Neelam Interview 1987

[@meenakshisawant1441]

The questions asked in a 1987 interview are 100 times more progressive and intellectual than the questions asked in today's bollywood interviews

[@niveditapandey6083]

Ah so true!

[@Amritapriyacosmetologist]

So true yarr

[@pk_j]

Anything that happens in showbiz is to cater population, in order to earn. So the population itself has been dumbed down strategically by the riches and govt over the period of time. Why govt would do so? Because a population which asks questions is dangerous for them.

[@travel.music.food.5403]

So ironic since it should have been more progressive now but today we mostly have trashy journalists..

[@Lucy_Pais]

Omg totally I was just about to comment that

[@AbhiJeet-hz2eq]

People criticised her so much for her accent in Bollywood wives but u see even in 1987 she had same kind of accent... I am disappointed with these trolls who mocked her mercilessly (I checked my comment today. Wow nice to see so many people agree with me)

[@hsd287]

Actually she had a very strong accent then coz she had just started out in Bollywood now in her 50s she obviously has a much Indian accent

[@wwickedsunnyy]

If she was born in Hong Kong, it was a British colony at that time. No doubt she studied O and A level exams and went t the UK for further studies. I’m from the UK and she clearly has a British accent, at least she did at the time of this interview.

[@Trollika_Devi]

She doesn't have a typical British accent. It's a 'global' accent that leans towards British pronounciation , with a dash of Indian and American syllables.

[@Nahida376]

@@wwickedsunnyy yeh your right proper Uk accent ma’sha’allah from uk

[@monsoon007]

She studied in an American and British school both in Hong Kong and Bangkok. Her accent is British it’s not fake and nothing Indian about it. English spoken in Mumbai is totally different.. Hindi came into her life after she joined movies. Her voice was dubbed in Jawaani her first movie. She sounds exactly the same in her Netflix show today, 30 years later!

Neelam was one 80s/90s actress who deserved more recognition. Her laughter is infectious. She's so cute..

[@Analysis_Paralysis]

She was sweet and innocent! But also quite emotionally intelligent and articulate for her young age... ☺

She probably stopped getting good movies at some point because she was more preserved and she wasn’t involved with anyone in Bollywood. Poor thing, good characters always suffer. She is amazing!

Not many know this,..way back in the 80's and in the beginning of 90's , Neelam Kothari and Mithun Chakraborty were the Only brand ambassadors for National Panasonic for South Asia. That was a time when National Panasonic had not entered india and most of its products were imported via Gulf or east asia,..but still National Panasonic signed up Neelam and Mithun among the lot of hindi movie stars. Both had a very long stint(may be close to a decade) in promoting the Japanese product in india and it was a win win situation for the actors and for the electronics giant when it comes to Electronics brand promotion by movie stars, which was unheard of in india at that pre liberalisation era..

Her voice was dubbed in Jawaani and Love 86…In 2 years , she worked hard on her Hindi and acting ….and voila!!! After 2 movies , look at her Hindi diction and acting in ILZAAM , Sindoor, etc….Today’s foreigner actresses like Katrina , Jacqueline have all the facilities of tutor , producer friends , social media , internet and still they can barely speak Hindi
