Another model-turned-TV celebrity is making her tinseltown debut. Tejaswini Kolhapure, better known as Padmini Kolhapure’s younger sister, is finally making her debut on 70 mm with Paanch. Besides, she has also signed Vashu Bhagnani’s next film.
Paanch, also the directorial debut of scriptwriter Anurag Kashyap (who penned Satya), is about a 5 member music band struggling to make it big on the movie scene. Tejaswini plays one of the quintets, a sassy and selfish girl. Reputed failure stems frustration among the rockers who finally commit a crime and get themselves into a fix.
Launched by none other than her sister’s hubby, Tutu Sharma, Tejaswini is far from being a tyro in front of camera. Those familiar with Satish Kaushik-directed Television serial Mujhe Chand Chahiye, know the ease with which Tejaswini played the character of 'Vashisth' in the serial.
Quite surprisingly, as a youngster, Tejaswini was never inclined towards acting. So when Rahul Rawail offered her the lead role in his Bekhudi some years back, instead of clinching it, Tejaswini preferred to walk the ramps. Thereafter, having sashayed the catwalks for years, she decided to give television a shot. That’s when Mujhe Chand Chahiye happened. And now moving a step further onto the silver screen.
Graduating gradually from modeling to TV to theatre and now, to Bollywood, Tejaswini has moved up the ladder one rung at a time. By her looks, she does remind us of her badi bahan. Let us hope that she also turns out, if not more, at least as talented as Padmini.
