The event, designed to promote emotional balance, holistic wellness and deep relaxation, aims to create an environment where participants can disconnect from daily stress and reconnect with their inner selves. With Sudha Chandran’s presence, the session is already generating interest among wellness seekers, performing-arts admirers and followers of spiritual healing practices.

Adding powerfully to the spiritual ambience is Dr Atul Wankhede, who will be performing live using his signature sound instruments. Dr Wankhede is a practicing Orthopaedic Surgeon, Sports Injury and Knee Replacement Specialist at Nanavati Hospital, Mumbai. Despite his demanding medical profession, he has carved a unique space for himself as a street musician, multi-instrumentalist, lifestyle coach, pranayam teacher, sound healer and vocalist, reflecting his deep-rooted passion for blending science with soulful therapies. A dedicated handpan artist, Dr Wankhede is a founder member of the Handpan India community and plays a key role in popularising the instrument across the country. Known for his calming soundscapes, he has been actively working on the mental-health benefits of the handpan, conducting workshops nationwide on its origin, versatility, meditative quality, cultural importance and future potential. His work extends beyond workshops and into curated spiritual performances, where he brings together chants, kirtans and multi-instrument collaborations to deliver transformative sound experiences. He has performed for some of India’s most high-profile and respected audiences, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Ambani and Oberoi families, top spiritual leaders, elite beauty pageants and leading industrialists, making him one of the most admired handpan artists in the country.

Hosting the session, Pooja Seth stands out as one of Mumbai’s most dynamic and spiritually evolved healers. Speaking about her journey, she shares, “Today, I am not just a Reiki or Pranic Healer. With the blessings I’ve received, many feathers have been added to my cap.” These feathers include an impressive spectrum of healing modalities such as Angel Card Reading, Switchwords, Vastu, Crystal Healing, Chakra Healing, Manifestation Coaching, Inner Child Healing, Past Life Regression, Sound Healing and Soul Constellation.

Over the years, Pooja has helped countless individuals navigate emotional blockages, overcome stress, build self-awareness and open pathways to abundance and inner peace. Her sessions are known for their compassionate approach, intuitive depth and personalised energy work.

The December 12 gathering is expected to attract spiritual enthusiasts, wellness practitioners, sound therapy admirers and individuals seeking inner calm, making it a meaningful convergence of healing and artistic brilliance. With the presence of names like Sudha Chandran, Pooja Seth and Dr Atul Wankhede, the session promises to be a memorable, soul-nourishing and uplifting experience for all attendees.

Kamya Punjabi makes a striking impact in the trailer with her confident screen presence and emotional intensity. Known for her fearless portrayals, Kamya brings both authenticity and grace to a role that embodies resilience and empowerment.
Speaking about the film, Kamya said, “When this script came to me, I instantly knew I had to be a part of it. It’s rare to find a story that speaks so truthfully about what so many women go through silently. This film gives voice to that silence — it’s emotional, honest, and liberating.”

Deepshikha Nagpal’s nuanced performance further elevates the film’s emotional core. Her portrayal of a woman navigating change is both heartfelt and inspiring, connecting deeply with audiences.

Manoj Kumar Sharma, stepping in as both actor and producer, shines with understated strength — his performance reflecting the emotional backbone of the story. Together, the trio delivers power-packed moments that stay with the viewer long after the trailer ends.

Mukherjee’s vision comes through clearly — this is not merely a film about ageing or transition, but about rebirth. The trailer beautifully captures the idea that life doesn’t stop at any stage; it evolves.
Sharing his thoughts on the film, Samar K. Mukherjee said, “As a filmmaker, I wanted to tell a story that not only moves people but also opens their eyes. Me No Pause Me Play is about transformation — it’s about rediscovering joy, identity, and purpose. Women don’t pause; they reinvent themselves, and that’s the essence of this film.”
Speaking about the project, filmmaker & Actor Manoj Kumar Sharma added, “This film is a tribute to every woman who embraces change with courage. We wanted to break the silence around menopause and celebrate it as a new beginning, not an end.”

Setting a New Benchmark in Social Storytelling
The trailer has been widely praised for its emotional depth, cinematic quality, and bold storytelling. With its mix of realism and optimism, Me No Pause Me Play positions itself as a socially relevant film that blends awareness with entertainment.
Industry insiders and audiences alike have lauded the performances of Kamya Punjabi, Deepshikha Nagpal, and Sudha Chandran for redefining the representation of strong, mature women on screen.

As anticipation builds ahead of its release on November 28, 2025, Me No Pause Me Play looks set to make a lasting impact — not just as a film, but as a movement that celebrates the idea that there is no pause in life, only a new play.

The show featured #YashTonk, #MouliGanguly, and #SudhaChandran, among others, and Mitu shared a very interesting piece about how Yash played the iconic Kunal Sikand.

She said, “Yash was not supposed to play Kunal; we had another actor for that role, but he told us that he wanted to do it, and we weree, ‘You don’t fit into the character of Kunal Sikand. So he did a look test by himself and brought the photos to Ekta and told her that he is our Kunal Sikand. He was truly convinced that he could pull it off, and he persuaded us for two weeks. Then we replaced the original actor, and he played the role.”

She further spoke about Sudha Chandran’s iconic role as Ramola Sikand and said that the veteran actress was not ready to play the role initially. Mitu said, “During those days we did not pay any money to actors initially, so Sudha ji was like, how will I do this? It’s not going to work for me. So I told her that you do this role, and it’s going to open doors for you. And it happened. Even today in every interview Sudha ji mentions mye, saying that I made her career.”

