‘विक्रम गोखले के साथ काम करने का मेरा सपना अधूरा रह गया’ ! सिंटा द्वारा रखी गई शोक-सभा में छलका शबाना आज़मी का दर्द !

फिल्मी पर्दे के चहेते, अभिनय की खान और दर्शकों के दिल को छू लेनेवाले लीजेंड अभिनेता श्री विक्रम गोखले आज हमारे बीच नही हैं लेकिन उनके द्वारा किये गए अद्भुत अदाकारी के नजराने फिल्मी इतिहास के पन्नों में सुनहरे अक्षरों में दर्ज हो चुके हैं। सिंटा ने हाल ही में दिवंगत विक्रम जी के आत्मा की शांति के लिए मुम्बई के इस्कॉन मंदिर में एक शोक सभा का आयोजन किया जहा पर विक्रम गोखले जी की पत्नी ऋशाली गोखले के अलावा शबाना आज़मी,जॉनी लीवर, सिंटा जनरल सेक्रेटरी अमित बहल,सिंटा खजिनदार अभय भार्गव, संजय भाटिया,स्मिता जयकर, गजेंद्र चौहान,वरुण वडोला,राजेश्वरी सचदेव,रवि झांकल,सुधीर पांडे,दीपक काज़ीर केजरीवाल,अनंग देसाई और सिंटा एग्जीक्यूटिव कमिटी के मेंबर्स मौजूद थे।
डोमिनिक लुकर, जनरल सेक्रेटरी ऑफ फ़िया (FIA) ने एकजुटता दिखाते हुए ग्लोबल यूनियन के पक्ष से कहा कि,” इंटरनेशनल फेडरेशन ऑफ एक्टर्स(FIA), परफॉर्मर्स यूनियंस,गिल्डस और प्रोफेशनल एसोसिएशन का 25 देशों में प्रतिनिधित्व करती हैं और हमे खेद हैं राष्ट्रीय पुरष्कार विजेता श्री विक्रम गोखले,सिंटा के प्रेजिडेंट और बॉलीवुड के बेहद प्रतिभाशाली अभिनेता के गुजर जाने का। 
 भारतीय फिल्म उद्योग में एक उत्कृष्ट परिवार से आनेवाले, विक्रम गोखले, अविश्वसनीय रूप से एक प्रतिभाशाली अभिनेता थे, जो अपने उम्दा अभिनय के दम पर भारत और विदेश में मराठी थिएटर के साथ-साथ हिंदी फिल्मों और टेलीविजन में सैकड़ों भूमिकाओं के लिए प्रसिद्ध और सम्मानित थे। अभिनय का खजाना विक्रम गोखले जी, एक्टिंग की एक पाठशाला थे। एक ऐसे अपार सागर थे जिसकी एक बून्द के स्पर्श से ही नई प्रतिभाओं को अभिनय के कई आयाम सीखने मिलते। एक मेहनती और पूर्णतावादी अभिनेता, उन्होंने अपनी प्रतिभा को बेहतरीन शिल्प के लिए तराशा, शानदार प्रदर्शन दिया जो आने वाले समय के लिए सभी की याद में रहेगा।
विक्रम गोखले, एक दृढ़ सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता और एक निस्वार्थ इंसान भी थे, जो अपना अधिकांश समय और संसाधन जरूरतमंद लोगों और साथी कलाकारों की मदद करने में लगा देते थे। सिंटा प्रेजिडेंट होने की वजह से वो सिंटा के हर एक प्रतिनिधि के लिए आदर्श थे और रहेंगे। उनके दूरदर्शी नेतृत्व में, CINTAA वास्तव में एक समावेशी और प्रतिनिधि संघ बन गया है, जो भारत में सभी कलाकारों को उनके हक और अधिकार के लिए हमेशा बंधित और कार्यरत रहते हैं।
सिंटा के जनरल सेक्रेटरी अमित बहल ने कहा, ”विक्रम जी ने हमारी इंडस्ट्री पर एक गहरी छाप छोड़ी है।सिंटा के अध्यक्ष के रूप में उनके यादगार कार्यकाल में हमने साथ में खूब मस्ती की। वो ऐसी शक्सियत थे जो बहुत सच्चे और सरल थे। विक्रम जी मेरे लिए पिता समान थे। जब मेरे पिता की मृत्यु हुई तो दुख के क्षणों में वह शक्ति के स्तंभ की तरह खड़े थे।  बड़े से बड़े स्टार के भी आगे उन्होंने अपने अद्भुत अभिनय का दम दिखाया। ऐसे महान प्रतिभाशाली अभिनेता को मेरा कोटि कोटि नमन और मेरे ,सिंटा परिवार, विश्व के हर कोने से जुड़े लोगों की ओर से हम विक्रम गोखले जी को श्रद्धांजलि देते हैं। ।”
भावुक हुई शबाना आजमी ने कहा, “जब भी मैं विक्रम गोखले जी से मिलती थी, तो मैं उनसे केवल एक सवाल पूछती थी, “हम साथ में कब काम कर रहे हैं?”  वह हमेशा मुस्कुराते और जवाब देते थे, “जब भी आप कहें।”  मुझे इस बात का बहुत दुख है कि विक्रम जी के साथ काम करने का ये सपना मेरा अधूरा रह गया”।
 एक्टर परेश रावल ने कहा कि,”विक्रम गोखले का नाम अकेले ही मुझे खुशी की एक जबरदस्त भावना देता है। इतना प्यारा, दयालु और सम्मानित आदमी। उनकी उपस्थिति ने हमें सुरक्षित महसूस कराया। उन्होंने कभी किसी बात और काम को किसी पर थोपा नहीं, केवल एक अनुभवी अभिनेता के रूप में हमारा मार्गदर्शन किया। मैंने थिएटर और फिल्म में उनके प्रदर्शन देखे हैं, और उनके साथ काम करना चाहता था, लेकिन मैं मुख्य रूप से गुजराती थिएटर में काम करता हूं, इसलिए हमें कभी भी मंच पर एक साथ काम करने का मौका नहीं मिला। लेकिन फिर, दे दना दन और भूल भुलैया आयी और हमने एक साथ काम किया। उनके पास एक बहुत ही राजसी और तीव्र आभा थी”।
 सुभाष घई ने आगे कहा, “विक्रम गोखले अपने आप में एक संस्था थे। उन्होंने भविष्य की पीढ़ियों को प्रेरित करने वाले अविस्मरणीय कार्यों को पीछे छोड़ दिया है। विक्रम जी एक अभिनेता के रूप में सिर्फ एक प्रेरणा ही नहीं हैं , वह एक इंसान के रूप में प्रेरणादायक थे। भगवान उन्हें आशीर्वाद दें और उनकी आत्मा को शांति दे।”
 विक्रम गोखले, भारतीय सिनेमा के दिग्गज, जिनका 77 वर्ष की आयु में कई अंग विफलता के कारण निधन हो गया, उनकी कई उल्लेखनीय फिल्में थीं, जिनमें हम दिल दे चुके सनम, अग्निपथ, नटरंग, खुदा गवाह शामिल हैं। उन्होंने इस उद्योग में एक शून्य छोड़ दिया है जो हमेशा मौजूद रहेगा।

