A product of Purushottam Karandak, Sonali Kulkarni,
made her debut appearance in the Hindi play Basant
Ka Teesra Yauvan, written and directed by Makarand
Deshpande. Poetry dramatizations, one-act plays
and experimental theatre were her forte before this.
A
multilingual person, she has worked in Telegu, Tamil
and Marathi plays. Sonali has also to her credit
an English movie under an Indo-Latin banner. "I
had no difficulty understanding or playing the role
the way the director wanted. In fact, I fell in
love with it." The role is that of a girl whose
world is limited by man, but whose journey from
childhood to adulthood is filled with wonderment
and curiosity about the outside world which her
questioning mind reveals to her. In both films and
theatre, Sonali has executed diverse roles. Playing
different roles with a variety of emotions excites
her. She is cautious about taking monotonous and
cliched roles. Sonali has a burning desire to work
in comedies. In her film career she has played roles
which are away from the mainstream: Amol Palekar's
Daayara, Prema Karanth's Bandh Jharokhen, Dr Jabbar
Patel's Dr Ambedkar, to name a few, which have won
her awards and accolades. Sonali is as comfortable
on stage as in front of the camera. Balancing the
two does not hamper her style, because for her,
'expression' is the keyword.
