The show, which launched on MTV on 31 July 2016, is set to have its final round in the month of October.
The girls are just excited to perform in the finale round and they share their conversations with the team. Shalmali Kholgade thought that her Angels of Rock travel experience was very different from the travelling opportunities she received till now.
She just has fun on playing Khokho here and regarding the issue, she says to media that, “Shooting for Angels of Rock had us living and interacting with the locals — an experience that filled me with buckets of emotions. It was overwhelming to watch the landscapes changing as we rode through the different states and peeped into the lives of the women achievers in each place we stopped at. India has so much to offer; even a lifetime wouldn’t suffice to explore it”.
For Anusha Mani consider the show to give her life changing experiences and she added that “My experience of travelling through India has been spectacular.
From meeting such warm and lovely people to seeing different cultures to seeing the landscape change, it was truly an enriching experience. I always believed that women are stronger than perceived and are capable of a lot more but to see so many other women believe that too and make a difference was truly inspiring”.
“I would say it has in parts. We knew at the onset that we were going to meet women achievers but it was another layer added when we interacted with them and got an understanding of why they chose their respective professions. There was a common denominator amongst them all — service to society. It wasn’t so much individualistic success or power that drove these women but in view of a better society for others like them to live within”, Shalmali further added.
“From having a personal experience of riding a 250 kg bike to witnessing the experience of women who fight fires, who run a village as a sarpanch, who ride autos for a living, who play a male-oriented sport. It taught me that a lot of things I have heard or seen or learnt as a child were untrue. ‘Tu ladki hai, Tu nahi kar payegi’ is something I will never believe in ever again”, Akasa Singh said so to motivate the feminism.
