Biographie
Apte has been referred to as a woman who "symbolized women power both on and off the screen". According to K. A. Abbas, commenting on the vitriolic writings of the cine-magazine editor Baburao Patel of Filmindia, "there was only one example of a spirited star like Shanta Apte taking the law in our own hands when she came to Baburao's office and hit him with a cane…". She defied her contractual agreement with Prabhat Films when it hampered her from acting in outside films and decided to stage a fast in front of the studio gates. She was released from her contract by Prabhat Films.Ten years after Shanta Apte's death, actress Nayana Apte declared herself to be her daughter. Nayana claimed Apte married a distant cousin in 1947 and left him when she was three months pregnant. According to Vijay Ranchan in his book "Story of a Bollywood Song", in the section on Shanta Apte titled "The Rebel Commoner", Shanta was unmarried but had a daughter, the Marathi film and stage actress, Nayana Apte.

Considered a classic Indian film, Amrut Manthan depicts Chandika cult followers who meet in a dungeon. King Krantivarma (Varde) had banned human and animal sacrifices from what he perceived as increasingly fanatical festivals dedicated to the goddess. As a reaction to this, the cult's high priest (Chandra Mohan) orders the unfortunate Vishwagupta (Kelkar) to kill the king. He obeys, but is then betrayed by the priest and caught. His son Madhavgupta (Mane) and his daughter Sumitra (Apte) join forces with the princess (Nalini Tarkhad), and the people finally overthrow the priest.
