The team of the Marathi film Tighi recently spent a memorable and inspiring day at Tikhat Meeth Foods, a women-run cloud kitchen that empowers women by providing employment opportunities from their homes. The visit brought together cinema and social purpose in a meaningful way.
Directed by Jijivisha Kale, Tighi has been released widely and is receiving a warm response from audiences. The film stars veteran actress Bharati Achrekar along with Neha Pendse-Bais and Sonali Kulkarni. Their performances as strong, self-respecting and emotionally resilient women have connected strongly with viewers.
Interestingly, the spirit portrayed in the film came alive during the team’s visit to Tikhat Meeth Foods. The cloud kitchen is not just a food business. It is an initiative designed to help women become financially independent while working from their homes. The determination and courage of the women running the kitchen mirrors the journey of the three protagonists in Tighi, who are seen facing their personal struggles with strength and dignity.
During the visit, Bharati Achrekar stepped into the kitchen and joined the cooking process, happily lending a helping hand. Neha Pendse took charge of packaging the food, while Sonali Kulkarni and director Jijivisha Kale worked alongside the women managing the kitchen. The atmosphere was filled with conversations, laughter and heartfelt exchanges.
For the actors and the women working at Tikhat Meeth Foods, the day became an opportunity to share experiences and encourage each other. The interaction created a warm and supportive environment where stories of perseverance and self-belief were exchanged.
One particularly touching aspect that moved the Tighi team was learning that a portion of the cloud kitchen’s profits goes towards providing meals for orphaned girls. This commitment to social responsibility added greater meaning to the initiative and strengthened the emotional connection between the film’s message and the work being done by the women behind the kitchen.
The meeting between the on-screen Tighi and these determined real-life women created a powerful moment of solidarity. Both sides drew inspiration from each other’s journeys. What began as a simple visit soon turned into a celebration of resilience, warmth and shared purpose.
For the team of Tighi, the day at Tikhat Meeth Foods became more than a promotional activity. It served as a reminder that stories of courage and independence exist not only on screen but also in everyday life.
