20 years after Bobby, ‘unlucky' Rudaali changed Dimple Kapadia's fortune; broke the idea of ‘glamorous' heroine and established her as an actor
Dimple Kapadia was only 14 when Raj Kapoor decided that she had every quality of becoming the next big star in Hindi movies. After the debacle of Mera Naam Joker, he needed a hit to get RK Films out of the massive debt. He needed a film that had the capacity of changing his fortune and so, he decided to launch his 21-year-old son Rishi Kapor and Dimple in Bobby. By the time the film released, Dimple was 16, and even before she could actually experience her success, she got married to the superstar of that time Rajesh Khanna. Reading this in 2025, one would wonder why her marriage was a hindrance to her enjoying her success, and the truth is as orthodox as it could be. Rajesh wanted his wife to be a mother to his children, while he went out and worked in the movies and still had the privilege of being called the father to his daughters – Twinkle and Rinke. 'I had no problems with my wife working. But when I married Dimple, I wanted a mother for my children. I didn't want them to be brought up by servants. And I had no idea of Dimple's talent; Bobby had still not released,' he told Movie magazine in 1980. His declaration resulted in Dimple giving up a highly promising career in the movies. Many years later, she made a comeback with Ramesh Sippy's 1985 film Saagar, after she moved out of Rajesh's house. Dimple continued to work through the 1980s as she was a single mother responsible for her two daughters. After films like Allah Rakha, Bees Saal Baad, Pati Parmeshwar and many similar titles which were equally forgettable, Dimple became popular but it was only after Kalpana Lajmi's 1993 film Rudaali that Dimple started her career as a celebrated actor. Rudaali fetched Dimple her only National Film Award for Best Actress. Rudaali was unlike many of her previous projects where makers often cast her to increase the glamour quotient of their film. Dimple knew what she wanted to be as an actor, and she was finally getting her due. 'I suppose I was always associated with glamour. I had taken that for granted so my entire energy went towards projecting myself as an actress, building up myself as an actress and I wanted to be recognised as an actress,' she said on The Pritish Nandy Show in the early 1990s. ALSO READ | Nargis' brother beat her up because of her relationship with Raj Kapoor; she lost money, opportunities while he set up his studio Rudaali had her playing the role of a rather unfortunate woman named Shanichari. She got her ominous name from those who lived around her because they believed that she was the carrier of bad luck. 'Apne baap ko kha gayi (She killed her own father),' they said and made her believe that a newborn was somehow responsible for her father's death. Her mother abandoned her as a baby, and since then, she grew up around men who were always ready to pounce on her. Dimple's Shanichari grew up defending herself from harassment and ended up in a village where an upper caste zamindar believed that he was doing her a favour by asking for consent, instead of assaulting her. She is bullied, manipulated by the so-called leaders of the society and when a local priest forces her to take on a massive debt that leaves her distraught, Shanichari has no choice but to work as a bonded labour. But despite all these troubles in her life, she never sheds a tear. Contrary to the title Rudaali, which is used for a professional mourner, Dimple's character has never cried. She is not even one of those who mulls over her troubles. It's almost like she has accepted this troubled life as her normal and does not even believe that things could ever get better. She plays Shanichari like a woman who can't afford to be fragile, vulnerable. She always has to keep her guard up for she can't depend on anyone. In moments where life shows her its darkest side, she is disappointed but she never breaks down. Dimple has a strange resolve on her face as she plays Shanichari. She can empathise with this woman's pain but completely understands that breaking down won't do her any good. Mahesh Bhatt, in a 1985 interview with India Today, implied that Dimple Kapadia had been through so much in her life that she did not need any training to be an actor. 'Dimple Kapadia has gone through so much in her life that she need not read up the text books of method acting to play a real woman. She only has to be herself,' he said. In a significant scene in Rudaali, when Dimple's character befriends a woman from a neighbouring village, who forces her to cry just to let out her emotions, she detests the thought of expressing emotions in a public manner. This was strangely common between Dimple and Shanichari. Since her separation from her husband in the 1980s, Dimple fiercely guarded her personal life. There have been very few interactions where she candidly spoke about her family. A year before she signed Rudaali, Dimple gave a rare interview to Pritish Nandy where she spoke about her sister Reem's suicide in 1991, and her brother Suhail's drug problem. Talking about Reem's suicide, Dimple shared that she was yet to cope with it. 