Mumbai, Jan 29 (IANS) – Time stood still as veteran actress and dancing legend Kalpana Iyer returned to the spotlight, delivering a high-octane performance of her legendary track, ‘Ramba Ho Ho Ho’. The dance diva, now in her early 70s, proved that grace and energy are ageless as she grooved at a recent family wedding in Mumbai.
A Nostalgic Performance Gone Viral
In a video shared on her social media, Kalpana Iyer is seen commanding the stage with the same charisma that made her a household name in the 1980s. Dressed in a sophisticated purple silk sari complemented by a traditional black-and-gold blouse, her movements were a masterclass in elegance and rhythm.
Reflecting on the spontaneous moment, Kalpana shared:
“A friend sent me this clip and it’s from last night and I still can’t believe I did this… I have not danced in a long time and this was such a special evening… Siddhant ki Shaadi.”
The Legacy of ‘Ramba Ho’
For the younger generation, the name Kalpana Iyer is synonymous with the golden era of Bollywood dance numbers.
-
Original Hit: The song ‘Ramba Ho Ho Ho’ featured in the 1981 film Armaan and quickly became a disco anthem across the country.
-
Modern Revival: The track recently gained a second life after being featured in the Ranveer Singh blockbuster Dhurandhar, introducing Iyer’s iconic moves to a Gen-Z audience.
From ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’ to Dubai and Back
Beyond her reputation as a “Dancing Queen,” Kalpana Iyer is beloved for her acting roles, most notably as Sangeeta (Mamta’s friend) in the 1999 family drama Hum Saath Saath Hain. Her character was pivotal in the film’s climax, portraying one of the three friends who influenced Reema Lagoo’s character to challenge the family’s unity.
After a successful career in the 80s and 90s, Iyer moved to Dubai in 1999, effectively stepping away from the limelight. However, having recently returned to India, the actress has expressed interest in returning to the silver screen, with this viral performance serving as a perfect reminder of her enduring talent.
