Renuka Shahane's 'Loop Line'

India Today28-06-2025
In a startling sequence in actor-director Renuka Shahane's animated short film Loop Line, a homemaker makes pakoras out of her brain and serves them to her husband and his friends while they drink and chatter noisily. No, this is not a horror film. Loop Line is the sort of poignant feminist cinema Shahane has honed over her last two features, Rita (2009) and Tribhanga (2021).

In the world of Indian cinema, there are only a handful of actors and actresses who received unconditional love in both films and TV. Not just that, a cherry on top would be if the actor resembles a superstar—then their popularity grows over time. Something similar happened with this actress whom we are going to discuss today. This late actress has been a part of several prestigious projects, and fans have seen her in both positive as well as grey shades. Actress Who Looks Like Jaya Bachchan? The actress we are discussing often resembles Jaya Bachchan. If all these cues don't ring a bell, then let us tell you—we are discussing the late legendary star Rita Bhaduri. Born on 4 November 1955, this artist made her mark in Hindi cinema with her brilliant acting in many films. She started her career at the age of just 13 with the film Teri Talash Mein. Rita Bhaduri worked in about 70 films and more than 30 television serials. Her major films include Julie, Sawan Ko Aane Do, Raja, Kya Kehna, and Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon. Rita Bhaduri Played All Roles One of the special things about Rita's career was that she played every kind of role—from a supporting mother to grey shades too. Rita received the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award for her performance in the film Raja. Apart from Hindi cinema, Rita also tried her hand in Gujarati cinema. Rita's role in the 1976 Gujarati film Lakho Phoolani was a hit, after which she played many leading roles in Gujarati cinema for the next eight years. After cinema, she turned to TV. Here too, she made a name for herself. Her character of Imarti Devi in the TV serial Nimki Mukhiya is still alive in the hearts of the audience. Rita was known for her cheerfulness even after suffering from a serious kidney disease. After a long fight with her health, she bid goodbye to the world on July 17, 2018.

Renuka Shahane speaks out on Marathi-Hindi row in Maharashtra: 'Slapping people will not help the language'

Actor Renuka Shahane has weighed in on the ongoing language debate in Maharashtra, urging people to respect local languages and cultures while firmly opposing any form of aggression in the name of linguistic pride. Speaking on the podcast InControversial with Pooja Chaudhri, the actor, who hails from Maharashtra herself, shared her thoughts on the tensions that have emerged between Hindi and Marathi speakers in the state. Renuka Shahane stressed the importance of understanding local culture and avoiding violence. Renuka on respecting the local culture 'If you've been living in a place for a long time, it's a good thing to understand the local language, culture and be more respectful than anything else. It's not about the speaking of it, much more than the intention of wanting to, you know, respect it. I do not like people who do not feel the necessity to be accommodating of the local language and local culture." Renuka said. 'I do not like violence at all, you know; I do not like the fact that people can be rude about it. Going into a place where Marathi is not spoken and just slapping two or three people, it's not going to help the language in any way. We have to find ways to get across the language to people in a way that people would find it convenient and accept it happily. Language is not something that should is forced. That is why I was against the forced addition of Hindi from a very early stage in Maharashtra. I think it should be something of a choice, which I also had growing up." Renuka added. During a recent interaction with ANI, Renuka's husband, actor Ashutosh Rana also addressed the issue. 'Bhasha samwaad ka vishay hoti hai, vivaad ka nahi. Bharat samwaad mein vishwas rakhta hai, vivaad mein nahi (Language is a topic of discussion and not controversy. India believes in talks and not controversy)," Ashutosh said, emphasising that language should be a tool for dialogue, not division. Marathi-Hindi language row Renuka and Ashutosh's comments come amid growing tensions in Maharashtra around language identity. The debate reignited in April 2025, after the state government announced — and then quickly rolled back — a decision to make Hindi a compulsory third language in schools. Since then, several confrontations have been reported where individuals allegedly linked to the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) have clashed with people for not speaking Marathi in public.
