Life of Padmini Kolhapure
[frame="1 80"]
KID-SINGER, CHILD-ACTRESS, singer, heroine and producer. The girl from Kolhapur has been all this and more. She began her film innings on a 'relative note', that is, singing "Yaadon ki baraat nikli hai aaj" ('Yaadon Ki Baraal') as a kid with kid sis Shivangi and Lata Mangeshkar, to whom she was also related. A few films as kid-singer and years later, Padmini began acting in films as a child artiste ('Zindagi', 'Dream Girl') and achieved instant stardom with four major hits — Raj Kapoor's 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram' (playing Zeenat Aman as a kid, coming to the rescue of her temple priest father Kanhaiyalal and taking over the song "Yashomati maiyya se"), 'Saajan Bina Suhagan', 'Thodisi Bewafai' and above all, as the teenage rape victim of psychopath Raj Babbar in B.R. Chopra's 'Insaf Ka Tarazu', for which she won the Best Supporting Actress award. In 'Gehrayee' (1981), the Hindi rehash of'The Exorcist', she played the possessed girl, creating a sensation with the shot of her nude back. Padmini's earthy-n-ethnic looks and prodigious talent earned her lead roles the moment she was physically mature enough to play a heroine. Nasir Hussain, who had introduced her as a kid-singer in 'Yaadon Ki Baraat', was the first to cast her as Rishi Kapoor's seventh debutante co-star in 'Zamaane Ko Dikhaana Hai'. Luckily for her, her first release was not this misfired entertainer, but a fairly rivetting 'Ahista Ahista' (1981), in which it was not difficult to shine as the nubile devdasi opposite a deadpan Kunal Kapoor.
The film's success (it was interestingly released just a few months after 'Gehrayee', her last vehicle as a kid), paved the way for more films, and her career prospects had already zoomed up with Raj Kapoor signing her for 'Prem Rog' and Gulshan Rai-Subhash Ghai getting her to do 'Vidhaata'. Dev Anand even went one better by making her fall in love with him in his own 1982 flop 'Swami Dada'. Padmini Kolhapure's relatively brief career (she chucked up acting after her love marriage to Tutu Sharma, the producer of her 'Aisa Pyar Kahan', in 1987) was resplendent with a spectrum of roles, most of which had substantial dramatic meat. Though not averse to skin and cleavage show if the role justified it, Padmini was mainly branded as either the young girl in love or a miniature Meena Kumari-esque tragedienne. If this imaging restricted her range, it also established her acting credentials in a milieu where precisely such roles brand any artiste as a great performer. Which the Kolhapure girl undoubtedly was, whether as the helpless girl trapped by her socio-cultural background in 'Woh Saat Din', the child-woman of 'Prem Rog' (a brilliant performance that annexed a Best Actress award for her), the girl-woman in the throes of a sexual awakening in 'Anubhav', the wife separated from her husband by the machinations of her rich mother in 'Pyar Jhukta Nahin', or in her other less-celebrated roles in films like 'Pyari Behna', 'Swarag Se Sunder', 'Mazdoor' and 'Muddat'. After the unexpected super-success of'Pyar Jhukta Nahin', Padmini did a slew of films with Mithun Chakraborty, most of which were dramatic in nature and helped give the Bengali hero a phase of A-grade respectability as a hero. With success as a star, Padmini wisely put her singing ambitions in a mental attic, though some filmmakers were occasionally tempted to use her voice at the fag end of her career ('Dana Pani' and a couple of other films).
After marriage to Tutu, Padmini opted out of the star firmament, completing a straggling lot of releases till 'Qurbani Rang Layegi' (1991) and 'Professor Ki Padosan' in 1994. In 1989,she turned producer with 'Dav Pech', a horrendous mutilation of the Manmohan Desai classic 'Sachcha Jhoota'. Today, she helps her husband in the production of his films, occasionally taking official credit as producer ('Rockford'/1999). An Acting Academy that she began in London has gained a .foothold and Padmini remains in touch with films even without donning the greasepaint[/frame].
