Her last TV appearance was in Ekk Nayi Pehchaan , that premiered on 23 December, 2013.
While, Padmini Kolhapure is highly-awaiting for her next venture, she recently revealed that one of her biggest regrets is not sharing screen-space with Amitabh Bachchan. In an interview with The Times of India, she expressed, 'One thing is for sure — I really missed out on working with Amitji. It was probably one of my biggest regrets, as I have worked with everyone else, and he is the only actor I haven't worked with.'
According to reports, Padmini was signed for the original cast of Silsila (1981) , which starred Amitabh Bachchan and Parveen Babi. However, the role eventually went to Smita Patil, but it couldn't happen, and later Jaya Bachchan was finalised for the role.

Her elder sister, who is Shraddha Kapoor's mother, Shivangi Kolhapure, is a former actress. Her younger sister too, Tejaswini Kolhapure, is an actress. She is niece of legendary singers Asha Bhosle and Lata Mangeshkar. Married to film producer Pradeep Sharma, they have a son named Priyaank Sharma.
Padmini's last film appearance was in Ashutosh Gowariker's Panipat (2019), alongside Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Kapoor and Kriti Sanon.
