Bollywood's iconic villain Sadashiv Amarapurkar's daughter, Rima Amarapurkar, is honouring her late father's legacy — not as an actor, but through THIS
Sadashiv Amarapurkar , who passed away in 2014, was famous for playing scary villain roles in Bollywood films like ‘Sadak’ and ‘Ardh Satya’. He was a legend known for his strong screen presence. But his daughter, Rima Amarapurkar , took a very different path. Instead of acting, she chose to work behind the camera and in the digital world.
Rima grew up surrounded by films, as her parents Sadashiv and Sunanda Karmarkar were deeply involved in cinema. Even though she didn’t want to act, she found her own way to make her father proud.
From Assistant Director to Digital Storyteller
Rima started her career as an assistant director on Bollywood movies such as ‘Baabul’ (2006) and the comedy ‘Dhamaal’ (2007). She also directed a Marathi film called ‘Ara Ara Aaba Aata Teri Thamba’ in 2008. Although she didn’t direct films for long, her love for storytelling stayed strong.
After her father died, Rima focused more on her family and explored new creative fields. She moved into digital media with energy and passion, showing that the Amarapurkar family name could grow with the times.
Podcasting Success
Today, Rima runs a popular YouTube podcast channel called MU. PO. Manoranjan, which has over 13,500 subscribers. On this channel, she talks with actors, filmmakers, and other creative people from the Hindi and Marathi film industries.
Her Instagram bio says: “Rima Amarapurkar. Film director , producer, podcaster, storyteller.” She is loved for mixing her deep film knowledge with a friendly and fresh style, very different from the dark roles her father played.
