My version[edit]

Dimple Kapadia (born 1957) is an Indian actress of Hindi films. She was discovered at age 14 by Raj Kapoor, who cast her in the title role of Bobby, a major success in 1973. The same year, she married and quit acting until 1984. Both Bobby and her comeback film Saagar (1985) won her Filmfare Awards for Best Actress. She established herself as a leading lady in both mainstream and parallel Hindi cinema and won acclaim for Kaash (1987), Drishti (1990) and Lekin (1991).

Hi Shshshsh, that looks good, except removing "further" at the end doesn't make sense. Her later films didn't bring her recognition, she was already well recognised. I have given it a minor tweak. See what you think. Gog the Mild (talk) 10:47, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gog the Mild, "further recognition" referred strictly to Tenet because it exposed her to the larger public out of India, so we better remove it altogether. Please look at my minor tweak (she had success with more character parts, this is just a short selective list, so I just noted "in films including"). ShahidTalk2me 11:43, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Shshshsh, I like that and am going to press with it. Thank you. Gog the Mild (talk) 11:48, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
