The recognition as a renowned Marathi actor, Prasad Oak, is something that I used to dream of.
It has been more than two decades now when I started my struggle as an actor in the Marathi industry.
I am a true Puneite, and the first few years in Mumbai were full of tuffle, hardships and sleepless nights; but diligence and extreme passion towards my goal never let me give up.
Today, when I look back to what I have achieved through all these years, I see an experience of more than 29 Marathi plays, over 74 daily soaps, and around 93 Marathi & Hindi films tapping my back! Although sounds quite unbelievable to me now, this is what the past more than 20 years has given me in this industry.
Adhantar, Naandi, Ranangan, Bechki Wada Chirebandi, and many other plays strengthened me as an actor; whereas Bandini, Damini, Wadalvaat Pimpal Paan and Avaghachi Sansar were crucial in building up an efficient daily soap artist.
After a stable career at theatre, television and silver screen, Zee Marathi's celebrity singing reality show turned out to be a milestone for me.
I won the show title to become the first-ever Anijkyatara, and after that, Zee Marathi's first-ever brand ambassador.
And then, there was no look back!
