The Night Manager Season 2: Tillotama Shome Talks About Playing the Character ‘Lipika’, Gives a Glimpse into Her Career Struggles
This week, the
second season of The Night Manager will debut soon on 30 June 2023 on Disney+
Hotstar. The show, which also stars Sobhita Dhulipala, Aditya Roy Kapur, and
Anil Kapoor, generated a lot of buzz in the Bollywood news. The wit and
intensity of the Bollywood actress Tillotama Shome's character were greatly
admired. The actor revealed that her character Lipika will experience new
things in this new episode as she is made to feel insecure and subjugated by
her seniors. The last time viewers saw her, she persuaded Shaan of her
outrageous plan. She now questions whether she made the best decision.
Shome will
wonder if she trusted the wrong person too much and if he is going rogue. The
Bollywood star said that she believes Lipika is an apt representation of most
of us, particularly women in professional settings where they must navigate the
boys club with humor and pure tenacity. As she recounted to Bollywood News, she
observed the character's way of tackling men's egos while maintaining dignity.
And she took it as a lesson for herself as well. Shome also said that she is
happy the show's best lines were given to her by the writers.
Shome cited
her own prior experiences with the Bollywood news when she claimed that her
perseverance allowed her to last in the business for more than 20 years. The
Bollywood celebrity said that she had more jobs now than she did in her 20s and
30s. She learned to be her best friend during the waiting period by having
patience and resilience. And Lipika possesses those traits as well. She has
been pursuing Shelly for years even though he is a behemoth and virtually
unreachable.
In a similar
vein, no one in Shome’s family is familiar with this line of work; they have
never offered any guidance. But she has persevered in it for years. To the
Bollywood news, the actress said that she refers to it as the force of
stubbornness rather than a miracle or magic. Whatever might happen, she knew
how not to budge. She credited the OTT platform for the same, sharing that
despite doing a lot of work over the years, few of her projects received
theatrical premieres.
Tillotama
stated to Bollywood News that most people in the nation were unable to access
her work when she was away from her house. It was strange that despite
extensive travel across the country and a secular upbringing, the woman's work
was never appreciated in India. Shome said that her career has survived because
of foreign film festivals and their generosity. The Bollywood actress considers
herself fortunate that she gets to play a variety of characters today, at this
time in her life and age.
There is a
certain level of playing and democracy, and there is no pressure from
theatrical releases, she continued. India is renowned as a star-obsessed
country, and in recent years, the biggest Bollywood stars have been appearing
on OTT platforms. However, the actor views this as a "lovely change"
because it has made people more courageous. Shome said that the pandemic was
difficult on producers and distributors and that everyone must learn to change
course moving forward.
She said to
the Bollywood news that it is an exciting time because it seems like everyone
is 'partying together'." There is room for everyone, and it appears that
there is no longer a distinction between mainstream and independent film. It
made her drowsy to listen to it. Each of us is merely an actor, and while some
may be more well-known than others, everyone is ultimately on the same
platform. Tillotama Shome recalled her darkest times in life and said they
included "many moments of deep despair."
She did,
however, have a supportive partner and parents as revealed to Bollywood news.
The actress explained that when you do not get a chance to use your creativity,
you start to wonder if it even exists, adding that her Buddhist practice had
helped get her through. The performer continued, stressing how crucial it was
to realize that she has a life aside from her Bollywood career. Many people are
willing to offer all their advice to someone weak and defenseless.
Shome said
that many people did think she was "too old" to be an actor when she
arrived in Mumbai, where she was already 30. The actress stated that some
people asked her to get cosmetic surgery to improve her appearance. Even though
she knew the advice was sound, it still felt odd. She may have had some
experiences but I was not ready to take on everything. She feels fairly hot and
joyful right now, at 44, and the Bollywood actress is looking forward to
getting older and playing other types of women’s characters. She also wants
that someone can find hope in her narrative.
The actor
ended by discussing how essential recognitions and awards are in life. Even
though Tillotama said she felt terrific, she had come to terms with the fact
that she was not being acknowledged. To the Bollywood news, she said that she
had won several awards abroad but not in India. And at that point, even though
she had every reason to be working, she was at her worst, and nobody wants to
work with someone angry, cynical, or filled with melancholy.
She never
wanted to return there because she was so angry. Today for the actress, it does
not matter if she does not get noticed or an award. She is aware that life has
ups and downs, like a wave. To sustain myself for a long time, Shome wants to
do activities that nourish her. She wants to work in this field till the day
she passes away, therefore wants to adopt an appropriate attitude and balance
it with taking care of her family, marriage, and interests.
