Padmini Kolhapure, ‘Rishi Kapoor was quite a charmer back in the day’

In an episode in Zee TV’s popular singing reality show, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs, post Ranita and Aryananda’s marvellous performance on veteran actor Padmini Kolhapure’s song ‘Yeh Gallian Yeh Choubara’, host Maniesh Paul could not resist requesting Padmini Ji to recreate the her magical dance moves on this song. Sportingly, a graceful Padmini stepped up on the stage to dance and perform the hook step of this iconic song while the judges, jury and contestants watched the evergreen beauty in awe.

Talking about her experience and memories related to this song, Padmini Kolhapure share, “This song was indeed very special and is extremely close to my heart. It was a real surreal moment to hear these kids sing it so beautifully and it certainly brought back all the memories I have associated with this song. Prem Rog is a movie that came to me very early in my career and I remember I was so young and full of energy and enthusiasm back then. The movie was great, and all the more special since I shared the screen with late Rishi Kapoor Ji. I’ll have to admit, he was quite a charmer back in the day. The movie itself was so sweet and the song had a perfect emotional touch to it.”

Furthermore, she added, “I remember back in the day, I used to be, and I still am a die-hard fan of Rajesh Khanna and once I had gone to audition for this one role in one of Rajesh Ji’s movie. Sadly, it did not work out in my favour and I did not end up getting the part. But I truly cherish those days and I won’t be exaggerating if I say those were indeed the best days of my life.”

With Poonam Dhillon and Padmini Kolhapure in the house, we are sure this evergreen special will be exceptional and something viewers should watch. It will be full of melodies, memories and surprises. So tune in to Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs this Saturday and Sunday at 8 pm, on Zee TV.
