Right then. These are just common bits of text-speak you see everywhere.

'ST' is simply a shortcut for 'something'. So if someone says, 'tell me st', they just want you to tell them something.

'TM' usually means 'text me' or 'message me'. It's an invitation to slide into their DMs for a private chat. They are essentially just slang terms to make typing a bit quicker. Cheers.

Ah, Suryakant Mandhare. That is an interesting question. He was a legendary figure in Indian cinema, specifically in the Marathi film industry. He was a dominant star during its golden era, from the 1950s to the 70s.

People remember him for his powerful portrayals of historical and mythological heroes. He had a very imposing screen presence and a distinct, commanding voice. Think of roles like the great king Chhatrapati Shivaji. That was his specialty. He brought a unique gravitas to these characters.

But here is something fascinating. He was also a very accomplished painter. So, he was not just an actor, but a true artist in every sense. For Marathi cinema, he is something of a national treasure. A true pillar of that industry.
