I found Aruna Irani really a great person who experiences life so easily, routinely. Candid, full of life, natural with right words and expressions. My love and regards to this lady. 💕 Even at 76, her voice, expressions are quite like that of a good actor. And above all, she is so practical in her personal life and having respect for the sensitivity of others too.
She’s a living Legend having worked in more than 500 films…a fantastic dancer, outstanding performer and great artist 🙌♥️God bless her with a long life 🙏
Fake people fake talk Kud k bachcho k liye marriage hi chahiye woh bhi 1st hand se 😂 married man se nhi .hema ki kissi beti ne agar married person ka proposal laya hoga toh hema ne mana hi kiya hoga ...
Marriage decision is obsoletaly correct, Aruna ji, My hubby is huge fan of Aruna Ji❤ Your role with Govinda as Bua G, was Fabulous 🎉 You' r Perfect, If you' ll do any project in future, My hubby wants will do work with you at Free of Cost 🇮🇳🙏
Thank you Smita Prakash for this interview. I have always wondered why strikingly beautiful and talented Aruna Irani was mostly given negative roles or secondary ones. She is present in lot of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's movies. Very very attractive in Qurbani. Extremely beautiful in Mili. The last movie of hers I watched in a cinema hall was a thriller. Aruna Irani paired with Danny Denzongpa .
ANI and Smita ji keeps surprising us!! Such a lovely discussion with Aruna ji....have always been a fan. Such a brave personality. Even after these many years struggles still full of life and remembers those anecdotes very well and expresses them with a child like enthusiasm. Such an inspiration. Wish you more health and happiness. As always great homework done by Smita ji and Neeraj. Happy to see this interview.
She really is such a legend & has a special place in the history of cinema that no lead actress even comes close to . Aruna ji , Bindu , both a league in themselves. Well done ANI & Smita ji , thanks 🙏.
Wow! She is fabulous 🎉 She mentioned her age during Covid she was at higher risk, but looks like she has maintained her health so well. She is currently working as mum to Sanjay duty.. but she can pass off as his sister (maybe even younger one) So happy to hear this podcast. 👏🏼
The indefatigable Aruna Irani at 77 puts most of us who think we are done in our 50s to shame! Thanks Smita for this opportunity to listen to her first hand. What a personality! God bless her and her family 💐💐👍🙏
When I saw Aruna Irani ji before me in Costco Store in Brampton, Canada, I was so surprised that I could not say more words than wishing her and she was all smile.--Gurnam Kaur
Everyone says how graceful, strong and epic she is, but imagine in those days, for those decades from age 15 to 55, how much she tolerated each and everyday, the dogmas, stigmas, objectification, lies about her, betrayal and negative name calling?!? But her focus on work, tenacity, ability to strive and humility was her on her plate. She kept her independence and focused so tight on her plate and not other's plate, kept a tight grip on work how ever big or small roles she got with gratitude. But those 4 decades of her life must have been so tough. Now she is relaxed with that same sparkle in her eyes and bright smile. If anyone saw into her soul, I think they will see serious battle scars! 🤔
Bollywood Actresses and Actors before the 80's were very humble and lovable. That's why even today they are loved . Arunaji is a very bubbly personality and doesn't carry any illwill towards anybody. I can't believe that this is the same person who was the cruel Mother in Beta.Such Actresses are not made anymore. God bless Arunji with good health and peace. Thank you Smita for bringing this Legend on your show. We want more Legends on your show.
I don't agree with you Smita Prakash that women of our generation (I am 61), used to hand over their earnings to the men in their family to manage. I think it happened mostly in North Indian and South Indian homes. But it wasn't that way in Maharashtra and Gujarat and Goa even during our mother's time. I have handled all my finances from the time I started earning at age 21, apart from making a fixed contribution to family expenses. My husband was all thumbs and 2 left feet where finances or maths was concerned. So he asked only for pocket money and handle the finances by myself. Since he passed away 22 yrs ago, I have earned, planned for, created assets and raised my 2 kids quite well. Even now, I don't take anything from my kids earnings. I run household expenses from my pension and still manage to add to my retirement funds, out of choice. It's become a habit after working and earning for the better part of my life.
