web series for sure”.

She further adds, ” There are so interesting stories which fit into the web series format. I am already going through few fresh concepts to produce.”

“Fashion is being what you are, you need to carry yourself nicely with confidence. I wear what I like, I don’t judge myself and expect the same from people I work and interact with. Since my growing up years, I have liked to dress up.“…You’ll never find me without lipstick, neat hair, manicured nails, besides a nice attire and that’s the way I am,” Chandni adds. She feels women must live life to their fullest and not be bogged down by societal pressure of the way they look and spend their life.
“We get one life every woman should live life on her own terms, looking good, feeling good is a part of that,” she says.

Even though she comes from a background with no connection to this industry, she was able to make some real and genuine friends. From Nishant Singh Malkhani to Vishal Singh and her Tandoor actors Rashami Desai and Tanuj Virwani, she is friends with some popular faces of the industry.

Sharing a pic with Vishal Singh, she said, “He is a family friend and gem of a person. It is very rare to find a person like that who is so grounded and so well behaved.” On being asked if there can be genuine friendship in the entertainment industry she said, “Of course it is very much possible. Actors are human beings too.”

“At the end of the day, even they need someone to confide in, and even though they have families, there are certain things which you can share easily with your friends, without getting the feelings of being judged. I guess you just need people with whom your vibe matches and that happens everywhere, not just in the industry,” Chandni concluded.

Rajit Dev – I love the monsoon but not the kind of flooding that happens in Mumbai. If it rains for three hours continuously, everyone is stressed. But yes as a kid I used to love playing in the rain, especially playing football and cricket. Sliding through mud, waiting at a friend’s house till my clothes dried so that mom does not get to know that I was playing in the rain or else I would get a good scolding from her. I love eating bhajiya, garam samosa and corn during nice rainy days.

Delnaaz Irani – It’s my most favourite season of mine. I actually wait for the monsoons every year. But I don’t like when I have to shoot during the monsoon. The water sort of drenches us all and turns everything around into a mess. My fondest memory would be my beautiful trip to Mahabaleshwar with Percy (DJ; her partner) and my family. We usually take trips to Mahabaleshwar or Matheran during monsoon. I love to have a lot of tea, bhajias especially chilli pakodas. Even during shoots, I request the production team to arrange bhajias for us all.

Meera Deosthale – I love monsoons! When we were kids, my friends and I would plan how we would spend our rainy days in advance. We enjoyed going out and playing in the rain, then came back home to eat bhajias made by mom. We also enjoyed watching movies at home and enjoyed the weather. I love how everything cleans up when it rains. I love the smell of the soil when the first drops of rain touch the earth.

Nikkiey Chawla – I was new to Bombay and had started dating an actor friend. I have heard about people going to Lonavala and Khandala during monsoon, but he took me to this beautiful place called Pawna Dam. The rain at the backdrop of mountains and lake looked so beautiful, I still remember that vacation. I love dance in the rain, love the smell of wet spoil and enjoy how much the environment becomes green and beautiful. I love eating besan pakodas, onion bhajiya with spicy red pudina chutney during this season.

Hasan Zaidi – Monsoon has always been very romantic for me. I love the sound of rain, smell of the soil and thunder sort of charges me up. I am very fond of walking in the rain. My wife Christin, when she came from Austria for the first time, and saw me walking in the rain, she clearly said that she does not want to join me and that she does not find it interesting. But I had told her that soon she will also fall in love with this. It’s been 12 years that we are married now and she has already fallen in love with walking in the rain. There have been days when we have walked from Prithvi theatre to Juhu circle.

Saahil Uppal – My fondest memory of the monsoon has to be the days when school would remain closed due to heavy rainfall and water logging. That allowed me to spend the day at home, sleeping for long hours late, watching TV and playing in the rain while enjoying that heavenly smell of wet mud. I remember my mother making pakodas and chai for all of us. I love the environment after a decent downpour, because everything becomes so fresh and happy.

Rushad Rana – I have always been very fond of the rain. I remember doing this rain sequence for my show Hip Hip Hurray. It was a football or basketball match sequence shot in the rain and was shot with artificial water. We all had so much fun getting drenched while shooting this scene. My all time favourite food during monsoon is a nice cup of tea coupled with bhajiyas. Like any other Mumbaikars I am crazy about this combo too. Rain has this very calming and positive effect on me.

