==Early life==
Deshpande died on 4 June 2016 from a long-illness in Mumbai at the age of 78 or 79.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/veteran-actor-sulabha-deshpande-passes-away-2834931/ | title=Veteran actor, theatre person Sulabha Deshpande passes away | publisher=[[Indian Express]] | date=4 June 2016 | accessdate=4 June 2016}}</ref>
She was born and brought up in Mumbai, where she studied at Siddhartha College in [[Fort (Mumbai precinct)|Fort, Mumbai]], and later received a degree in education.
 
==Career==
Deshpande started her career as a teacher at Chhabildas Boys' High School in [[Dadar]], Mumbai. While working there she asked noted playwright, [[Vijay Tendulkar]] to write a few plays for her students. This started her association with theatre, and in time made her one of the pioneers in experimental theatre movement of the 1960s, as she joined the group ''Rangayan'', which was founded by [[Vijaya Mehta]], [[Vijay Tendulkar]], [[Arvind Deshpande]] and [[Shriram Lagoo]].<ref>{{cite book |title=Five Plays For Children |author=Vijay Tendulkar |author-link=Vijay Tendulkar |publisher=Scholastic India |isbn=8184771339 |page=introduction |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QcXcgeQTi-cC&q=sulabha+deshpande&pg=PP9 }}</ref> Soon, she started her acting career, though she first received acclaim when she won state-level competitions for her plays like ''Madhlya Bhintee'' and ''Sasaa Ani Kasav''. After ''Rangayan'' dispersed, she along with her husband Arvind Deshpande, and Arun Kakade formed the theatre group, ''Awishkar'' in 1971. Having played the lead role of Leela Benare in [[Vijay Tendulkar]]'s noted play ''[[Shantata! Court Chalu Ahe]]'' in 1967 she established her caliber. Later she reprised her role in the 1971 film version of the play directed by [[Satyadev Dubey]], which turned out to be breakthrough role in feature films. Thereafter she went on to work extensively both in [[Hindi cinema]] as well as [[Marathi cinema]], and directors like [[Shyam Benegal]], through the height of Indian [[parallel cinema|new wave cinema]], in the 1970s and 1980s.<ref name=toi/><ref name=dna/>
 
Awishkar was housed in the Chhabildas Hall at the Chhabildas Boys' High School, Mumbai, and thus gave rise to Chabildas theatre movement of amateur theatre. It also holds adult education workshops and trains young adults.<ref>{{cite book |title=Theatre and the World: Performance and the Politics of Culture |author=Rustom Bharucha |publisher=Routledge |year=1990 |isbn=0415092167 |page=113 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pWQOAAAAQAAJ&q=sulabha+deshpande&pg=PA121 }}</ref> Soon, she established the ''Chandrashala'', the children's theatre wing of ''Awishkar'', and directed plays like ''Baba Harvale Ahet'', ''Raja Ranila Ghaam Hava'' and ''Pandit Pandit Tujhi Akkal Shendit'' and notably the [[Sangeet Natak]], ''Durga jhali Gauri'' (Durga Became Gauri) in 1982, a dance drama with a cast of seventy children.<ref name=toi/><ref name=dna>{{cite news |title=Tanveer Sanman for veteran actress Sulabha Deshpande |url=http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report_tanveer-sanman-for-veteran-actress-sulabha-deshpande_1476461 |newspaper=[[DNA (newspaper)|DNA]] |date=4 December 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=The World Encyclopedia of Contemporary Theatre: Volume 5: Asia/Pacific |author=Don Rubin |publisher=Taylor & Francis |year=1998 |isbn=041505933X |page=203 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-MUiXjMUl34C&q=sulabha+deshpande&pg=PA203 }}</ref> She later directed the [[Raja Rani Ko Chahiye Pasina|Hindi film version of the play]] ''Raja Ranila Ghaam Hava'' in 1978.
