Komal Mahuvakar (also known as Rupini, Roopini or Rubini) is an Indian film actress who appeared in South Indian films during the late 1980s and early 1990s.[1]

Rupini, originally from Mumbai, moved to the south to act in films after the late 1980s. Earlier, she had done character roles under her real name Komal Mahuvakar in a few Hindi movies, including Des Pardes, Payal Ki Jhankaar, Meri Adalat, Sanch Ko Aanch Nahin and Nache Mayuri.[2]

Early life and debut

Mahuvakar was born in Mumbai to a Gujarati family. Her father, Kantilal, was a lawyer and her mother, Pramila, was a dietitian.[3]

She was accidentally spotted by the film-maker Hrishikesh Mukherjee who offered her child roles in his films such as Mili, Kotwal Saab and Khubsoorat.[4]

Rupini got married to Mohan Kumar Rayana in 2000. They are now separated. The couple have a daughter named Anisha Rayana.[3]
