Sanjay Dutt, also known as "Sanju Baba" among his fan circles is one of the most versatile actors the Indian Film Industry has ever seen. From serious roles in movies such as "Vaastav" and "Shootout at Lokhandwala" to comedy roles in "Munnabhai M.B.B.S." and "Lage Raho Munnabhai", Sanjay has practically done it all. The actor has also indulged in playback singing in movies like “Kaante”. His pals and his co stars look up to him as an icon and has huge fan followings across the globe. With a towering 6 foot 2 inch frame, he has always been projected as the macho man and the bad boy of Bollywood.
It all started when Sanjay Dutt was born on July 29, 1959 to Bollywood's power couple Sunil and Nargis Dutt. Sanjay had his first brush with acting when he as a child artist played a role in his father's 1971 movie "Reshma Aur Shera". He debuted as an actor in 1981 in the movie "Rocky" which was a big hit, however it did not give him star status. Trouble has always courted Sanjay Dutt and it seemed to follow him throughout his career .
Sanjay developed an addiction towards drugs during his years at Lawrence School in Sanawar and when his mother passed away right before the release of “Rocky”, the actor went into a drugged world. Sanjay was sent to Texas, United States for a rehabilitation program to battle his drug addiction. A sober Sanjay Dutt started to pave his path in the film industry after returning to India.
In 1987, he married a small time actress Richa Sharma but the couple separated after the birth of his daughter Trishala. To make matters worse, after Richa expired due to brain tumour, he lost the custody of his daughter to his in-laws. As he steadily built his career with hits such as "Sadak", he received his first Filmfare nomination for his role in the movie "Saajan" in 1991.
Throughout his career Sanjay has had trysts with law, with him being on the wrong side more often than not. When one of his movies “Khalnayak” was released, he was arrested by the police in connection with the 1993 Mumbai bombings. Coincidentally, the actor portrayed a villainous role in the movie. The film went on becoming a big hit and was the big breakthrough in Sanjay’s career. He spent 18 months in Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail following his arrest but received plenty of support from his fans and the film industry. Upon Sanjay’s release from prison in 1995, the actor married model Rhea Pillai. He developed a “macho man” image and built a fan following with excellent acting in movies such as “Vaastav”.
His portrayal of a gangster in “Vastaav” earned him tons of awards. Tragedy struck again when he separated from his wife Rhea Pillai and in the same year his father Sunil Dutt passed away. Still, after going through so many shocks during the course of his career, he maintained his quality acting skills and continued to impress with movies like “Munnabhai M.B.B.S.”., after which fans lovingly began to call him Munna Bhai. The actor also ventured into the line of production and formed a production company called “White Feather Films”.
Sanjay continued to prove his versatility with the super hit comic “Lage Raho Munnabhai” and the action movie “Shootout at Lokhandwala”, another feather in the cap of his production company. In November 2006, the actor was yet again arrested for possession of illegal arms and in the epic trial that followed, his bail was extended many times. In 2007, he was sentenced to 6 years of rigorous imprisonment. Despite all his legal troubles, the fans and film industry have continued to support him, perhaps because every time he faces a setback, he claws back and manages to rebuild his career.
The list of awards this revelled actor has received is long. He received the IIFA Award for Artistic Excellence and the Filmfare Best Actor award for his role in Vaastav. For Munnabhai MBBS, he won the Filmfare Best Actor in a Comic Role Award. He also had various nominations for Lage Raho Munnabhai, Kante, Mission Kashmir and Parineeta.


