The glitzy Rubaru Calendar launch in Mumbai turned into a platform for heartfelt celebrity insights, with Jamie Lever leading the conversation. The multi-talented comedian-actress spoke exclusively to IANS, sharing behind-the-scenes stories from the shoot and her views on industry stalwarts.
Describing the shoot as a career milestone, Jamie said, ‘It was a refreshing departure from typical calendar photoshoots. No heavy makeup or fancy outfits – just genuine portrayals of everyday women. Kudos to Amit ji for this bold vision, showing us bare-faced and real, representing those who hustle daily to make ends meet.’
She highlighted the meticulous groundwork: ‘Every frame is backed by weeks of preparation, research, and a clear mission. We’re aiming to spotlight societal issues often ignored, thanks to Amit ji’s keen eye.’
On her comedy journey, Jamie was introspective: ‘Entertaining through humor is an art that demands constant evolution. Twelve years in, and I’m still honing my craft with relentless effort – no quick fixes here.’
Turning to the hosts, she lauded Farah Khan’s hosting prowess and Salman Khan’s enduring appeal. ‘Farah ma’am shines as a host. As for Salman sir, his massive fanbase after all these years proves he’s in a league of his own – simply unbeatable. We miss him on breaks, stepping in with Farah ma’am’s magic.’
This calendar isn’t just art; it’s a social statement, poised to inspire and engage viewers with its authenticity.
