I don't see how she manages to pass our notability guideline.Near rubbish-sourcing.Probable paid-spam.Nothing resembling non-trivial coverage in RS can be discovered. ~ Winged Blades Godric 18:15, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Clearly a notable actress from the available sources I could find, although sources (like many Indian topics) are difficult due to the English-language sources being of low quality. The mass deletion nomination of Indian actresses is concerning - what these actually need is just the attention of a Marathi speaker. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 10:35, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you.Your concerns are duly noted.Now, sources, please! ~ Winged Blades Godric 10:38, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The sources in the article (and further inquiries based on those sources) established that she had held a number of notable roles in Marathi-language mediums. I don't speak Marathi, so I can't do much beyond that. No one in Marathi-language pop culture is going to be able to meet the same standards for English-language sources as a US or UK actress - but (given obviously notable roles) they absolutely can by someone can actually read the language. The "gotcha" attempt at ignoring the language barrier is systemic bias in action. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 11:35, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * A detailed reply may be viewed over here.In short, I don't buy your assumptions.I'm quasi-proficient (~Babel 2/3) in Marathi and did not manage to scrape anything non-substantial, barring non-reliable interviews and trivial name mentions. ~ Winged Blades Godric 13:38, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:NACTOR as has prominent roles in television and film as evidenced by sources such as Times of India Atlantic306 (talk) 18:57, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete The article completely lacks sources, in English or any other language, about the biography of the subject, from which we'd be able to gauge whether the notability criteria are met. Mentions-in-passing in newspaper columns about new movies hardly does it. -The Gnome (talk) 20:12, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Articles such as, , , suggest sufficient notability. Note the varying English spellings of her name. --Michig (talk) 09:10, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
