MUMBAI: Vaishnavi Macdonald is a brilliant actress.
She has been seen in a number of projects and is currently also seen Meet. While we often come across some very fun loving posts of the actress on her social media handle, we were surprised to see a post which indicated Vaishnavi’s birthday today.
To wish her a happy birthday today, we connected with Vaishnavi and spoke at length about her journey in the film and TV industry among many other light hearted things…

I would like to know your journey in this industry?
I think I am been blessed, and when I think that I am done with work and all but there is something that god makes me keep going, I try doing everything else in my life but once an actor always an actor, and T.V. industry people has been very nice to me.
I started with movies but then it’s a different atmosphere and I am grateful for my film career but then television is something where I got my place the recognition, and the love of the audience and in television also Zee is super close, I have worked with every channel but Zee has been very instrumental, if you see my career graph it starts with Chingari, Gharana, and then they give me one of the biggest break which was Anokha Bandhan, after that many shows were there and now Meet, it’s been a long journey with Zee.
Talking about films did it just happened or you had put some special efforts?
It happened just like that, Laadla was the permanent movie which became a super hit and got me recognition at that time with Anil Kapoor, so I was said that as newbie you are just trying to work so I went to some producers and Anil Ji and Nitin Manmohan Ji passed by and they saw me and called my secretary that we want this girl, a new face for the song they somehow convinced my mom to do the song, see I didn’t go looking for it, that’s how it all started.
Do you feel like actors are more accepted in television more than in films?
Definitely actors are more accepted in television and more appreciated also and kind of popularity you get with television is amazing, and films has its own place, people know you by your original name and here you are know by your character, popularity wise television is not far behind, it’s more respectable place to be, there is place for everyone, and there are so many shows and channels happening so there is work for everybody.
The only complain I have with films is that I don’t see much female actors other than top heroines do much, television is where female character gets her face and that’s what I like about television.
Which is the most beautiful part about your marriage?
It’s been 23 years! We work on it like we give each other time and space and we plan holiday and we keep the romance alive.
What was your first salary?
It was hardly anything when you are new in the movies it was a lumpsum package of about 20-25 thousand, I shopped and when you buy something for the first time it’s a new high and I bought something for my family.
Well said Vaishnavi! Tellychakkar.com wishes you a very happy birthday. Have a blessed one!