A prayer meeting in fond remembrance of veteran Artistes Vikram Gokhle was held at ISKCON Mumbai and was graced by the late actor’s wife Vrushali Gokhle as well as actors of the likes of Shabana Azmi, Johnny Lever, CINTAA General Secretary Amit Behl, CINTAA Treasurer Abhay Bhargava, Sanjay Bhatia, Smita Jaykar, Gajendra Chauhan, Varun Badola, Rajeshwari Sachdev, Ravi Jhankal, Sudhir Pandey, Deepak Qazir Kejriwal, Anang Desai, and the CINTAA Executive Committee Members among others.
Dominick Luquer, General Secretary, FIA expressed his solidarity on behalf of the global union. “The International Federation of Actors (FIA), representing performers’ unions, guilds and professional associations in more than 25 countries around the world, mourns the passing of National Film Award winner Vikram Gokhle, President of the Cine & TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA) and one of Bollywood’s greatest actors of all time.
Coming from a family with a strong foothold in the Indian film industry, Vikram was an incredibly talented actor, celebrated and respected in his country and abroad for hundreds of roles in Marathi theatre as well as Hindi films and television. A hard-worker and perfectionist, he honed his talent to the finest of crafts, delivering stunning performances that will remain in the memory of all for times to come.
Vikram was also a convinced social activist and a selfless human being, spending much of his own time and resources to help people in need and fellow performers. He was and will continue to be a role model for us all. Under his visionary leadership, CINTAA has grown to become a truly inclusive and representative union, working tirelessly to improve terms and conditions of all artists in India and open to the world.
On behalf of our global membership, we extend our heartfelt sympathies to his close family, and to our fellow performers members of CINTAA.”
Averred Amit Behl, “Vikram ji has left an indelible mark on our industry. We had great fun together, in his memorable tenure as President of CINTAA. He was someone who was more genuine than genuine can be. On behalf of my entire Executive Committee and the Cine Artistes Welfare Trust, I express how we miss this amazing man, this phenomenal actor and human being who was still a child at heart. He put even the biggest Star to shame when he came into the frame. Such was his persona. Vikram ji was like a father to me. He was a pillar of strength in the moments of grief when my father died. This day is a tribute to him.”
Said an emotional Shabana Azmi, “Whenever I met Vikram Gokhle ji, I used to only ask him one question, “When are we working together?” He used to always smile and reply, “Whenever you say.” I am very sad that this dream of wanting to work with Vikram ji has remained unfulfilled.
“Vikram Gokhle’s name alone brings me an overwhelming sense of happiness. Such a sweet, compassionate and respected man. His presence made us feel safe. He never imposed, only guided us as the experienced actor he is. I have seen his performances in theatre and film, and wanted to work with him, but since I mainly work in Gujarati theatre, we never got the chance to work together on stage. But then came De Dhana Dhan and Bhool Bhulaiyaa, where we worked morning, evening and night. He had a very majestic and intense aura, and that reflected in his interactions with each of us,” said Paresh Rawal.
Added Subhash Ghai, “Vikram Gokhle was an institution in himself. He has left behind unforgettable works that inspire future generations. Vikram ji is not just an inspiration as an actor. He was as inspiring as a human being. God bless him!”
Vikram Gokhle, the stalwart of Indian cinema, who passed away at 77 due to multiple organ failure, had many notable films, including Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Agneepath, Natrang, Khuda Gawah among others. He has left a void in this industry that will always remain.

