Smita Patil birth anniversary 🎂 October 17, 1955 "I’ll continue doing whatever I think strongly about, making good films and working for the women’s centre that I got involved with two years back. I’ll make films also, because the kind of work I’d like to do is projected better in the medium of cinema. When I have the time, I’ll try to combine my work with the media and the women’s centre by making documentaries. It’s a natural extension of what I’m doing now. Maybe I’ll take a more active part in politics. But first I have to have enough money in the bank. I don’t want to be hassled about money. Who’s going to look after me when I retire? But I’ll remain in films. There is so much scope in the medium than just acting and making money. It’s a popular art and considering the kind of mass appeal it has, there’s tremendous scope in cinema." Smita Patil (1985) Caption courtesy Filmfare . P.S. It's unfortunate she passed away a year later and her dreams/plans remained unfulfilled. . #smitapatil #smitapatilfans #smitapatil❤ #smitapatel #bollywoodnostalgia #happybirthdaysmitapatil #bollywoodflashback #bollywoodicons #bollywoodlegends #80sbollywood #indianparallelcinema #legendsneverdie @_prat @juuhithesoniibabbar #prateikbabbar
