Introduction

Goa, the tiniest state on the western coast of India, boasts golden pristine beaches, palmfringed avenues, flavourful food, delicious Portuguese-influenced sweets, and warm, hospitable people. Also known as the Ibiza of India for its partying. A tropical paradise of flora and fauna, from the very famous 'almi' (mushrooms) endemic to its forests, that grow only on the red mud anthills, to the solar prawns that are fished immediately after the monsoons, Goa is unique. Tourists are also attracted to Goa for its cultural heritage - from the famous old Portuguese churches like Se Cathedral in Old Goa, the 16th Century Safa Masjid in Ponda and Shree Mangesha Temple in Mardol, the legendary Arvalem or Pandava Caves where the Pandavas of the Mahabharat fame lived, to its two unique festivalsCarnival and Shigmo. Goa plays host to many festivals - the International Film Festival of India that promotes cinema, the Serendipity Art Festival, Sunburn Music Festival, The Grape Escapade to name a few. To showcase this varied heritage of culture, art, tradition, food, and people, in 2015 ItsGoa was born. The main aim was to make it the premier portal for all things Goa. We were able to showcase Goa like never before. Soon our blog-based website transcended the virtual space, with the ItsGoa magazine – a sought-after resource for visitors to Goa from countries like Norway, Germany, UK, USA, UAE, etc.

The Untold Love Story of Libia and Vaman Sardesai

Libia and Vaman Sardesai's love blossomed during Goa's freedom struggle while operating a secret radio station, "Voice of Liberty," and later culminated in marriage after Goa's liberation.

In the 1950s, during Goa’s fight for independence, Libia Lobo and Vaman Sardesai fell in love while running the covert mobile radio station ‘Voice of Liberty’. ItsGoa (Being Goan) shares their incredible love story and highlights their mission and struggles, leading to their marriage on December 19, 1964, the third anniversary of Goa’s liberation. Their story, preserved at Aguad Port and Jail Complex, Sinquerim, highlights their courage and enduring love amidst the struggle for freedom.

Love can bloom in the strangest of circumstances, even when one is on the run, evading capture from colonial troops keen on nailing you to the wall.

The backdrop of the love story of veteran freedom fighter, now centenarian Libia Lobo Sardesai and the late Vaman Sardesai was draped with the spirit of defiance. It is a story that bloomed in the heat of the battle for the liberation of Goa, while operating a secret radio station in the forested border region fringing the coastal state.

During the mid-1950s, as Goa continued to remain under Portuguese colonial rule despite the winds of independence blowing across the rest of the country, the struggle for the region’s freedom took a dramatic turn. In the face of violent repression and a

complete blockade imposed by the Indian government on Goa, the resistance movement needed a new voice. It was in this atmosphere of despair and new hope, that the idea of a mobile radio operation, ‘Voice of Liberty’ was born. And as fate would have it, the destinies of Libia and Vaman intermingled, along with the frequencies of the clandestine radio station they started.

“It was such a coincidence that even though we both worked for All India Radio, Vaman and I (first) met, when all of us who were craving for Goa’s freedom came together in Mumbai to figure out a way to start a harmless protest in Goa.” she told ItsGoa.

All India Radio was India’s largest radio station. While Libia worked as a radio jockey, Vaman, who had recently returned from his time at Mahatma Gandhi’s Sevagram Ashram in Maharashtra, joined the external services division, broadcasting the voices and perspectives of the subjugated Goan community.

She recounts, “We were all dejected because we could not do anything. There was no other way to do things non-violently. The Portuguese were telling lies and we needed a way to counter that.”

It was during this critical period that Vaman Sardesai, with his technical expertise, conceived the idea of a mobile radio station. This daring plan to broadcast the truth to Goans trapped under a veil of Portuguese propaganda, operated from 1955 to 1961. In the light of the complete blackout in terms of news and information from the native perspective, this secret radio, which operated from the back of a truck, that came to be known as ‘Voice of Liberty’, significantly pitched in towards Goa’s freedom struggle.

Together, Libia and Vaman transformed a truck into a mobile studio and set up operations in Castlerock, (now along the Goa Karnataka border) a location strategically chosen for its proximity to the border and its seclusion from Portuguese scrutiny. “We wanted the radio to be up and running by November 25 because the Portuguese had conquered Goa on November 25, 1510, and every November they would have a big feast in Goa celebrating their conquest,” she recalls.