About Aparna Deshpande 

A picture speaks a thousand words,’ goes a saying that Aparna Deshpande seems to prove absolutely right. A natural dancer with vivid imagination, Aparna, at a very young age, with limited scope for communication in a regular way, began to immerse in the world of colours that threw up enchanting visual stories. Supportive parents –Kalpana and D P Nerkar – identified her innate talent, at a very young age, and encouraged her to explore and experiment. Aparna, post her schooling, pursued a diploma course in interior designing and decoration from the noted L S Raheja College, Mumbai. 

She practiced painting on various surfaces and played with Japanese papers in creating pop-up greeting cards by employing various permutations and combinations. Her journey into the world of art continued with cartoon illustrations, landscape and portrait paintings, she has now cocooned out of and into abstract and surrealism and is now making her own mark in these art forms. Comfortable with oils, acrylics, watercolours etc, Aparna finds her paintings to be the manifestations of her inner core and an expression of collective experience. Her paintings, at times, are projections of the unique feelings stored and imprinted in her heart. Lively bursts of passionate colours and bold strokes with delicate renditions in her paintings are a reflection of her unreserved, genial personality.

“God has infused Aparna with immense ability to speak through her paintings,” said celebrated cartoonist Mangesh Tendulkar. “The almighty has shut one door but opened a vast roof of aesthetics and creative talent to manifest and spread joy.” 

Aparna paints to spread positive message in this world. Aparna’s collection titled “ Melodies of Nature “, is a beautiful amalgamation of nature, emotions and the divine. Her paintings start off with youthful shapes and colours and transform into a novel of thoughts. Her creative paintings and photo realistic pictures stand out for their size and quality. . Aparna orchestrates multiple figures and forms from nature, on the canvas, to give birth to another larger forms with underlying concepts. Her unique arrangements of human and natural elements mutate into mesmerizing treat for the eyes. One truly feels the need to keep revisiting her paintings, only to obtain a different perspective each time.
