An Interview with Padmini Kolhapure with her Mini-Biography
-----------------------------------------------------------
At age of 7, played in Dev Anand's "Ishq, Ishq, Ishq".
At 11, played Rupa (Roopa) in Raj Kapoor's "Satyam Shivam Sundaram".
At 15, did the famous rape scene in "Insaaf Ka Tarazoo" with Raj Babbar.
Now 20, has four films due for release and ten in the shooting stage.
In 1984, made the headlines when she kissed Prince Charles on the cheek
when he visited Bombay.
The questioner (Q:) is A. Sikri, (P:) is Padmini Kolhapure,
and <S:> is me, Sunil Trivedi <another nobody>.
Q: Do you go to school?
P: No, I was really never fond of studying. So I don't miss it.
Although I miss the fun of college life.
<S: Setting a good example to the young of the world!>
Q: How do you like New York City, since you come here so often?
How different is it from Bombay?
P: They're both really the same, overcrowded, dirty cities.
<S: The cabby must have taken her to Hoboken (N.J.) and told
her that it was New York City. Mayor Koch [of New York
City] ought to give her the "Key to the City" for that
remark.>
Q: Then what brings you here so often?
P: Well it's a vacation for me. I like to get away from Bombay.
I like to roam around here without being recognized.
<S: For those who are planning their vacations, ask your
travel agent to send you to dirty cities since you
can get lost between all the filth. Tell'em that
Padmini sent you.>
Q: What is your role in the upcoming Lata-Kishore show at Madison
Square Garden [in New York City] ?
P: When I was with the musicians Kalyanji-Anandji last year I did a few
dance sequences. But this year it'll be a guest appearance only.
<S: Guest appearance doing what, bouncing people out of the
[Madison Square] Garden? Maybe she lulled the audiences
last time with her dances.>
Q: You modelled for India Saree Palace and Ruby sarees. Why?
For extra money on the side?
P: No, the reasons were not financial. For more exposure, I guess.
International exposure.
<S: Who does she think she's fooling? The "I guess" tells
that she didn't have a good bluff ready. She wouldn't
be a good guest on Hollywood Squares. With over 100,000
Indians in the New York City area, how was the "exposure"
going to help her in not getting recognized when she
"vacations" in New York City?>
To all those fans of Padmini Kolhapure out there on the net, I really
cannnot say that I'm sorry. Either she should practice not opening
her mouth and letting certain things slip out or she should practice
giving "appropriate" responses. She came to New York to help entice
Indians (deshis) to pay some bucks, then she should do what all smart
performers do, say nice things about the place where they are performing
whether they mean it or not.

I think it is about time you visit New York ( making sure that cabby does not take you to Hoboken ) and get your facts straight. It is a well known fact ( even Mayor Koch will agree ) that New York city is dirty. I wish you do not waste our time and yours (!!!) posting such articles. Baiju.

It is a well known fact > ( even Mayor Koch will agree ) that New York city is dirty. I assume living in New York would be better than visiting New York if I want to make statements about New York. Well I have lived in New York for 13 years. I'm sure there are many out there who could "pull rank" on me [having lived in New York longer]. I definitely "pull rank" on Padmini! I agree there are several sections of New York that are not the most appealing, but that situation will exist in any major metro- politan area, unless cities either start early on trying to prevent the decay (like Austin, Texas) or have sweeping powers to demolish already existing decay (like Toronto, Ontario). I believe it is not fair to judge the whole city, when only a few sections are culprit. Just because the many communities in NYC [New York City] share a common government, does not mean that all the communities are the same. South Bronx hardly reflects the rest of NYC as the Watts section of L.A. (Los Angeles) does not reflect L.A. Even the city of Houston, has several self-supporting communities (which could easily be seperate cities), that do not reflect the image that Houston is known for. Sorry, Prentiss! Usually those who don't live in "the city" are the ones who help to give "the city" a bad name. As for Mayor Koch agreeing that NYC is dirty, I believe Koch will do whatever he has to do to get the media to notice him. If saying NYC is overcrowded and dirty will do that, then he'll say it. If NYC were as dirty and over-crowded as the "well-known facts" reveal, then why do those who have the ability to move out stay there? Does anyone believe that these residents stay there because they like to be dirty and to live in over- crowded settings? For those who are (somehow) attached to Hoboken, I give my apologies to them. In all my trips to/through Hoboken, I had felt that garbage collection was not a high priority on its city council. I hope the situation has changed. My reference to Hoboken was made in fun. > I wish you do not waste our time and yours (!!!) posting such > articles. To all those who believe that I am wasting their time (including Baiju Patel baiju@sbcs, Shaji Bhaskar shaji@sbcs, & Shankar Muppala muppala@sunybcs), please exercise the 'n' key. As to whether I'm wasting my time, I guess that it's up to me to decide. +-------------+ |Hook'em Horns| =========================== Keep Smiling, |___ ___| |(*) (*)| | | Sunil Trivedi | ^ | sunil@ut-ngp.ARPA | \___/ | ...!ut-sally!ut-ngp!sunil \ / - - - -

Boy, you lived in NYC for 13 years and still think that it is a clean and beautiful place (even after living in Austin)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! > I agree there are several sections of New York that are not > the most appealing, but that situation will exist in any major metro- > politan area.

South Bronx hardly > reflects the rest of NYC. > Usually those who don't live in "the city" are the ones who help to give > "the city" a bad name. I think that means - `those who live in cleaner and more crime-free areas feel that "the city" is dirty and full of crime'. > If NYC were as > dirty and over-crowded as the "well-known facts" reveal, then why do those > who have the ability to move out stay there? Does anyone believe that these > residents stay there because they like to be dirty and to live in over- > crowded settings? I know a lot of New Yorkers who feel that it is the "greatest city on earth". I agree that the city is a great place for enjoying social and cultural events, but it still remains a fact that it is dirty and overcrowded. > > > I wish you do not waste our time and yours (!!!) posting such > > articles. > > To all those who believe that I am wasting their time (including Baiju Patel > baiju@sbcs, Shaji Bhaskar shaji@sbcs, & Shankar Muppala muppala@sunybcs), > please exercise the 'n' key. > How come my name was not included in the list? For those of you who know how to hit the `r' key for sending me mail, but do not know how to use the `f' key for sending followup messages send me mail if you want to be included in the list, and I will post the list in the future (my astrologer tells me that Feb 29 1986 is a good day for that purpose).

NYC might be dirty but it is immaculate compared to Bombay. Padmini K.'s comment still seems crazy though. Sunil just wanted to suggest, in a humorous way, that Hoboken is more dirty than NYC and that Padmini K.'s comment was ridiculous.
