Bollywood actress Mugdha Godse, who has made her television debut as a judge in a Marathi talent show says it has given her an opportunity to go back to her Maharashtrian roots.

Mugdha, a former model who debuted on celluloid with Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Fashion', said her school education was in Marathi medium.

"As a young girl, I struggled to speak English. Now, I am struggling to speak Marathi. This is the irony of life," she said admitting that in the glitz and glamour of the fashion world, her fluency in her mother tongue had suffered.

Initially, she was undecided on doing television but when she saw the auditions of folk artists from different parts of the state, she decided she had to be part of the show on Zee Marathi.

Talking to reporters, Mugdha, who hails from Pune, said the main aim of the show 'Marathi Paaul Padte Pudhe' was to provide a platform to folk artists who are driven by passion for the art, to showcase their skills.

"Competition and elimination is just part of the show," she added.

According to the 24-year-old actress, two episodes of the show have been telecast so far and the feedback has been good.

"TV is about reaching out to the people, especially in rural areas who have not seen my movies," she said, adding that the show was modelled on the lines of reality show 'India's Got Talent'.

Speaking about her wardrobe on the show, Mugdha said earlier she thought she would wear traditional clothes, but decided otherwise as she was taken on the show for being a Marathi girl who had carved a niche for herself in the fashion industry.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
