She began her acting career in 1972 at the age of seven, and her early works include Zindagi (1976) and Dream Girl (1977). She had her breakthrough with the film Satyam Shivam Sundaram (1978), starring as the young Roopa.

She was also nominated for the Best Supporting Actress for her role in Souten (1983) and also received a Best Actress nomination for Pyar Jhukta Nahin (1985). Kolhapure established herself as a leading lady in Hindi cinema with films such as - Ahista Ahista (1981), Vidhaata (1982), Woh Saat Din (1983), Do Dilon Ki Dastaan (1985), Swarag Se Sunder (1986), Dadagiri (1987), Phata Poster Nikla Hero (2013) and Panipat (2019).

Early life and family[edit | edit source]

Padmini Kolhapure was born 1 November 1965[4][5] in a Marathi family, second among the three daughters of Pandharinath Kolhapure, a professional musician, by his wife Nirupama Kolhapure. Her elder sister is the former actress Shivangi Kolhapure, wife of actor Shakti Kapoor and mother of actress Shraddha Kapoor and actor Siddhanth Kapoor.[6] Her younger sister, Tejaswini Kolhapure, too is an actress.[7]

The family took the surname "Kolhapure" because they hailed from Kolhapur in Maharashtra. Padmini's mother, Nirupama Kolhapure, was a Saraswat Brahmin. Padmini's father, Pandharinath Kolhapure, was a talented vocalist and Veena player.
