आपण ह्याना पाहिलात का?

So I am talking about days of छायागीत and चित्रहार here, when people used to drink रसना in summer vacation and Biscuits means only Parle-G or Marrie and when Juhu chowpatty was a clean and tidy place to hangout. In those days Mumbai Doordharshan Kendra used to telecast आपण ह्याना पाहिलात का? a program for missing people (well not exactly for missing ones but for ones who were looking for them). Off late I have been missing few people and yeah Nilesh pinged me this link and then Ankit cracked this news resulting it in this post.

Macmohan remembered as Samba throughout his life and Viju Khote as Kalia. How actors sometime stuck to their images and just never came out. No one can imagine Arun Govil in anything than Raam or no matter how hard Smriti Irani tried by still she is Tulsi Bhabhi..anyways this just off the track....what we are looking here are few missing ones.They did not officially retired but simply disappeared.

Kimi Katkar and Mamta Kurkarni - I really missed them but not any more. But both these marathi muli (girls) rocked the bollywood. In days of bollywood when 'Sexy Sexy Sexy mujhe log bole' has been forcefully changed to "Baby Baby Baby mujhe log bole" these two did their maximum to wear minimum clothes. Google out images of Mamata Kulkarni and Kimi Katkar and you would know what I am talking about. The world first seen Kimi as Indian avatar of Jane in Tarzaan with none other than Hemant Birze.

The last and lasting impression of Kimi Katkar was in Movie Hum where Jumma denies Chumma to Amitabh Bachhan.

With Mamta Kulkarni there are so many unforgettable moments but the stardust controversy takes the cherry. Poor girl charged under obscenity act and fined for 15000 bucks. But this wasn't end of it as she appeared in court in a burqa to evade photographers and that leads to yet another controversy. Least to say she was yesteryear's Rakhi Sawant. Such a great person but sadly she was last seen in forgettable China Gate.  I wish she should have left the industry after her deadly Maraa Re act in Ghataak.

The only other marathi mulgi who gave them a run for their money was Shilpa Shirodkar fondly remembered for her act in GopiKishan with Sunil Shetty and Wada-Paav or all the rain dance numbers. But now she is back as a judge in an outrageously boring Marathi Dance Show accompanied by her sister Namrata Shirodkar. [Trivia: Namrata was featured on VH1's The Greatest: 40 Dumbest Celebrity Quotes Ever for her answer at the 1993 Miss Universe contest to a question asked by Jackie Chan - "I would not want to live forever because I don't believe that one can live forever. And so, I don't think I would want to live forever.!"] 

Then to complete the circle there is Antara Mali a cross between Urmila Matondar and Ritesh Dekhmukh who did her every bit to harass the audience, thankfully last seen in her directorial disaster Mr. yaa Miss, the only thing to her credit is she can make Aftaab to look a decent actor.

As I am getting all senti for these bollywood divas there were few more people who goes on missing ----any news about them?

Indian Idols - Now when all India is busy in finding 'agla Indian Idol' can someone care to share what happened to previous 4? Wait, Idol - 1 is hosting the show and then??
