Kalpana Iyer won the coveted Miss India title before venturing into Bollywood. She is reputed for her vampire roles during the 80s and 90s. She had worked in several films, not as a lead heroine, but in dance sequences. She had a brief stint in television and later cut short her appearance.

Kalpana debuted in Bollywood with the 1980 flick Manokaamna opposite Raj Kiran. The movie didn’t set the cash registers ringing but Bappi Lahiri’s music was a hit. Kalpana was in the top slot of item girls during the 80s. Born on 1955, it was during the year 1978 that Kalpana Iyer won the Miss India title. In the Miss India pageant she emerged as the First 15 semi-finalists, but later didn’t proceed. Kalpana Iyer followed the footsteps of Helen, Bindu and Aruna Irani, by donning the role of a vampire in many Hindi films. Her eyes are expressive and speak a lot. Anjaam, Raja Hindustani, Satte Pe Satta and Hum Saath Saath Hain are some of the flicks through which she gained recognition.

Her performance in Anjaam, in which she enacted the role of a prison warden, fetched her much critical acclaim. That film had Madhuri Dixit and Shahrukh in the lead.

The 1981 flick Tu Mujhe Jaan is a notable film in Kalpana’s career. The song Tumhara Pyar Chahiye Mujhe Jeene Ke Liye is a great romantic track featuring Kalpana. Hari Om Hari is also one of her famous dance numbers. Pardesi, Pardesi is a song from the flick Raja Hindustani, which gave Kalpana much recognition. Kalpana Iyer had a brief stint in television, pop singing and shows (performing dancing and singing). She played a negative role in Chandrakanta, a television serial and it was appreciated.

Kalpana’s affair with Amjad Khan, yesteryear villain of Bollywood, was in the news. Currently she manages a restaurant in Dubai, UAE.