Vaman and Libia’s work was a remarkable feat of engineering and determination. Each day, they broadcasted programs designed to uplift the spirit of Goans and counter Portuguese propaganda. In the midst of this high-stakes operation, a personal bond blossomed between the two. Their shared commitment to the cause and tireless efforts forged a deep connection. Libia recalls, “We met while both of us were working for the Satyagraha. It was in the midst of our struggle that we found a deeper

connection, both to the cause and to each other.”

The rigorous demands of their work meant that their romance developed against a backdrop of constant movement and danger. Their love story was interwoven with their shared mission, each day bringing them closer as they faced challenges together. Their partnership in the mobile radio project was not just a collaboration in anti-colonial activism, but also in life.

On December 19, 1964, three years after Goa’s liberation, Libia and Vaman Sardesai celebrated their wedding. This date was more than just an anniversary of liberation; it was a celebration of their enduring love and shared journey.

Today, the story of Libia and Vaman Sardesai is preserved at the Aguad Port and Jail complex, Sinquerim, a reminder of the sacrifices made by many, including those who were imprisoned there for participating in the freedom struggle. As visitors explore the complex, they are reminded of the resilience and love that flourished even in the darkest of times.

Their love, forged in the heat of struggle and defiance, remains an inspiring testament to the power of shared purpose and commitment. As the world remembers their story, it stands as a beacon of hope and resilience — both in love and in the pursuit of freedom.

In the serene landscapes of Goa, Sobita Kudtarkar’s journey in the performing arts unfolds like a beautifully scripted drama. Hailing from the quaint village of Nanoda in Sattari taluka, she has woven her roots into the fabric of her creative endeavors. Today, Sobita resides in Porvorim Town, where she continues to explore her deep-seated passion for acting and filmmaking. With her father as an initial source of inspiration, Sobita’s story is a testament to the power of family, culture, and an unwavering dedication to the craft.

The Roots of Inspiration

Sobita's connection to the performing arts began early in her life. She describes her childhood, immersed in the world of theater, where she spent countless hours backstage, observing her parents. This environment, filled with creativity and passion, sparked her interest in acting. Sobita recalls how watching her father, an actor himself, ignited a flame within her. “His stories and performances captivated me,” she shares.

As Sobita grew older, her admiration for her father transformed into a profound love for the performing arts. Not only did she find joy in acting, but she also discovered a strong connection to Goa’s rich cultural heritage. Growing up in Sattari, surrounded by nature and folk traditions, she felt an innate desire to preserve and celebrate these art forms.

A Commitment to Heritage

Beyond just performing arts, Sobita embraces the folk traditions and artistic expressions of Goa. She expresses gratitude for her upbringing, acknowledging how the natural beauty and cultural richness of her surroundings have influenced her identity. “It’s become a driving force to preserve those traditions through performance and filmmaking,” she states. Sobita believes that art should not only entertain but also tell stories that resonate with the audience.

This commitment to her roots is evident in her approach to filmmaking. For Sobita, it’s not merely a means to create art; rather, it’s a powerful tool to share emotions and narratives. She views filmmaking as an opportunity to express her beliefs and share untold stories with the world. Her enthusiasm for this craft is infectious, driving her to continuously explore new avenues in the realm of storytelling.

The Evolution of Passion

Sobita’s journey in acting has not only been about performing but also about personal growth. Initially, she was drawn to the thrill of competitions and recognition. However, as she honed her craft, her perspective shifted. Sobita now focuses on expressing deeper truths through her performances. “It’s about sharing untold stories and understanding the depth of human emotions,” she explains.

Her passion for acting has matured over time, evolving from a quest for accolades to a pursuit of meaningful contributions to society. Sobita recognizes that while recognition still matters, it’s the process of creating art with intention that fuels her creative journey. She believes that genuine passion and effort attract positivity, a philosophy she applies to every performance.

Pivotal Moments of Transformation

Every artist has pivotal moments that shape their journey, and for Sobita, one such moment occurred during a filmmaking contest. Her team faced the challenge of creating a film within 60 hours, which required immense collaboration and creativity. Rather than succumbing to pressure, they focused on honesty, camaraderie, and a shared love for the craft.

