Felicitating Kiran Bedi
-->
With Kiran Bedi |
July
30, 2013: The First Lady IPS Officer of India, Mrs Kiran Bedi, is in
city. Today afternoon I went to The Park
Hotel to felicitate her at a preview and promotional
function organized for the Hindi film Calapor directed by
Dinesh P Bhonsle and produced by A Durga Prasad.
It is the first
Hindi film of Bhonsle - the Marathi film director. The film is
scheduled to be released on August 2.

The
film deals with the subject of prison reforms, a topic that is close
to the heart of ex-police and current social activist Kiran Bedi who
had initiated many such programs at the Tihar jail.

Kiran Bedi is
promoting this film was in Kolkata with the message that “prisons
should be correctional homes”. The leading actress of this film,
Rituparna Sengupta, who has few Hindi films under her belt, was there
at the function.
I
met Kiran Bedi after a decade and she immediate recognized me and
even recalled where we had met the last time. This surprised me
because Kiran Bedi in her new avatar of a social activist meets
numerous people each day, I must salute her memory.