Anil Kapoor is one of the most established and versatile actors of Bollywood today. One of the very few heroes who have ever kept a moustache and been popular with it, Anil Kapoor has created a niche for himself in the industry such that at the age of 46 is well above the new breed of heroes and has always been respected despite the ruling Khans. Anil himself belongs to a family that has been well-versed in the film industry. He was born on the 24th of December, 1959 in Mumbai to film producer Surinder Kapoor, who is a cousin of the legendary Raj Kapoor, and Nirmala Kapoor. Anil was brought up in Mumbai with elder brother Bonney Kapoor who is now an established film producer and younger brother Sanjay Kapoor who is now an actor in Bollywood. He did his schooling from the Our Lady of Perpetual Succour High School and graduation from St. Xavier’s College. He then went to the Pune Film and T.V Institute of India to learn the nuances of acting and pursue his dream of becoming an actor.
Anil’s career of almost a 100 films began in 1979 with small supporting roles in movies, such as Hamare Tumhare and Shakti. However, the movie that got him into the limelight as a hero was Woh Saat Din in 1983. He essayed the role of a simpleton with panache in this movie and most people actually confuse Woh Saat Din to be his first movie. Woh Saat Din was the first and a very lucky feather in his cap and won him films with top film makers such as Yash Chopra and Subhash Ghai. Anil won his first Filmfare award in 1984 with his very next film Mashal. The award was for a role as a supporting actor. He seemed to rule the 1980s with memorable movies such as Meri Jung, Karma, and Chameli Ki Shaadi. One his biggest hits in 1987 and remarkable movies in the history of Indian cinema was Mr. India. The movie took him to the heights of stardom. The glorious 1980s ended with the commendable Tezaab, Parinda, Eeshwar, and Ram Lakhan. Anil won his first Filmfare award as the best actor for Tezaab in 1988.
The 1980s were not just good for Anil on the career front but also on the personal front. Anil got married to girlfriend Sunita in 1984. For a person who loves and adores his family, Anil was blessed with a daughter, Sonam, in 1985. After Sonam, the couple had another daughter Rhea and a son Harshavardhan. Sonam is soon going to seen on the big screen in a much awaited movie Saanwariya by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
The 1990s were a mixed bag in Anil’s career. From 1990 to 1996 Anil did a lot of movies, many of which were not successful at the box office. Though, a few of his movies released during this period also became hits, such as Beta that won him the Filmfare best actor award in 1992, 1942- A Love Story, and Trimurti. From 1997 to 1999, Anil did some very memorable movies, such as Virasat, Judaai, and Biwi No. 1 which became hits at the box office. The power-packed performance in a unique role in Virasat, won Anil the Filmare Critics Award for the best actor. Anil was never an actor for a season and his success story continued in 2000 with an incomparable performance in Pukaar for which he won a National award in 2001. From 2000 to 2007 Anil has worked in almost 19 movies that have tasted mixed fortune at the office.
Anil finally turns producer with the movie Gandhi, My Father. Let’s now wait and watch whether the actor for all seasons and genres also turns out to be a successful producer – we hope he does!











After the era of Amitabh Bachchan & Anil Kapoor the trio ‘Khans’ ruled the Bollywood industry. It was Amir Khan, Sharukh Khan and Salman Khan. Salman Khan started his career with the film “Biwi Ho To Aisi” which was not a commercial success. But the next film of his “Maine Pyar Kiya”was a very huge hit, which created a trend of romantic movies following it.
Born in Madhya Pradesh to a film script writer, Salim, the actor was able to make a name in the Bollywood industry. Still unmarried Salman Khan is a heart throb of girls all around the world. He got 2 brothers and 2 sisters. He is the eldest son of his parents. In the years 1990-1992 his three films were super hits,”Baaghi”,”Sanam Bewafa”,”Saajan” were the films. In 1993 his films which were released were flop. In 1994 his biggest blockbuster was released “Hum Apke Hain Kaun” with Madhuri Dixit. It breaks all the collection records of the past time and his performance was good in that film. It is still considered to be the best performance done by Salman Khan. It gave him Fimfare Award for the best Actor.
In 1995 another block buster of him was released “Karan Arjun”, co-starring with Shah Rukh Khan. In 1996 “Khamoshi” and “Jeet” were released which were declared hit. His performance in Sajay Leela Bansali’s “Khamoshi” was appreciated widely.After these he acted in many films and guest appearances with different directors. The actor won Film fare award for best supporting actor for “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” for his guest appearance. In 2002 he was arrested for killing one man and injuring 2 others, when Salman Khan ran his car on to them driving under the influence of alcohol. actress
But the actor was later sentenced free from that case. Legal actions continued in Salman Khan’s life when the actor was allegedly hunted down “Chinkara” deer, which is a protected endangered species. He was sentenced for one year prison but was later freed on a stay from the High Court. Again the actor was sentenced for a 5 year jail for the same case and he was in prison for 6 days, before he got bail.
His relationship with actress Aiswarya Rai was a hot topic for the media. Later he broke up with Aishwarya.Throught his career Salman Khan has been a friend of controversies. Even so with his performances in “Khamoshi” , “Tere Nam” ,”Hum Apke Hain Kaun”,”Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam” the actor has proven that Salman Khan is one the best in the Bollywood Industry.