Sobita reflects on this experience, noting that their film went on to be featured in prestigious international festivals. “When created with genuine passion and effort, art attracts the same positivity in return,” she remarks. This realization has become her guiding principle, influencing her approach to all future performances.

Embracing Challenges

Sobita acknowledges that certain roles pose significant challenges, particularly comedic characters. She initially believed that deeply emotional scenes were the hardest to portray authentically. However, over time, she discovered that comedy presents a unique challenge, often requiring a precise understanding of timing and rhythm.

“I’ve yet to play a comedic role, but it’s something I deeply wish for,” she admits. Sobita views comedy as the ultimate test of an actor’s craft, recognizing its complexity and the skill required to deliver humor effectively. This desire to push her boundaries demonstrates her commitment to growth as an artist.

A Methodical Approach to Characterization

When approaching a new script or character, Sobita engages in a meticulous process. She begins by visualizing the character, drawing inspiration from her observations of people throughout her life. This initial vision is then enriched by understanding the director’s perspective, combining her interpretation with their insights.

“Reading has always been essential to my journey,” Sobita says. As a literature enthusiast, she recognizes the importance of observation and interaction with others. Books allow her to meet new characters, shaping her approach to each role. This method of immersing herself in various narratives highlights her dedication to authenticity in her performances.

Finding Reward in the Craft

Among her many roles, Sobita considers one project particularly transformative. Cast as a protagonist in a short film alongside a trained actress from a prestigious film school, Sobita initially felt pressure to measure up. However, as filming progressed, she shifted her focus away from comparison and embraced the character she was portraying.

This experience taught her valuable lessons about self-confidence and the importance of trusting her individual process. Sobita emerged from this project not only with newfound insights but also with a reinforced belief in her own unique method. This transformative phase exemplifies her resilience and adaptability as an artist.

Navigating Auditions and Industry Pressures

The path of an aspiring actor is often fraught with uncertainty and pressure, and Sobita is no stranger to this reality. She describes the emotional rollercoaster of auditions, where optimism can

quickly shift to self-doubt. Despite the challenges, her passion for acting serves as a source of determination.

Sobita reflects, “While there may be more factors shaking my confidence, my love for the craft keeps me going.” She emphasizes the importance of perseverance, acknowledging that the journey is often daunting but filled with opportunities for growth and learning. Sobita's unwavering dedication is a testament to her resilience in the face of adversity.

Balancing Creativity and Technical Demands

Balancing creative expression with technical demands is a critical aspect of acting, particularly on film sets. Sobita understands that each team member plays a crucial role in bringing a project to life. While actors must maintain character and emotions, they must also be mindful of the technical aspects of filmmaking.

“It’s a challenge, but it’s what makes the work rewarding,” she notes. Sobita’s ability to navigate this balance reflects her professionalism and commitment to delivering compelling performances.

Preparing for the Demands of Acting

To stay mentally and physically prepared for her demanding profession, Sobita actively engages in various activities. Inspired by a fellow artist, she embraces the idea of constant preparation, recognizing that her body and mind are her most powerful instruments.

“I focus on fitness, mental health, and expanding my knowledge,” she shares. By nurturing her well-being, Sobita not only prepares for future roles but also enriches her life experiences. This holistic approach ensures she remains adaptable and ready for any challenges that may arise.

Learning from Diverse Experiences

Every collaboration with directors and production teams offers unique lessons for Sobita. Each creative individual she encounters enriches her

understanding of the craft. Through working with passionate directors, she has uncovered her potential and discovered strengths she didn't know she possessed. Sobita acknowledges the importance of these experiences, as they contribute to her growth as an actor. By embracing diverse perspectives, she continually evolves her approach and enhances her craft.

Advice for Aspiring Actors

For those aspiring to enter the acting industry, Sobita offers valuable insights. She emphasizes the importance of completing education, as it provides a foundation for future endeavors. “Finish your studies first, then dive into the freelance journey,” she advises.

Sobita believes that maintaining peace of mind is crucial for artists. When survival becomes tied to creativity, it can hinder the process. She encourages aspiring actors to explore multiple avenues, experiment, and learn from various experiences. “You can be many things,” she insists, highlighting the importance of living a well-rounded life.

Sobita’s commitment to honoring her journey propels her forward as she navigates the complexities of her career.

