Shilpa had no background in ‘Acting’ but her luck worked for her and at the age of 17 she was offered a film in a leading role in her first film opposite ‘Rahul Roy’ in the film named as “Gaata Rahe Mera Dil”but under some circumstances the film was not completed and sadly was stalled. In the year 1993, Shilpa made her debut in the murder mystery, of the film ‘‘BAAZIGAR” with the Bollywood King ‘Shah Rukh Khan’ and Ravishing ‘Kajol’. The film was in a great success.
This film earned her ‘Filmfare Nomination’ for “Best New Comer” In the year 1994, She also achieved a great success in the film “MAIN KHILADI TU ANARI” opposite her ex –boyfriend ‘Akshay Kumar’ who completely gave Shilpa a new image in Bollywood. However, succeeding films in which she made many had done less well at the box office. Shilpa was again ‘Heart – broken’ when her one after the another and at one point films flopped. Due to that she thought of quitting from Hindi Cinema as she was already working in a couple films of Telugu and Tamil. Her some more films were flopped name as ‘PARDESI BABU’, ‘JAANWAR’ and ‘LAL BAADSHAH’, but by having a great luck her flopped films have also earned her award for ‘Best supporting Actress’ from’ Zee Gold Bollywood’.

Shilpa was nominated in the category of 'Best Actress' at every award ceremony, including Filmfare, IIFA, and Screen Awards and some more … But in a film industry where the 'popular' people rules, Shilpa was ignored by every single award ceremonies.

Amisha had also remarked her of taking her as a heroine for his film. He then offered Amisha Patel as the heroine of his debut film during a joint family dinner and she failed to refuse the proposal.

Bollywood Profile of Akshaye khanna

5' 11" tall, Akshaye Khanna was born on March 30, 1975 to the most popular bollywood actor of that time, Vinod Khanna and Geetanjali. He inherits his fabulous looks and acting skills from his father Vinod Khanna. Like most star sons, Askhaye Khanna too was launched by his father Vinod Khanna. And as often happens, the home production 'Himalayputra' was rejected by the audience despite a high-powered publicity campaign. But the star sons have an advantage. They have an identity, contacts and producers willing to give a second (and third) chance. Besides, following papa's policy of playing safe, Akshaye had already signed up for several films.
J.P.Dutta's blockbuster 'Border' wiped out the taste of failures like 'Mohabbat' , where he simply did not suit Madhuri Dixit, once his own father's leading lady.

Rajkumar Santoshi's 'Doli Saja Ke Rakhna', in which he was paired with Naghma's sister Jyotika and 'Kudrat' both flopped. Rishi Kapoor's 'Aa Ab Laut Chalen' somewhat undid the damage, and has again placed him among the winning horses. Akshaye reminds you of his father Vinod Khanna at his zenith, when he quit films and took sanayas.

Seeing that the sons of boozers turn out to be teetotallers, Akshaye is the least likely candidate to find escape in sanyas. His recent releases, 'Laawaris' ( with Jackie, Dimple and Manisha) and 'Dehak' ( with Sonali Bendre) too have not done well. 'Love You Hamesha', 'Agar Tum Na Hote' and 'Deewana Tere Naam Ka' besides several proposals on the table are his under production films. Vinod Khanna's son is more busy than papa was at the same stage. But unlike his father, who saw the tide turning in his favour within months of his debut, Akshaye is still trying to find his feet. Worse, his thinning pate is worrying his producers.

Every journalist in town clamoured to interview the young Khanna who sported a charming smile and cute dimples that turned girls dizzy. But while the world was eager to read about him, Akshay wasn't in any mood to face frivolous questions about the films he'd signed, or his relationship with his father and brother Rahul, or then his views on life in general.
He rejected a couple of seemingly important films including Deepa Mehta's '1947-Earth' (1999). The part eventually went to elder brother Rahul Khanna.

Finally, there came a ray of hope in the form of Rishi Kapoor's 'Aa Ab Laut Chalein' (1999). The film proved to be a modest success and everyone praised Akshaye yet again, although it was Aishwarya Rai who hogged the show for most part.

But even Subhash Ghai's 'Taal' (1999), Akshaye's most prestigious assignment since 'Border', couldn't revive his floundering career. Instead, the film's second hero, Anil Kapoor, repositioned himself as a character actor and wowed audiences with his new image. Taal was a hit and the guy is coming back in a interesting film where he plays an artiste in love with a much older woman.

He used to date Riya Sen.

In 1998, Khanna won the Filmfare Best Debut Award for his role in Border. In 2002, Khanna won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor, for his role in Dil Chahta Hai.

Bollywood Profile of Sunil Shetty

An actor who needs to piggyback on his director for his performance, Sunil Shetty could have done better in business boardrooms, but anyway, made his tinsel town foray with the completely inconsequential films like Balwan, Gaddar or Prithvi.