Sorry to disagree with Aruna Irani , that marriage is just a paper when love decreases . No I’m marriage you will have different phases , those of high and low , then kids bind you even if you mentally and emotionally driven away and the last phase is of that feeling of togetherness and friendliness , security and rights and right to being in a family . This is what marriage is about . You cannot look at marriage only as always wanting to be in each others arms or in bed . Emotions are not everything that marriage makes , it is responsibility of being for the other , and being even when you tend to deviate , not allowing oneself to deviate , which is very easy at one point , but no commitment is something that matters … No excuse for any extra marital unless you divorce for reasons of not feeling like being with your partner not because you fell for another woman , which is only want of excitement
You as a women should know why you entered into the life of a man who is already married. You are also responsible when you knowingly get into a relationship with a married man. You will also be blamed by that man’s legacy wedded wife. You are not his wife. She is.
Aruna nailed 'married life' - marriage is not security love is security. If love gone, marriage gone. Golden words for today's generation. Worth displaying in family Courts.
What a charming personality Aruna Irani is and her story is very inspiring and heart touching. She has answered all questions bravely with total honesty. Wish her a happy, healthy and productive life ahead.
Such a wonderful lady and reaffirms my understanding of her as how I imagined. I always wondered how these women would have gone through their life and today she opened those pages of life to show us how to live life. Such a graceful lady, love her for bringing such lovely characters to us. Life would not be the same without her dedication to those characters
Incredible! Age 77🙄. Absolute zest for life. What pre-conceived notions we have of people!! You have the ability to draw out the 'real' person. Look forward to watching all your shows...🙏⚘️
Such a pleasure to watch this session, i knew nothing about Aruna ji, such a living legend is she, so inspirational, so motivating...I wonder why industry never gave her the recognition she actually deserved, hats off to you Ma'am, God bless you 🙏
First I thought that I will get bored but don't know how 1 hour 19 mints got over 😢 she is such an amazing personality ❤ so sweet and down to earth person. Superb podcast❤
I have never seen an interview as great as this one with a film actress. Even the great emotional actor Dileep Kumar would not give such a truly emotional and expressive interview, though nobody could beat him as an articulate and versatile speaker. What a straightforward , honest and down to earth approach by Aruna Ji. Obviously, she must be as straight in her private life. A woman with great heart, highly elevated consciousness and that is why Universal Intelligence allotted her a role of looking after 7 sisters and a brother. You are given a burden in life only to an extent you are able to shoulder. She shouldered her part of the job and did it to the complete satisfaction and expectation of the universal consciousness. How nicely she expressed the whole life drama is unique and only few can do it. She is so tansparent, clear and honest. What others will take ages to open up to others, she does it in moments, with great sentiment and control as well. I could see that everything Aruna was saying was sinking into Smita Ji who was feeling perplexed at the integrity and straightforwardness of a woman that too from the Glamour World. When she said that I could have not been the present Aruna Irani, if I had not my sisters and brother whom I bought up with love and responsibility. This is a great lesson for life, provided we have the necessary consciousness to understand it. My hats off to Aruna Ji. What a great lady, God bless her. Smita Ji conducted the interview nicely and was composed all along.
Namasthe Smitha ji. A rare and a lovely interview with Aruna Ji. You guys have contributed enormously for its success by posting good questions, not intervening during her replies and allowing full freedom to express oneself. Kudos to you guys forward r this special interview. May God bless 🙌 you all with lot of opportunities to meet such lovely human beings.
Always loveable person Arunaji...bas unko sunte hi rahe .. interview kabhi khatm na ho...God bless her ..love you Arunaji ...n thanks for Smita ji..very nice interview...🙏
Meeting with veterans always evoke nostalgia. Thanks Smita ji for making an appointment with Aruna Irani ji 🙏 Aruna ji has a zeal for life, her fighter attitude, tough childhood and a child like enthusiasm with lively expressions are joy to watch for. Thanks Smita Ma'am for bringing out her life journey to common man like us. Your interviewing skills are really remarkable. Knowing her story made me emotional too. Hats off to the lady
I could never have imagined the hardships she had to go thru. She is SO talented and versatile. Grew up watching her and loving every moment of her screen presence. God bless her!🙏💐

Spoken from the heart ❤️! What an honest , affable lady you are Arunaji! What an incredible journey ! You are a woman with such grace and spirit! Beautiful interview! Smita. Thank you
Aruna ji you are so nice with lots of positiveness.... I liked it the way you took each turn in the life and moved ahead.. I Wish you good health through out the journey...
