Expressing grief over her passing, MLC Amit Gorkhe recalled his meeting with the actress in 2013 and said her simplicity, affectionate nature and warm smile remained etched in his memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recalling the meeting at an event organised by the Kalarang institution, Gorkhe said, \u201cThe day we met in 2013 still stands vividly before my eyes. Despite being an accomplished artist, Madhu Kambikar was remarkably simple and approachable. Her affectionate smile, warmth and habit of enquiring about others with genuine concern have stayed in a corner of my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that Kambikar was not merely an actress on screen but an artist who brought life to every character she portrayed. Her performances, including roles depicting rural culture and her memorable portrayals of mothers in Marathi films, earned her a special place in the hearts of audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Films such as <em>Hech Majha Maher, Raghumaina, Ek Hota Vidushak, Zapatlela, Debu<\/em> and <em>Ye\u090a Ka Gharat<\/em> featured some of her memorable performances. Gorkhe said her dedication to her craft, humanity and cheerful personality would continue to inspire generations of artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paying his heartfelt tribute, the MLA prayed for peace for the departed soul and expressed his condolences to her family, admirers and the Marathi film fraternity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recalls their 2013 meeting, praising her simplicity, warmth and memorable smile Pune : Marathi cinema has lost one of its<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3482,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[57,64],"class_list":["post-3481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pune","tag-maharashtra","tag-pune"],"magazineBlocksPostFeaturedMedia":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-12-at-7.37.19-PM-1-150x150.jpeg","medium":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-12-at-7.37.19-PM-1-300x210.jpeg","medium_large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-12-at-7.37.19-PM-1.jpeg","large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-12-at-7.37.19-PM-1.jpeg","1536x1536":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-12-at-7.37.19-PM-1.jpeg","2048x2048":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-12-at-7.37.19-PM-1.jpeg","colormag-highlighted-post":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-12-at-7.37.19-PM-1-392x272.jpeg","colormag-featured-post-medium":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-12-at-7.37.19-PM-1-390x205.jpeg","colormag-featured-post-small":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-12-at-7.37.19-PM-1-130x90.jpeg","colormag-featured-image":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-12-at-7.37.19-PM-1.jpeg","colormag-default-news":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-12-at-7.37.19-PM-1-150x150.jpeg","colormag-featured-image-large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-12-at-7.37.19-PM-1.jpeg"},"magazineBlocksPostAuthor":{"name":"Editor","avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d5153bc4b578f38328e6ec4367b899f9035bc845d2933bfe4a714a364de8dbd?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"magazineBlocksPostCommentsNumber":false,"magazineBlocksPostExcerpt":"Recalls their 2013 meeting, praising her simplicity, warmth and memorable smile Pune : Marathi cinema has lost one of its","magazineBlocksPostCategories":["Pune"],"magazineBlocksPostViewCount":5,"magazineBlocksPostReadTime":2,"magazine_blocks_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-12-at-7.37.19-PM-1.jpeg",578,404,false],"medium":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-12-at-7.37.19-PM-1-300x210.jpeg",300,210,true],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-12-at-7.37.19-PM-1-150x150.jpeg",150,150,true]},"magazine_blocks_author":{"display_name":"Editor","author_link":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/?author=3"},"magazine_blocks_comment":0,"magazine_blocks_author_image":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d5153bc4b578f38328e6ec4367b899f9035bc845d2933bfe4a714a364de8dbd?s=96&d=mm&r=g","magazine_blocks_category":"<a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-32\">Pune<\/a>","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
