Kalpana was an actress who always sprung a surprise on her audience. She conjured the same magic as she left the mortal world leaving behind a void that no one can fill, very much like the character of Mariya she played in the film Charlie, her latest released flick. The film depicts Mariya vanishing from a dhow in the middle of the sea during the night.
Mariya, in a way, reflected the depth in the acting prowess of the gifted artiste, and also the turmoil that had been riling the human in Kalpana. Though the episode was short, it had a profundity that delved into fathoms of artistic brilliance. Mariya's visage and disposition presented the pathos that naturally instilled a discomfort deep inside. It was so artistic that one hardly notices the internal disturbance the character evoked.

The hopelessness, the doggedness, the pain, ruggedness, the tragedy - all have been churned together in the expression of the character so intrinsically that we wonder, 'Oh! what happened to her.' That's the magic she weaves into her every artistic outing.

Though she was popular with characters essaying humour, Kalpana was equally at home playing serious roles and enchanted millions, emoting a range of histrionics. A personality who had experienced all travails in real life, it's ironic that her last scene onscreen was quite like a foreboding to her sudden demise.
