Mini from Shekhar Kapur's Masoom traced in Delhi:
So we know what's been happening with Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi, Supriya Pathak, Urmila Matondkar and Jugal Hansraj -- but where did the Mini of Shekhar Kapur's Masoom disappear? For that matter what was her real name? It's Aradhana Srivastav and the lil' moppet is now in her mid 30s, quite happy crooning Lakdi ki kathi to her five-year-old daughter Yashetta.
After Masoom, unlike her onscreen siblings, Aradhana just vanished into the blue. Mirror tracked her down to Delhi where she's living with her husband, Prashant Kaura, and their child. And the media shy young woman had to be really coaxed into giving this interview.
Rewind to 1982 when playful Aradhana accompanied her father to writer-lyricist composer Gulzar's house. He recommended her name to Shekhar Kapur to play the youngest child in his 1983 Indianised cinematic adaptation of Man, Woman and Child. And before she could understand what was happening, she was in the film and had found a mother figure in Shabana who fondly called her Ijji-Bijji...........
