Remembering 'Rajni' Tendulkar

Remembering Rajni I came across a autographed picture of Vijay Tendulkar and remembered his daughter Priya Tendulkar -- the star of my first favorite TV serial. I looked up on her, and was shocked to learn that she passed away some years ago. I do not know if Priya became an activist because of her role in the series or vice versa. But in the tumultuous years of 1980s, Rajni, the housewife character Priya played, tried to solve India's problems in her own small ways and it appealed very much to me. I eagerly looked forward to seeing the next episode on my neighbor's TV in Mysore. I'm told that she lived with Ananth Nag but they didn't marry. Eventually she married Karan Razdan and was estranged from him. She had such a spritely personality! Her untimely death made me sad. Link to Priya Tendulkar on Wikipedia Kamat.com is NOT a source of Stock Photos Many have written asking if that was me in the picture in Prajavani supplement. Yes, that is me on the left. No, they didn't ask our permission to publish it, nor did they credit the photographer, my uncle Gajanan Kamat. Obituary: Kamalakar Desai I mourn the passing of Kamalakar Desai, my grand uncle, in the town of Kalasa. I mostly knew him as the brother of my grandma, but he was related to me in numerous ways due to the complicated inter-marriages. (Comments Disabled for Now. Sorry!)