'With my brother's drug problem, yes, it was very difficult. It was the first time it happened in our family and he was destroying himself and my parents were completely destroyed. There was so much violence all around and today he is alright, he is back to normal. But those years were really bad,' she said. Dimple was dealing with a lot in her personal life when she decided to take up Rudaali and Shanichari almost became an outlet for her emotions. Dimple Kapadia wasn't always the wisest when it came to selecting her roles but things started to change when she appeared in films like Rudaali and Lekin. She limited her appearances and after 2001's Dil Chahta Hai, she became conscious about her choices. Luck By Chance, Finding Fanny, Being Cyrus have been some of her most applauded films in the last few years.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach release date, story, characters & gameplay revealed at Summer Game Fest 2025
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - Remember the first time we stepped into the strange, beautiful, and haunting world of Death Stranding? That feeling of wandering alone across empty lands, reconnecting broken pieces of a shattered world—yeah, it stayed with us. Well, guess what? Kojima is bringing us back to that world, and this time, it's deeper, more emotional, and honestly… it feels like coming home to something you didn't realize you missed. With Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, we're not just getting a sequel—we're getting answers, fresh mysteries, and upgrades that'll shake things up in the best way possible. Whether you're a hardcore Kojima fan or just someone who loves a game that makes you feel, this one's for you. Let's unpack everything we know so far—together. Death Stranding 2: Kojima returns with a deeper journey Set to launch on June 26, 2025, exclusively on PlayStation 5, Hideo Kojima is back with Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and the emotional tide is stronger than ever. Revealed during the Summer Game Fest 2025, the sequel to the beloved and mysterious 2019 title promises a deeper, more emotionally complex journey. It's not just a game—it's a story of fragile human connection in a fractured world. The game expands the universe of Sam Porter Bridges and introduces new characters, upgraded gameplay, and stunning visuals powered by the Decima Engine. Death Stranding 2 new trailer: Meet Neil and Lucy The newest trailer, introduced by Kojima himself, centres on Neil (played by Troy Baker) and Lucy (played by Elle Fanning), teasing their fragile bond and a haunting conversation about trust, betrayal, and survival. Unlike the stoic tone of the first game, the sequel explores more nuanced emotions and complex dialogues, hinting at philosophical undertones. The visuals are breathtaking—icy terrain, sprawling dystopian ruins, and a cinematic sequence featuring cryptic symbols and mysterious technology. This clip alone has reignited excitement across the gaming community. Classic mechanics with bold upgrades While core gameplay elements like terrain traversal and cargo management return, Kojima Productions has added fresh mechanics. A monorail system helps Sam travel long distances more efficiently, and a day-night cycle now affects enemy behaviour and visibility, pushing strategy to the next level. Combat has also received an overhaul. Players can expect a new set of weapons and stealth options, as well as updated UI systems for inventory and communication with allies. A bridge to the past and future With the return of familiar faces like Sam (Norman Reedus) and Fragile (Léa Seydoux), On the Beach doesn't forget its roots. But it also introduces philosophical depth, exploring questions like: Can broken people reconnect in a broken world? Kojima described this sequel as 'a game about rebuilding humanity, not just delivering packages.' Is it mandatory for everyone reviewing Death Stranding 2 to hit this pose? Fans are also intrigued by the game's cryptic subtitle 'On the Beach,' which seems to hint at existential themes and dreamlike spaces, possibly inspired by the ending of the first game. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach isn't just another sequel—it's a return to a story that once connected us in ways we never expected. It's emotional, it's ambitious, and it dares to be different—again. And if you're anything like us, you're already feeling that itch to step back into Sam's boots and start walking toward something greater than yourself. This article? It wasn't just about facts or gameplay—it was written for fans, by someone who gets it. Who knows what it's like to stare at Kojima's trailers like decoding dreams, to feel the chill of a lonely cliffside, and to cry at a cutscene you didn't see coming? So, if your heart's racing just thinking about what's next... well, you're not alone. We'll meet you on the beach. To stay updated on the stories that are going viral, follow Indiatimes Trending.