Born on March 3, 2003, in Saligao, Goa, Sejal Shrikant Deuskar is the embodiment of resilience, determination, and an unwavering passion for the world of beauty pageants.

Childhood Dreams and Early Inspirations

Sejal's story is deeply rooted in her childhood aspirations. Since she was a young girl, she always dreamt of becoming a model—a dream that was not only hers but also her father’s. “It was my daddy's dream,” Sejal shares, reflecting on how her father’s vision played a pivotal role in shaping her aspirations. This strong sense of purpose drove Sejal to participate in her first beauty pageant at just 16 years old. The event, Fashion Model Goa Season 3, was where her journey began, and she was awarded the subtitle of Miss Attractive. That moment was significant for both her and her family, as it gave them hope and showed Sejal that her dreams were within reach. Her English teacher asked who she wanted to be in the future, and while other students answered with doctor, engineer, scientist, or teacher, she said she wanted to be a model. Her teacher was shocked and said, "Sejal, no." As a child, she believed teachers always gave good advice, so she shifted all her interest to sports. In high school, she was awarded Best Sports Girl, having earned hundreds of medals for the school.

Early Struggles and Growth

comes not just from external validation but from personal growth and perseverance.

The Turning Point: Miss Goa 2022

Despite the early success, Sejal’s journey was not without its challenges. While she continued to participate in various pageants across Goa, she often found herself winning only subtitles rather than the coveted crowns. This phase, though tough, was instrumental in her growth. Sejal recalls, “I participated in more pageants, but I always got some subtitles, which no longer made my family happy.” This period of her life tested her resolve, but rather than give up, Sejal used these experiences as fuel to push herself further. She realized that true success

One of the most defining moments in Sejal’s career came with her participation in Miss Goa 2022. It was a high-stakes competition for her, as her father had set a challenging condition: if she didn’t secure a crown, she would have to quit modeling and pageants altogether. But Sejal, determined to follow her passion, never entertained the thought of giving up. She saw the world of pageantry as a space where she could finally receive respect for her skin tone—something that she had struggled with growing up.

On May 21, 2022, Sejal’s perseverance paid off. She was announced as the second runner-up of Miss Goa 2022.Although many expected her to win the crown, several believed she was the winner, but unfortunately, she did not win the main crown. Sejal was content with her achievement. She was proud of herself for not giving up, saying, “What mattered was the crown, and to not give up on my dream.” This moment solidified her place in the beauty pageant world and gave her the confidence to continue pursuing her passion.

International Representation: Rubaru Miss India Elite 2023 and Glamour Look International

Sejal’s ambition was not confined to local pageants. She had her eyes set on representing India on an international stage. In 2023, she achieved this dream

when she was crowned Rubaru Miss India Elite 2023 and Glamour Look International 2023 during the Miss Goa 2023 competition. The reason behind her international title was simple—she wanted to represent her country at the global level, and this opportunity allowed her to do just that.

However, this milestone also came with its challenges. Sejal had anticipated a great deal of support from her fellow countrymen as she prepared happened,” she shares. It was a heartbreaking realization for her, but it also taught her an important lesson: “Your family will always be with you and will always support and encourage you towards achieving your dreams.”

Memorable Moments and Challenges

Throughout her journey, Sejal faced many memorable moments and challenges, but the support of her family remained a constant source of strength. Her family and friends were her biggest supporters, and their unwavering encouragement helped her stay grounded and focused, even when times were tough. This realization—that her family was her strongest pillar—was one of the most valuable lessons she learned during her pageantry career.

Sejal also shares that one of the biggest challenges she faced was the lack of support from the broader public when representing India. However, she overcame this challenge by focusing on the love and encouragement she received from those closest to her. “It was heartbreaking to represent my own country and not get any support, but my family’s belief in me made all the difference,” she explains.

Preparing for Pageants: Mental and Physical Strength

Competing in beauty pageants requires both mental and physical preparation, and Sejal took her training seriously. She followed a daily workout routine, which helped her not only stay physically fit but also mentally strong. Exercise became an essential part of her self-care regimen, helping her believe in herself and feel ready to face any challenge.

