1 Oct
Summary
- Padmini Kapila's career did not take off as expected despite being a known face
- She had a relationship with director Prakash Mehra, who never gave her a big break
- Rumors of her involvement with Salim Khan, which she has denied
In a recent interview, veteran actress Padmini Kapila reflects on the ups and downs of her Bollywood career. Despite appearing in films like 'Laawaris', 'Shaan', and 'Ghungroo', Padmini's career never took off the way it should have. She admits to having a relationship with director Prakash Mehra, who made movies like 'Muqaddar Ka Sikandar', but he never gave her a big break.
Padmini also addresses the persistent rumors of her involvement with renowned screenwriter Salim Khan. While Salim had once said that he was an "idiot" for not responding to Padmini's beauty, the actress firmly denies any such relationship, stating that there was "nothing at all." She suggests that Salim's comments were likely just a result of his nature as a dialogue writer.
Despite the challenges, Padmini remains philosophical about her journey, acknowledging that "perhaps it's destiny." She reflects on how her looks could have landed her bigger roles, such as in the film 'Prem Kahaani,' which ultimately went to actress Mumtaz. Padmini's story is one of missed opportunities and complex personal relationships within the Bollywood industry, a narrative that sheds light on the realities faced by many talented actors.
