Despite her film outings with renowned names like Anurag Kashyap and Mani Ratnam, Tejaswini Kolhapure remains a talent Bollywood has yet to recognise.
She is the youngest amongst the three Kolhapure sisters and aunt to Shraddha Kapoor.
Introduced to film audiences in 2003 with Kashyap’s Paanch, Tejaswini did only limited roles in her more than two decade-long career.
After her noteworthy performance in Hansal Mehta’s acclaimed series Scoop, Tejaswini is now eager to do more substantial roles.
“I stopped working and that was my biggest mistake,” “Now in the last couple of years, I haven’t stopped. Irrespective of whether the film is released or not, whether my role is cut or not, I’m moving ahead.”
Why do we see so less of you on screen? Are you moody with your choice of work?
Yes and no. The kind of work that’s coming to me has not been very good.
I’ve also been taking breaks in between.
That has made me look like I have vanished, but I’ve been doing other stuff as well.
I’m an entrepreneur. We have a production house.
I’ve been doing various things, so I’ve got my hands full.
What made you say yes to Yes Papa?
The topic that it tackles. Also, the character I play is a very positive one.
I’ve been offered a lot of negative characters all these years.
Like, Ugly is not a positive character.
Even my first film (Paanch) was not a positive character.
In Scoop also, I didn’t have a positive character.
I’ve been always doing stuff which is slightly off.
