To Rohini HattangadiOn its seventeenth year
“A tapestry is woven with tears and thunder
On the morning of this quiet April, while the world chased the headlines, I stop to honor you, Rohini Hattangdi.
Seventy years. You can now walk away from noise, but you remain unforgettable – in the soul of our cinema and in the hearts of those who really see you.
In MeaningYou were Bai – a simple domestic help, yet never small. You were standing quietly and constantly with a woman’s heartbreak, storm in your eyes. You didn’t play part – you Were Wounds, witnesses, truths that gave the story his weight.
then came StorkAs Parvati, you bore the grief that has no name: a mother who has lost her child. You were a quiet flame next to Anupam’s cry – the sorrow that does not shout, but lives. It was not a performance. This was a prayer. People did not just see you; They felt you. And they still do.
In me SelfYour role was brief but unforgettable. In HideoutYou were a mother with love. You bring the truth while bringing other techniques. Your screen time never matters – your appearance. You came from the theater, from that living, breathing school of craft – and you took it to the film like a holy fire.
Without you, those films will not be what they are. Without you, we will not be what we are. You showed us women who tolerate, who break, who burns and still throw light.
Now, on seventy, you cannot look for a spotlight. But you are still a lighter – quit, stable and eternal. A national treasure, not wrapped in noise, but really wrapped. An artist who gave us more than the roles – you gave us yourself.
Happy birthday, Rohini. Thanks to the Thunder. And tears.
With deep love and respect,
From one who remembers,
Mahesh Bhatt
