Michigan,
USA, Feb 3, 2012 (Washington Bangla Radio) WBRi had a very special
guest today; someone who is known to be a model, a wonderful
Bharatnatyam dancer and a superfine National Award winning actress. This
beautiful lady who is a powerhouse of talent has acted in various films
in the four different south Indian languages and even in Hindi and has
now set the Bengali films’ silver screen on fire. She is none other than
Padmapriya Janakiraman.
Padmapriya was kind enough to
spare a few minutes from her busy schedule and candidly chatted with us
just before she left for her shoot.
Aparajita Tumi is her first Bengali film and WBRi asked her about ‘Kuhu’
- the character she played in the film and about the film in general,
which by now has already tasted success and is also being critically
appreciated by many.
She said that the film was basically about
relationships, a story of four people and others who are attached to the
lives of these people. ‘Kuhu’ is a very independent, strong headed
person with her own share of positives and negatives. What makes her
beautiful is the way she grasps life, its surprises and the way she
reacts or deals with them.
Padmapriya is a very well known personality in all South Indian films, so how did a Bengali film happen?
Listen to Padmapriya chat with WBRi.