His beefcake physique and square jawed face made him a director's ideal choice for an action hero, but his expressionless face gave away the ham actor in him. Yet nothing teaches better than experience.

So after a long barren spell at the box office when around 21 out of his 28 films flopped miserably, Shetty finally salvaged his dwindling career with films like Mohra and Border. Then the resounding success of Priyadarshan's Hera Pheri gave his career a new lease of life while Refugee and Jungle has got him on cloud nine.

One of the promising stars to have hit the silver screen in the last decade Sunil Shetty stays clear of petty politics of the tinsel world and maintains a low profile. For this reason perhaps he has the choicest projects in his kitty despite his innumerable debacles at the box office.

Sunil Shetty is quite well known in Restaurant Business in Mumbai.

Sunil Shetty Hit Films are: Balwan, Anth, Mohra, [Dilwale]], Gopi Kishan, Border, Bhai, Hera pheri, Dhadkan, Jungle, Awara Pagal Deewana, Kaante, Qayamat, Hulchal, Main Hoon na, Dus, Phir Hera Pheri. Of recent films he has starred in, he had hits with Dus (2005), Phir Hera Pheri (2006) and Apna Sapna Money Money (2006).

Bollywood Profile of Nana Patekar

Nana Patekar real name Vishwanath Patekar, Nana Patekar was born 1 January 1951 in Maharashtra. He is an Indian actor and filmmaker.

Like most actors, Nana began his career with Marathi theatre. N. Chandra was so impressed with his intensity in the play 'Purush' that he signed him for 'Ankush', a low- budget movie with unknown faces. The film, however did not help boost Nana's career in any way.

It was with Vinod Chopra's 'Parinda', which earned him the National award, that Nana became a force to reckon with. And with his subsequent films like 'Prahaar', which he directed himself, 'Tiranga', 'Krantiveer' and 'Agni Sakshi', he established himself as one the most talented actors.

Nana is known to be brusque and arrogant. It is rumored that producers are wary of signing him for their films because of his reputation of being arrogant, hot-headed and a difficult star to work with. "I am more important to myself," Nana says. "If I'm not happy about something I will not do it. And I am very honest and frank and most of the people in the industry cannot digest that fact. Besides, it is me who has been refusing films. And that is because I sign a film only if I like the script."

Unlike many, Nana detests the idea of doing more than two to three films at a time. "It amazes me how people can switch on and off within seconds. I have to be involved with a film. Anyway, what am I going to get after doing so many films? Money? I don't give much importance to money anyway."

This seems a little contradictory since Nana is said to have hiked his fee after every film. "But I still maintain that money is not important to me at all. But tell me why shouldn't I hike my price. Today, people are approaching me because I am successful. If the producers are selling a film on my name, shouldn't I get my share from them?" he reasons. "But when I demand my price, I also indulge in a lot of social and charity work with the money."

Which is a fact no one can deny. On one of his visits to his village, he had seen an ancient, dilapidated ruin, which he learnt was the burial place of Eshwari bai, who played a very important historical role in the Peshwa period. Nana immediately called for a meeting in the village and drew out a plan and an estimate of how much money would be required to restore the monument. He did Shows and the money that was raked in, was directed there. On another occasion, there was a certain hotel group that needed Nana to inaugurate a hotel. Nana demanded a lakh of rupees. Initially they refused and went away. Later they agreed and the cheque that was given to Nana was handed over to an institution for the handicapped on the spot.

Patekar has also done some playback singing in the films Yeshwant (1997), Wajood (1998) and Aanch (2003).

He is the only actor ever to win Filmfare Awards in the Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Villain categories.

Soha made her acting debut with the Bollywood production Dil Maange More, where she shared credits with Shahid Kapoor and two other leading ladies. Starting off weakly, she has since received critical acclaim for her performances in the Bengali film Antar Mahal and Rang De Basanti. She has been brought up in liberal way, where ever to travel, think and have friends she wants. She was quite a hyperactive child. Very friendly and outgoing always running from one place to another. But never bothered about appearances. She didn't wear too much jewellery nor was colour coordinated.

Soha Ali Khan, however, wants things to be different. She prefers staying alone in Mumbai, managing her own affairs. Her first steps into the film industry are behind her, but she knows she has a long way to go. The actress spoke to Syed Firdaus Ashraf about the release of her latest Bengali film, Antarmahal and a few other issues.

When Soha Ali Khan lights up the marquee, her mother's famed dimples et al, the world will inevitably watch out for the Tagore talent to unfold.

While studying she know exactly that she wanted to be in films in terms of career. She know if started acting before accomplishing her academy, then it wouldn't be possible for her to go back to studying. Her parents had the typical normal parental concerns about joining the films. When she was 12, she meant to play the child in Mira Nair's Mississippi Masala and taken two months leave from school also. But couldn't do the film because she had to get braces.

She had also worked with Citibank and an NGO to get experience which help her when she finally starts acting.
