Ramayan is incomplete without three scenes 'wonder' Manthara portrayed by ever efficient late Lalita Pawar. Manthara was a favourite maid of Queen Kaikeyi. She convinces the queen to make King Dasratha to fulfill her long forgotten two boons.Thus the story of Ramayan gets started. Her next scene is with Prince Shatrughna, when the Prince after knowing the evil idea of Manthara tries to assault her. Lastly after returning from 14 years of exile, Lord Rama goes to meet Manthara at the prison. Manthara falls into his feet and apologizes for all her sins on which Rama forgives her. The veteran of 700 plus films who had won Filmfare Award and Sangeet Natak Akademi Award for acting made more name for her role of Manthara. Personally i liked her role in Anari as Mrs. D'sa.