Shobhit Johri – Fondest memory of monsoon is long drives to Lonavala from Pune, where I was doing my engineering. We, 4-5 friends, would do it every time it used to start raining. We used to drive straight to Lonavala lake and enjoy garma garam bhuttas. It all becomes green and clean when it rains and that is what I best like about monsoons.

Sneh Binny – Going on road trips during monsoon are the best memories that I have. In fact, I just went on a trip last weekend. I like to explore places which a lot of people don’t know about. What I love about rain is that it makes me calm, relaxes my mind. Just listening to the sound and watching it pour through the car windscreen makes me smile. Pakodas, maggi and chai are the perfect combo during rains.

Sagar Parekh – Oh that sweet, heavenly and sinful smell of the wet mud. Who doesn’t love it? This incident is from a few years back, when I was in my boarding school in Mussoorie (St George’s College) and we used to have monthly day outings. It was the start of July and the day was quite pleasant. I remember, my friends and I went out to roam around in the streets, and suddenly clouds covered the sky and it meant our outing was going to be ruined. But unexpectedly it ended up as a heavenly feeling with clouds touching us and the freshness in the air. Although we couldn’t roam around on the streets, we still had steamed corn and momos. The sound of the rain drops and Saiyaan by Kailash Kher would play on the radio. And, trust me when I say this, there is no better feeling than laughing and playing around with your school friends in the rain. No amount of money and or materialistic happiness can even come close to it.

Aly Goni – Monsoon is one of my favourite seasons. I have grown up in Jammu, which has a very beautiful landscape all over. Rain always reminds me of nature and life. I love to go for a long drive during rain. Lonavala is one of my favourite getaways. I love to eat hot masala corn and coffee. Trees and plants look awesome in the rain. Hearing good music while driving perks up my mood.

Jasmin Bhasin – Coming of Monsoon means the end of summer. I remember in Kota (Rajasthan), my hometown, we used to enjoy rain on the roof of our house. Mumbai rains are unpredictable, but it makes the city look green and clean. I like to go to Lonavala and Goa during monsoon. The sight of greenery all around makes me feel positive and happy. A cup of hot tea and some healthy snacks are a good combination for me during rains.

Chandni Soni – My fondest monsoon memory is the long drives with my husband Neeraj Soni. He is crazy about rain. The moment it starts raining I know that it’s the time for long drives and Kishore Kumar songs. I love to have chai and pakodas during the rains. I just love the smell of the soil when it starts to rain.

“The response that we have been getting for the song is nothing less than amazing. I am so glad that the audience could relate to the essence of the track. We hoped that Tujh Bin would do well but never expected this kind of feedback,” she says.

Sung by Arsh Mohammed, Tujh Bin has been written by Neetu Saini and composed by Ankit Shah. The music of this soulful rendition has been programmed by Ankit and Soumajit Biswas.

“The concept of songs is not a common thing in web series unlike what it is in films. But in this case the song fitted the situation perfectly. It is not there just for the heck of it. The song helps in taking the story forward and breaks the monotony,” reveals Chandni, who is also the producer of the hit web series Raktanchal.

Talking about what makes Tujh Bin special and praising Rashami and Tanuj’s performance, she adds further, “What I like the most about the song is the Sufi element in it. It has been composed and sung in sync with the story of the series. The words are meaningful not just in reality but also goes with the theme of the narrative. As far as Rashami and Tanuj are concerned, their onscreen chemistry is amazing. Both are brilliant actors. The song has captured their onscreen chemistry beautifully. The combination of both of these talented individuals has already become the talk of the town.”

Tujh Bin has been trending on Twitter and got over one million views. Nivedita Basu is the director of Tandoor that narrates the story of a couple whose life takes an unexpected turn.

Chandni is happy that OTT allows makers and artists to do things that they could not explore earlier. The OTT boom, according to her, has helped the entertainment industry grow and survive in these difficult times.

“As theaters are still not fully functional because of the pandemic, the OTT platforms have come as a blessing for the makers, actors, viewers and everyone else associated with the industry. It is also challenging for the platforms to present quality content. Yes, today’s audience is very much aware and intelligent enough to differentiate between mediocre and quality content. I am so glad that the door has opened up for talent and good work, not to forget the scope everyone has now to do much more than ever before,” she says.