Personal and Professional Growth

The world of beauty pageants has helped Sejal grow in ways she never imagined. Through these experiences, she learned the importance of self-love and self-acceptance. “Participating in many pageants made me realize that not everyone is perfect, but once you love yourself for who you are, no one can bring you down,” Sejal reflects. This realization has not only helped her in her personal life but has also  contributed to her professional growth, giving her the confidence to continue pursuing her dreams.

Lessons from the Journey

One of the most significant lessons Sejal has learned from her pageantry journey is the importance of kindness and empathy. She believes that being calm and helpful to others, especially when someone is in need, is a valuable trait that has guided her through her career. “Beauty is not only looking glamorous in outfits,” Sejal explains, “but it’s also about being kind, helpful, supporting each other, and understanding others’ problems.”

Representation and Advocacy

As a public figure, Sejal is passionate about advocating against discrimination based on skin tone. She uses her platform to promote inclusivity certain beauty standards over others. For Sejal,

and to challenge societal norms that prioritize beauty goes far beyond physical appearance—it is about the way a person carries themselves, their confidence, and their ability to show kindness and compassion toward others.

She also has a powerful message for young women who aspire to follow in her footsteps: “Never wait for the opportunity, and once you get it, never lose it. Work so much that you get all that you deserve, and stop expecting from others.”

Handling Public Pressure

Being in the public eye, especially in the beauty and fashion industry, comes with its own set of pressures. However, Sejal embraces this visibility. “I personally like being in the public eye, as it makes me feel that I am known for something I have really worked hard for,” she says. This positive outlook on public attention has helped her navigate the challenges of fame and stay focused on her goals.

SAHIL NAIK

Sahil Naik, a Goan content creator, gained viral fame with relatable, humorous videos featuring his family, aiming to turn content creation into a full-time career while promoting Goan talent.

In the world of digital content, creativity can strike at the most unexpected times. For Sahil Naik, a wellknown content creator from Goa, this was exactly how his journey into social media fame began. His story is one of spontaneity, passion, and a deep connection with his roots. As a young man juggling a 9-5 job and his love for creative content, Sahil has seamlessly merged humor, family bonding, and cultural pride in his work.

A Pandemic Discovery: The Start of Sahil’s Content Creation Journey

Like many of us, Sahil found himself scrolling through his phone during the COVID-19 lockdown. With most of his days spent inside, it was a simple, seemingly insignificant moment that sparked his new path. While casually watching a vlog on YouTube, Sahil decided to record his own surroundings by placing his phone on the window. In a twist of fate, his cat crossed the frame, and that video went viral. It wasn’t long before viewers demanded more content from him. Embracing the response, Sahil found his niche in creating funny videos, blending spontaneous ideas with relatable content.

Initially, Sahil’s videos focused on humorous situations, often drawing on everyday interactions with his mom. These mother-son dynamics resonated with viewers, as many people found themselves relating to the universal experiences of family life. According to Sahil, his process has always been more organic than planned. When an idea strikes, he quickly involves his mother or even a friend, creating content on the spot. No matter the outcome, Sahil’s instinctive creativity rarely disappoints his audience.

Discovering His Niche: Relatable, Spontaneous, and Real

For Sahil, content creation is all about capturing moments that most people can easily relate to. Whether it’s a playful interaction with his mother or funny, everyday situations, his videos strike a chord with his audience. He points out that much of the content comes from a simple idea that hits him, and the magic happens as soon as the camera starts rolling. There’s no script, no rehearsed performance – just pure, authentic moments that end up connecting deeply with viewers.

One of the things Sahil enjoys the most is collaborating with his mom, who has been involved in acting for over 30 years. This adds a layer of authenticity to his videos, as the mother-son bond shines through. By focusing on the universal themes of family life, Sahil has been able to create relatable content that reaches a wide audience, while still maintaining a unique personal touch.

Instagram: Sahil’s Platform of Choice

Though Sahil dabbled in YouTube short films, he ultimately decided to focus on Instagram. His reason is simple: Instagram is faster, and people have adapted to it more than any other platform. Sahil’s straightforward approach involves using just his phone and the VN editing app, paired with Bollywood background music to add flavor to his content. Despite the simplicity, his success has been nothing short of impressive.

As a content creator, Sahil knows the importance of staying updated with the latest trends. This helps

Sahil Naik

him stay relevant, and he’s aware that his audience often expects timely, trend-based content. However, Sahil is not just a follower of trends; he believes that content creators either make or break trends, depending on their approach. With this in mind, he focuses on incorporating fun, humorous elements into trending concepts, ensuring his videos stand out while still staying timely.

