Kalpana Iyer Hopes Viral Dance Revives Career
Kalpana Iyer is an actress who became famous a long time ago for a song called 'Rambha Ho' in a movie called Armaan.
Recently, she danced to this song at a wedding, and a video of her dance became very popular on the internet.
This happened because the song was used in a new movie called Dhurandhar.
Kalpana is very happy that people are remembering her and hopes that this will bring her more work.
She is 70 years old and has not acted in many movies since the late 1990s.
She wants to act again but feels that people think she doesn't want to work, which is not true.
She just wants roles that are suitable for her age.
The dance was unplanned and happened spontaneously at her friend's son's wedding in Siliguri, West Bengal.
She expressed gratitude for the love and support she received and hopes this will lead to a comeback in her acting career.
Kalpana Iyer's impromptu dance to 'Rambha Ho' at a wedding went viral, reviving interest in her career.
The song 'Rambha Ho' was featured in Aditya Dhar's film Dhurandhar, which brought it back into the public eye.

Quotes
Kalpana Iyer
Veteran actress and trained singer
“I was at my friend's son's wedding, who is like my own child. The dance was impromptu, and I just shared it on social media. And within hours, it was all over the internet. I am so surprised and also so grateful to receive so much love. I am completely overwhelmed. And for a song that I did more than 40 years back, it makes it all the more special.”

“I am grateful to Aditya Dhar, how can I not be? It's been so long. And if a film has revived it in such a way that the younger generation, the new generation, is humming the song, then for me, it's like... Thank you, God. Who would have imagined that at the age of 70, my song in a film [will go viral again]? It's fabulous.”