Mitu also went to praise writer Mrinal Jha, who wrote the episodes for the show, for her engaging storytelling that kept the audience on the edge of their seats in every episode. She said, “It was Mrinal’s wonderful writing that kept everybody engaged. There was also a point where I was set on doing another show, but my parents used to watch KKR with full involvement and zero interest in what I was doing. So the whole credit goes to her. I don’t think anybody can touch Mrinal’s hand in thrillers.”

“The biggest two awards that came to me were from my father. The first award that came to me was When I was lying in the hospital, after my amputation, he walked up to me and said, ‘I shall be that leg that you will lose’. So, I asked my father for how long and he promised me and said, ‘I don’t know how long I will live with my dear daughter, but I will pray to God that he gives me that long life that I shall make you successful. Take you to the peak of success and only, then leave this world.’ And that is the promise that he made me and fulfilled. The second award that came to me was when I danced for the first time with my artificial limb. After the performance, he came home and he touched my feet and I said, ‘Dad, what are you doing?’ And he said, ‘Sudha I am not bowing my head down in front of my daughter, but I’m touching the feet of Lord Saraswati who reigns in your legs.’ I think this was the biggest tribute that came to me from my father,” she says.

She adds, “I don’t think I would need a special day to talk about my father because I think 365 days would be less. For me, like for every girl, her first hero is her father and the same is with me as well. For me, the concept of hero worship started with my father and soon I was fully trained and looked upon by him.”

She had always wanted to emulate her father, she says, adding, “I still remember, I always wanted to become like him. He was a very straightforward, honest, professionally very committed person to whatever he did. He came from a very humble family because he was the eldest son so he took the responsibility of his mother and his father. He came to Mumbai when he was 13 and worked so hard that he settled his entire family. So, for me, he was always a person that I looked up to and what I’ve always wanted to become in life, and I am so fortunate that I could follow in his footsteps because he taught me important things like to keep working hard and don’t expect returns, they will come to you. He taught me to never follow money, but to follow talent because if you are talented, money will follow talent. He told me to never look up and say ‘God I don’t have these things in my life’, instead say, ‘Thank you God, you at least gave me the basic necessities of my life.’ So all this made me a very self-contained person.”

She adds, “I lost him last year. And since then, there has been a very big vacuum in my life. But that was the day that I promised him before he left this house I said that I will continue to walk on the path that you dreamt for me. And till I meet you again, I promise you that. I shall never ever betray that you have laid down for me and I shall continue to do that. It’s not a moment that I don’t think about my father.”

Talking about another thing her father taught her, Sudha says, “Another beautiful characteristic that I want to definitely mention about my dad is that he never minced words and that’s exactly the qualities that have come into me. Yes. Many times, it has not got very positive results because sometimes people don’t like it when you’re too blunt and too open. But my father always said, ‘You don’t have to satisfy and make the world happy. When you go to sleep at night, you should have a contended undisturbed sleep. And if you’re able to sleep like that, which means that you have done no harm to anybody.’ So, I think that is another very important characteristic of my father that I have imbibed.”

Sudha has donned many avatars. She is a dancer, actor and even a motivational speaker, and she enjoys them all.

“The point is that I don’t like being given choices as all of them have their own definition. I love dancing on stage and that is the reason for my existence. I started as a dancer and am always connected to the stage. When you’re performing and people clap and cheer for you, it’s an amazing feeling. As an actress, there are certain roles that you always want to play in real life and when you’re actually playing it on screen you enjoy it all the more. Like I always wanted to be a doctor, but I could never become a doctor. There are certain negative aspects within me that would never come out maybe because of my upbringing and culture. But when I’m playing a negative role, somewhere that dominant-negative element in me comes out and helps me to perform well. I also love motivational speaking because my life has been a big lesson for me and a lot of people. It has inspired many around the globe. When I interact with the audience and then they come up with a question and answer session it is very interesting. They come up with such unimaginable questions, you know the audiences are so smart today,” she ends.

When asked about her experience of anchoring a show for the very first time, Sudha says, “With Crime Alert’s first season, the channel gave me the opportunity and also pushed me to become a producer. That was something new that I explored. And this season, I got an opportunity to become the host of the show. Anchoring is also something that I hadn’t tried before. I only saw myself as a dancer and an actor but to be a host is also a wonderful experience.”

Crime Alert is a show that depicts real-life criminal incidents. When asked Sudha why she chose Crime Alert as her first anchoring project, she said, “Crime is a subject that needs to be looked at in-depth since the percentage is on the rise. We have become insensitive to what we read. What we visualize, we find a connection. Here, we are using entertainment as an eye-opener to make people aware of what is happening around them. Through this show, we want to tell people that as citizens, they too must take responsibility to understand the crime and talk about it. We can’t be dependent on the police all the time. We can’t turn a blind eye to the crime taking place in the country because we are personally not affected. Hence, I chose to do the show and make the audience aware of such stories.

Crime Alert aims at creating awareness amongst viewers, from means of protecting themselves to recognizing crime and criminal activities. It showcases true events in a dramatic and exceptional manner and makes the citizens alert against criminal activities. “Crime Alert” airs at 12.30pm from Monday to Saturday only on Dangal TV.

Dangal TV is available on leading cable networks and DTH platforms – DD Free Dish (CHN NO 29), Tata Sky (CHN NO 177), Airtel (CHN NO 125), Dish TV (CHN NO 119) Sun Direct (328) and Videocon D2H (CHN NO 106)
