Sulabha Deshpande is best remembered for her roles in several Bollywood and Marathi films as well as stage productions.

Tendulkar, along with Vijaya Mehta, Shriam Lagoo and Arvind Deshpande, who later married Sulabha, were the initiators of the experimental theatre movement of the 1960s and 1970s, which she (Sulabha) joined subsequently, the report said.
