Stars aligned at Mumbai’s Rubaru Calendar unveiling, where Jamie Lever delivered unfiltered thoughts on the project and Bollywood icons. In a revealing IANS interview, the comedian-actress unpacked the shoot’s essence and her professional insights.
‘It felt revolutionary – my first no-makeup calendar shoot,’ Jamie revealed. ‘Forget the glamour; we embodied authentic women from all walks, the ones who brave the world, work tirelessly, and stand on their own feet. Amit ji deserves immense credit for this makeup-free realism.’
Preparation was no small feat, she noted. ‘Behind the glamour lies exhaustive research, dedication, and intent. This project spotlights hidden societal narratives that Amit ji brilliantly addresses.’
Jamie got personal about comedy: ‘Laughing is simple; evoking laughter is a grind. Over a decade in, I’m perpetually a student, pushing boundaries without shortcuts.’
Her admiration for Farah Khan and Salman Khan shone through. ‘Farah ma’am is hosting gold. Salman sir’s longevity stems from unwavering popularity – no one can touch that. His absences highlight why we need Farah ma’am’s flair.’
As the calendar hits shelves, it promises to challenge conventions, celebrating unsung heroines in a visually compelling narrative.
