Those of us familiar with the film and TV scene in India in the 80s would remember Anuradha Patel as the actress with an endearingly pretty face and a restrained demeanour overall. The other aspect about her which immediately comes to mind is her lineage. Although born in a Gujarati family, she had a Bengali mother who was none other than the daughter of the redoubtable , making Anuradha the granddaughter of the evergreen hero of Hindi cinema, and thereby a part of the extended family of the famous Ganguly brothers, Ashok and . Having started her film career in 1983 with the film "Love in Goa" which really did not impress the box office, she had to wait for another 2 years for her next film “Utsav” to really hit the headlines. This film propelled her to a new status in the eyes of the audience, not only for its “artiness” and the critical success it gained, but also because she was perceived on par in her acting skills with the other key actors of the film like Rekha, Sashi Kapoor and Sekhar Suman. Unfortunately, however, Anuradha had to “wade through” a bumpy stretch of 8 to 9 inconsequential movies in the next 2 years to reach her next landmark, which was in the film “”, under the direction of Gulzaar. Besides widespread acclaim for her sensitive portrayal in the film, she also got nominated for the Filmfare Awards that year. Although the award finally did not come her way, she had made her mark as a sensitive artist. After this her career did not, however, proceed in any spectacular manner perhaps because she was more preoccupied with her family, having in the meanwhile got married to fellow TV actor . She however, kept appearing on TV and doing the odd role in movies. In the latter part of her career she started acting in films like “” and “Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na” in which she was portraying slightly older roles. To keep herself occupied she has also started her own unit Dynamic Finishing academy for Personality Development, which as the name suggests is a good grooming centre not only for industry hopefuls but also for other professionals.
