Tanvi Hegde, Mrinal Kulkarni and Ashok Lokhande
Actress Tanvi Hegde took 90s kids down memory lane as she reunited with actors Mrinal Kulkarni and Ashok Lokhande. The trio was part of the much-loved TV show 'Son Pari'. The fantasy kids show saw Tanvi Hegde play Fruity. Mrinal Kulkarni essayed the role of desi fairy Godmother Son Pari and her eccentric male partner Altu was played by Ashok Lokhande. They would use the popular phrase 'Itu Bitu Jin Patuta' to teleport. Son Pari and Altu would come to Frooty's rescue every time she was troubled.
Tanvi Hegde who was a child actor on 'Son Pari' is now 32-years-old. On Monday, she surprised fans with pictures of her reunion with Mrinal and Ashok. She shared a now and then picture post where the trio is seen in same pose minus their fancy costumes.
Along with the pictures, Tanvi wrote, "A lot of you'll asked if we meet, if we are still in touch and if you could get all of us together in one frame again, we made it happen for you! â¨My literal parents on set and the bestest co-stars, this one is a trip down memory lane".
The Son Pari star only recently became active on social media. She recently shared some throwback pictures from the shoot of the 2000s show and termed them some of her best memories from the set.
Take a look:
Ashok Lokhande, an alumnus of National School of Drama in Delhi was much loved by kids with his innocent yet happy-go-lucky portrayal of Altu in Sonpari.
