Kalpana Mohan was born as Archana Mohan in Srinagar on 18 July 1946. Her father, Avani Mohan, a freedom fighter, was close to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and an active member of the All India Congress Committee. Kalpana, who trained in Kathak, was often invited by Nehru to dance at the Rashtrapati Bhavan whenever dignitaries visited. She was spotted by actor Balraj Sahani and Urdu writer Ismat Chughtai, who encouraged her to come to Mumbai. Kalpana got her first break in the movie Professor in 1962. She took the screen name 'Kalpana' meaning 'imagination' or 'dream.'

Kalpana was married twice, and both times for very brief periods. In the mid-1960s, as a debutante, she married and quickly divorced screenwriter and director Sachin Bhowmick. In 1967, she married a navy officer, with whom she had her only daughter. She divorced him in 1972. She continued to live in Mumbai for a while but stopped acting, allegedly depressed over her divorces.^[3] She moved to Pune in the early 1990s in order to raise cash by selling her house in Mumbai for a hefty amount, buying a tiny house in the outskirts of Pune for a small amount, and using the money thus obtained for living expenses.

She died in the early hours of 4 January 2012 at the Pune Hospital and Research Centre due to cancer. She is survived by her daughter Preeti Mansukhani, son-in-law Harish and grandchildren Yash and Khushi.^[4]