A Viral Moment: The Clean-Shave Video

Among Sahil’s many viral videos, the one that truly blew up was a video where he got a clean shave. While preparing for a drama performance with his group, Rudra Creations in Panaji, Sahil needed to clean shave for a scene where he would appear dressed as a woman. He asked his friend to shoot the entire process, starting at the barber shop and culminating in a final scene at home, where Sahil appeared in a saree – much to his mother’s surprise.

What made the video so special was the raw, unplanned reaction of Sahil’s mother, who couldn’t control her laughter upon seeing him in the saree. That laugh, genuine and unscripted, is what captured the hearts of millions of viewers. With over 15.9

million views, this clean-shave video became Sahil’s most viral moment, skyrocketing his followers by 12,000 in just four days. This success highlights Sahil’s ability to create content that resonates on a deeper, more personal level with his audience.

Balancing a Full-Time Job and Content Creation

Despite his growing popularity on Instagram, Sahil still maintains a 9-5 job. Balancing work with content creation is challenging, especially since many of his videos involve his mother, who also has her own responsibilities. Sahil admits that this balancing act can be difficult, particularly when both have limited time. To work around this, Sahil prefers to shoot content on Sundays or late at night when they are free.

Despite the challenges, Sahil’s commitment to producing authentic content remains strong. By staying true to his voice and blending everyday moments with humor, he continues to create videos his audience eagerly anticipates. For Sahil, the key to success has always been to remain as natural as possible. He believes content should reflect real life, while offering a blend of comedy and spontaneity.

One aspect of Sahil’s content creation process that sets him apart is his close relationship with his audience. The comment section on his posts often serves as a source of inspiration, where viewers share their thoughts, feedback, and sometimes even criticisms. Sahil doesn’t shy away from taking this feedback seriously. He’s always looking for ways to improve his content based on what his audience is saying, whether it’s positive or negative. The process of adapting and evolving based on audience interaction has helped him grow as a creator.

However, Sahil is well aware that the internet can be a double-edged sword. While some comments provide valuable insights, others can be hurtful or dismissive of the effort that goes into content creation. Despite the occasional negativity, Sahil remains focused on refining his craft and pushing forward with each new video.

Looking Ahead: A Full-Time Career in Content Creation

Sahil’s ultimate goal is to turn content creation into a full-time career. He sees this path as not only providing flexibility in his schedule but also allowing him to create more content with greater freedom. As someone who comes from a family deeply involved in acting, Sahil believes that his success in content creation is, in many ways, an extension of his parents’ influence. Their involvement in the performing arts for over 30 years has inspired him to continue pursuing this creative field.

Looking to the future, Sahil hopes to elevate the profile of content creators from Goa. He’s proud of his Konkani roots and aims to showcase the unique talent coming out of the state to a global audience. By continuing to create content that reflects his culture while appealing to a broader audience, Sahil hopes to contribute to the growing recognition of Goan talent on the world stage.

However, for Vellancy Dias, Goa holds a much deeper beauty that goes beyond the popular tourist spots.

Her passion for highlighting these untapped gems has not only earned her a significant following but has also positioned her as a storyteller who connects audiences with the true essence of Goa.

A Passion for Exploration and Marketing Expertise

Vellancy’s journey as an influencer began with a simple idea: showcasing the beauty of Goa in ways that few had seen before. While many influencers

focused on Goa’s beaches and nightlife, she was determined to shine a light on the state's rich heritage and natural wonders, often hidden in plain sight. She started by highlighting picturesque and aesthetically pleasing food spots, which immediately gained attention from people seeking something new in the area. As her following grew, so did her influence, leading to collaborations with numerous brands and businesses.

Aside from her work as an influencer, Vellancy also excels as a marketing professional.

Balancing Multiple Roles

Managing the dual responsibilities of being both an influencer and a marketing manager can be challenging, but Vellancy has mastered the art of balance. She dedicates specific days to focus on her personal content creation while reserving other days for her professional duties. This structured approach allows her to meet the demands of both roles, ensuring growth in her career while nurturing her creative endeavors.

Leveraging Digital Marketing for Growth