Unconventionally good looking, exuberant, energetic, and multi-faceted are just the right words to describe the very popular actor, producer, playback singer, and TV anchor, Shahrukh Khan. He is one of the most popular and loved Bollywood stars, who has been compared to the likes of legendary actors Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan. He has reigned Bollywood since early 1990s and with his never-say-die attitude and love for movies he is expected to stay at the top for long. His life has been just like one of his melodramatic family movies with happiness, love, pain, success, failures, and more success.
Shahrukh Khan was born on the 2nd of November, 1965. He was brought up with his sister Shehnaz, lovingly known as Lalarukh, by their Muslim, pathan parents. His parents were originally from Pakistan but were based in Delhi’s Rajinder Nagar area post partition.
Very bright and energetic as a child, Shahrukh Khan was an all-rounder during his school days at St. Columbus. His school applauded his excellence in academics, sports, and extra-curricular activities (obviously read ‘drama’!) by awarding him the Sword of Honour. He completed schooling in 1985 and joined Economics (Hons.) course in the well-known Hansraj college, Delhi University. He was actively involved in the college dramatics society. Apart from college and dramatics, another thing that he was actively involved in was the love of his life, Gauri Chibber. He met Gauri, about five years younger to him and now his wife, at a common party. After a long affair and almost a Dilwale Dulhaniye Le Jaenge kind of ‘wooing the family’ gig Shahrukh finally married Gauri in 1991. During the period between 1988 and 1991, he was involved in his Mass communication (Film making) course at Jamia Milia Islamiya University for a year and doing theater with Barry John. This was approximately the same time at which he began his career as an actor.
Not many people would know but Shahrukh Khan’s first occupation was as a restaurateur. He opened up a small restaurant in Darya Gang area of Delhi but fortunately called quits and chose acting. Shahrukh Khan started his inimitable acting innings on television with an inconsequential role in the serial Dil Dariya as a Sikh boy. Dil Dariya was followed by a more powerful and noticeable performance in the serial Fauji in 1988. A few more serials, such as Circus, followed Fuaji until Shahrukh Khan got his first golden chance in bollywood through the movies Deewana and Dil Ashna Hai in 1992.
Deewana went along to become a hit and Shahrukh Khan hit it off with the audience. The emotion-packed performances in Dil Ashna Hai, Deewana, and Chamatkar were followed by the power-packed performances in negative roles in the movies Darr, Anjaam, and Baazigar. Baazigon got him the much coveted Filmfare award for the best actor – his first claim to fame in the popular cinema category! Very early in his career, apart from the masses, he also became a favorite with the critics with movies such as Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa. His fan following increased manifolds in 1995 with the inimitable love saga Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaenge. Success followed in the form of some memorable movies from 1997 to 2006, such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dil Se, Devdas, Main Hoon Na, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, and Don.
A few flops were also a part of his career but his fans must have forgotten those in comparison to the superhits that he has delivered. His much awaited movie in 2007 is Chak De India in which he carries a new mature look as the coach of the Women’s hockey team of India – the promos of the movie sure seem promising as ever! Over his acting career spanning over 15 years, he has probably won awards in all suitable categories – best debut, best actor, best actor (critic), and best villain. The love that his fans bestow upon him became evident when he was voted as the most searched for Bollywood actor on the Internet! He has also won awards and recognition at national level, which include Rajiv Gandhi Award for Excellence in the Field of Entertainment and the Padma Shri. At the international level, his popularity became evident when his wax statute was set up at the respectable Madame Tussauds Wax Museum.
While Shahrukh Khan’s career was climbing the ladder of success with every passing year, on the family front his happiness knew no bounds when Aryan and Suhana were born to Shahrukh and Gauri Khan in 1997 and 2000 respectively. A doting, protective, and indulgent father, Shahrukh Khan was recently in news for gifting a luxury car to his son. Although family life has been full of pleasure for him his health has not really been with him. He was operated for a severe back and neck problem in London a few years back. The blessings and love of his fans find him in good health today with his never ending flow of energy.
Acting is not Sharukh Khan’s only forte. He has also set up twp production houses Dreamz Unlimited and Red Chillies Entertainment. Dreamz Unlimited was setup in collaboration with Juhi Chawla and Aziz Mirza and produced movies including Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Asoka and Chalte Chalte. Kaal and Paheli were the products of Red Chillies Entertainment. Shakrukh Khan’s love for versatility also encouraged him to sing in his movies Josh and Don. His fans loved his deep uncanny way of signing was as much appreciated by his fans as his acting – after all it was the king of Bollywood singing! Not many would know that he has also directed stunts for some of his movies including Main Hoon Na, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and the upcoming Chak De India.
Shahrukh khan is an actor par excellence and loved by millions of fans across the world. He recently returned to television with the extremely popular show Kaun Banega Crorepati, as Amitabh Bachchan’s successor. Despite comparisons with his predecessor, criticism, he managed to impress the television audience just as he had done during his Fauji days. His charm and zeal defies the conventional image of a successful hero in Indian cinema and has made him one of the most popular personalities in the world. The saddest incidents of his life have been the death of his father in 1981 and mother in 1991. Although the loss cannot be compensated but it is their blessings for their talented son that have brought him this far and will keep him going.

Counting from the stars before his era &stars of his era, Amitabh Bachchan is the biggest star ever produced by the Bollywood industry. Starting his career as a Muslim poet in the film “Sat Hindustani” he has come a long way in the Hindi film industry. At the age of 65 actor Mr. Amitabh Bachchan has done so much variety of films and roles which other actors are dreamed of doing.

A rumor was spread out that he died in the accident, but he was able to come back to the industry and the film was able to become a hit in the box-office when it was released in 1983.
In 1984 he won MP candidacy in Allahabad by the highest victory margin ever for a parliamentary candidate in Indian history from the congress party. However he resigned his post after 3 years followed by alleged scandal by his brother in the “Bofors scandal”. He later joined Samajwadi Party, and his wife Jaya Bachan became a Rajya Sabha member.
