	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  is me, Sunil Trivedi .

	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.
	
		

	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.

		

	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.
	
		

	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.
	
		

	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.

		

	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.
