BHARTI JAFFREY

Prodigal daughter

She’s never cared for name-dropping. With an illustrious father like Ashok Kumar, sister Preety Gangoly, daughter Anurdha Patel and husband Hamid Jaffrey (Saeed Jaffrey’s brother) as her kith and kin, Bharti Jaffrey could be excused if she made a big noise of her connections. But Neena Gupta’s anxiety-ridden, on-screen mama in Saans has opted to remain in cognito and make it on her own steam. Deepa Karmalkar discovers the Prodigal daughter.

SUBHALEKHA SUDHAKAR

Film’s loss TV’s gain

For Subhalekha Sudhakar, it is a smooth transition from films to television. In fact, in his case, it can be said that cinema’s loss is television’s gain. The tall, lanky actor with a baritone voice had a fairly successful movie career, till 1991. “I do not know what went wrong after that, but I wasn’t getting any offers. But TV came to my rescue and I have been getting meaningful roles on the small screen,” says Sudhakar.