Inspiring energy at this age too ! She has lived a complete life cycle facing every differnt stage of life. Has got a complete understanding of what she is expected to do and what she has to deliver
Such a beautiful conversation Aruna ji is such positive person with a happy smile.enjoyed listening to her.Smita you look so good in a saree with Bindi..
Seen a lot of her movies the earliest memories of watching her in cinema hall are of Bobby as a seven year old. The crush 😍 continues. Lovely personality.
She has always been my favorite...thank you so much for doing an episode with her..500 films yet i feel she never got her real due from industry...doesn't look 77 at all!!! Still looks young & evergreen❤️❤️ love you Arunaji😘😘😘
She doesn't talk like a 77 year old...as if a 15 year old talking and beaming with energy. And she has suffered too much to have actually enjoyed it...she is still lonely.
Thanks Smita Mam, for getting one of my all time favourite actress Aruna Irani Mam.Entire conversation was giving a positive vibes.Not a single place where anyone can feel any pain or grief.Thanks once again.She is a gem of lady.
Thank you for the video, ani team. No human being can ever experience everything in life.they may experience several hardships in life. Every being has different start points , ups, and downs .
Aruna Irani is such a honest and humble human being. She spoke truth to power which is very rare today. Simple living and high thinking. All the celebrities living are so fake today. Just like famous Amitabh Bachchan who people like did not have the guts to speak up about Sushant Singh Rajput. Hats off to Aruna. We feel your pain. Thanks Smitaji. Enjoyed your podcast.
What an awesome episode??!! There can't be any person like Arunaji. I, as a child, always imitated her dance moves and loves her acting skills in any and all roles. Today I saw her zeal for life, her child like expressions, her going down the memory lane moments, her struggles (was actually crying listening to her) her unbounded love for her family...she is so beautiful inward and more than beautiful outward...At 77, she is so graceful and beautiful (not finding any other word here). Thank you Smitaji. This is the BEST episode I have seen till date.
Living legend who epitomises grace, honesty, and true gold hearted human being who let-go to sacrifice her own happiness and desires to be a mother and wife so the rest of the family could prosper and get education and married lives - salute you lady 🙏😋
Smithaji Thankyou for such a amazing biography of legendary actress and most versatile actress we have seen in Hindi cinema industry. Very honest and down to earth lady. But I was not aware of her hardship in life and how much she had to go through in life. She bore hardship but that made her very strong person and had a great personality. God bless her and bless you too. Thankyou. Greeting from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤❤❤
Yet another great podcast. Aruna Ji, has a very relatable life for people of her age(like my father's family). Thanks Smitha ji loved your Podcasts. I hope to see some Podcasts on business family members like Tata, Godrej, Premji etc. Thank you
Arunaji is a great actress. She has done all kind of rolls. A living legend who deserves Dada saheb Phalke award. God give you more and more work and we see Arunaji more and more.
´bhai yeh bahut emotional interview hai I had to see in breaks, the image of Arunaij we have and the ectual lady behind this with all the struggles in life, she is brave
She is marathi actress for us. And can't believe she was Sindhi. So proud and so much love. diverse background people makes our Maharashtra more beautiful.
You are right. The Irani community originally come from Iran.. And the Parsees too all descendants of Persia who arrived in Indiá To escape persecution
Ma'am, do you agree with the statement that married men have to be careful about their affairs and not the "other women"? Very convenient. Shouldn't women also have some values and not encourage married men?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 for Aruna Ji for always having a warm smile n being a super humane human being . Have passed her so many times during her shoots n different cities, and she was always smiling her warm smile
