Pitta Kathalu Star Lakshmi Manchu visited Nigeria for the cultural experience despite her tight schedule and bookings! She is sharing it with her admirers as well.
Lakshmi Manchu, an actress and producer, is set to lead a new series on Disney Plus Hotstar called Yakshini. The actress has ventured into production after enjoying considerable success during her time in American TV series. Given that Lakshmi is also Mohan Babu’s daughter, leaving a remarkable legacy runs in the family. The celebrity is eager for Yakshini, her new web series, to premiere on Disney Plus Hotstar. Before the publication, though, the travel aficionado shares her eye-opening account of being taken aback by her level of competence when she visited the Nigerian market.
Lakshmi Manchu is a cultural aficionado as well, and she recently traveled to Lagos, Nigeria, to investigate and document the essence of its distinctive cultural scene. Lakshmi stated, “My goal was to find visually appealing markets where I could produce engaging video content.” I was appalled to learn of a human market where human body parts are sold, and I knew I couldn’t bear to watch that. Instead, I was told to visit the Lagos market, which is a more welcoming location for tourists to learn about Nigerian culture.
Lakshmi, who is renowned for her detailed storytelling and vivid storytelling, led us on a tour of the Lagos market that was full of thought-provoking observations and engrossing sights. She talked candidly about her intriguing and illuminating encounter. Despite the uniqueness of each culture, there are some unexpected parallels. For instance, the detailed woodwork brought to mind the artistry found throughout India. Talking to people will help you make links to your own life and culture, especially for Indians like us who naturally find a lot of things in common, whether it be family or national values.
Lakshmi did, however, also voice her unease with a few elements of the market. They approach animals differently than we do; to them, animals are an integral component of their everyday existence and economics, according to Lakshmi. On the other hand, we want to rescue these species, therefore it disturbed me to see things made from animal skins, tortoise shells, and tiger claws. It stood in sharp contrast to my convictions.
Lakshmi, however, explored the market with enthusiasm, joy, and vitality despite the unpleasant sights. I liked looking around the musical instruments fashioned out of native bark wood and coconut shells,” she continued. I found it amazing how creatively they used dried vegetables in their creations. Speaking with locals and merchants is something I enjoy doing since it allows me to see their body language and gauge whether I should buy stuff from them. Getting to know locals fosters my imagination, and every moment is an acting lesson.
Lakshmi provides a detailed explanation of the Lagos Market experience in a YouTube video. During her stroll around the market, she muses on the market’s significance as evidence of the potency of cross-cultural dialogue and the profound bonds that can be established across similar experiences. Finding common ground while acknowledging and appreciating cultural differences is emphasized in her remarks. Her Hotstar online series Yakshini has a trailer that was just released and will soon be available. Teja Marni was the film’s director. Also in various stages of development are three Telugu films directed by Lakshmi.
