He did his schooling from St. Columba's school and has a Masters Degree in Mass Communication from Jamia Milia Islamia, Delhi. He married before he got his break in Bollywood. In a profession where commitment towards wives and girlfriends take the backburner, SRK's devotion towards wife Gauri has been lauded. They have a son Aryan and a daughter Suhana.Shah Rukh started his career as an actor with Fauji (1988), a television serial in which gave him instant success. After a couple of TV serials he joined the big league and gave a smashing hit 'Deewana' (1992) with the late Divya Bharati. After that he gave a series of hit films both as a hero and a villain.In 1993 he shot to stardom with two successive villain roles as a paranoid lover in 'Baazigar' and 'Darr'. In 1995, he got another hit 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' which elevated him as one of the most successful actor in Hindi cinema. After DDLJ he got a series of hit movies which include Pardesh (1997), Yes Boss (1997), Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), Dilse (1998), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Hey Ram (2000), Josh (2000), Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega (2000), Mohabbatein (2000) etc.Shahrukh as one of the ascendants to the Magadha throne in Santosh Sivan's 'Ashoka' (2001) gave a wonderful performance as a romantic, ruthless warrior. Karan Johar's 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham' was another movie in the same year in which he was unable to take full advantage of the character. In 2002, he excelled in 'Devdas', which was India's official entry to the 2002 Oscars.Shahrukh is known as a convincing screen lover, and seems to spark equally good performances from his female co-stars, he has good screen chemistry with almost all his heroines. He has been most successful pairing with Rani Mukerji and Preity Zinta, in hits such as Chalte Chalte (2003) and Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003). He followed his success in 2004, with memorable performances in 'Veer-Zaara', 'Swades'. Veer-Zaara is an epic tale of love between an Indian man and a Pakistani woman, in which he enacted the umpteenth role as the forlorn lover with ease. Swadesh is a film dealing with a social cause - a foreign returned Indian man's journey through the rural heart of his home land and he gave a genuine performance in this movie.He started a production company 'Dreamz Unlimited' with co-star Juhi and director Aziz Mirza. In 2004 another of his production houses, Red Chillies Entertainment, produced the hit film 'Main Hoon Na' and co-produced 'Kaal' in 2005 with Karan Johar. He also produced and acted in 'Paheli', which was India's official entry to the 2005 Oscars. A noted British filmmaker, Nasreen Munni has produced a two-part documentary on Shahrukh, "The Inner and Outer World of Shah Rukh Khan".In his personal life he is very simple and frank. He strongly believes in Muslim-Hindu peace, as do many other Bollywood actors. He was awarded the Padma Shri in 2005. SRK has a superb drive to top in anything he does and says he is never satisfied with whatever achievements he has made. He is too full of zest to be defeated and live quietly. Even if he ceases to be a super star, this talented personality is sure to explore other avenues to succeed. He will continue to be there on the top.

Debut Film : Aashik Awara (1993)

Awards
Fimfare Best Comedian Award 2002 for Dil Chahta Hai, National award for best actor in 2004 (Hum Tum)

Saif Ali Khan, born to two very public personalities, has always merited attention from a curious public. Saif spent most of his formative years in a boarding school in England. He grew up to be a spoilt, completely wild guy as a teenager. At 20, he returned to India and decided that movies were the best option. However, his entry into films was a nightmare. Rahul Rawail threw him out of his debut venture, 'Bekhudi', criticizing him for being undisciplined.While he was going nowhere professionally, his personal life seemed to be very colorful. He was involved with older women including Moon Moon Sen and actress Anu Agarwal. But he shocked his parents when he suddenly married actress Amrita Singh, who was over 10 years older than him. In 2004 they separated after 14 years of marriage and two children. Now he is dating an Italian woman Rosa.With his chocolate-boy looks he became popular amongst teenyboppers with his debut film 'Aashik Awara' But this film failed to get him quality work. He was considered a terrible dancer and a poor actor. Things came to a standstill until Yash Chopra came to his rescue with 'Yeh Dillagi'. The film became a big hit. There was no dearth of offers and Saif signed film after film but none of his films did good business.After his spate of flops, Saif retracted from public life and he suddenly became inaccessible and refused to sign any more films. But soon he made his second entry to films, he was not overexposed at all. He signed good films like 'Dil Chahta Hai' and 'Kya Kehna', both of which became hits. The success of DCH proved his versatility as an actor. He looked terrific, and all that initial awkwardness had vanished. After that there was no looking back.His next hit film was 'Hum Tum' , a romantic comedy. His performance as Karan in this movie was natural and his style was perfect for this movie. He got rave reviews from critics and this movie also fetched many awards including a national award for him. Then he took colossal strides in 'Parineetha'. He handled a complex role with dexterity and enacted his part with flourish. His awesome acting as a serious lover in the movie Parineeta won him critical acclaim. In 'Salaam Namasthe' he delivered a spirited performance and he had worked hard on his looks and physique. Now he is one of the sought after actors in Bollywood.

John Abraham

2008-02-11T07:32:00.011-08:00

Name : John Abraham
Birth name: Farhan Abraham
Date of Birth : 17 December 1972
Height : 6.1
Family : Father is a Malayali Christian architect, born in Kerala, mother is Phiroza, an Iranian, one younger brother- Alan.
Debut Film : Jism (2003)
Awards
IIFA Best Villain Award, Dhoom (2004), Zee Cine Award for Best Actor in a Negative Role( Dhoom.)

John Abraham, present hot star and teenage sensation of Bollywood, began his early years of education at the Bombay Scottish School. He did his Bachelors in Economics and then went on to do MMS from Mumbai Educational Trust (MET). He was working as a Media Planner at Enterprise-Nexus, an ad agency in Mumbai, when one day, a model ditched the shoot and his Boss suggested his name for doing the work. After that he got a hand full of offers and took up modeling as his career. His big break came in 1999, when he won the Glad Rags Manhunt Contest and went to Singapore for Manhunt International, where he won the second place. The half Keralite and half Iraninian, with his international looks, great body, innocent smile and down to earth personality easily became the highest paid supermodel in India.He made his debut in Hindi films in 2003 with an erotic emotional movie 'Jism', which immediately pushed him into the public eye. The same year came the paranormal 'Saaya' (2003) and romantic 'Paap' (2003), both of them failed to click at the box-office. His first blockbuster hit was 'Dhoom' (2004), a thriller loosely based on the Hollywood flick the 'Fast and the Furious', in which he did his role of an evil guy convincingly. His next notable film was 'Madhoshi' (2004) where his screen presence and the credibility with which he plays Aman add vitality to the film.In 2005, he did a lot of films- the list includes 'Elaan', 'Karam', 'Kaal', 'Viruddh', 'Water' and 'Garam Masala'. He acted well in 'Elaan' most of the time, but went overboard in sequences that demanded an outburst. He overcame this fault in his next film 'Karam', where he enacted the role of an assassin working for a mob boss, and made a sincere effort to live up to his role. In 'Kaal', he showed signs of a gifted actor and his performance bolstered his position in Bollywood. His next movie was 'Viruddh', with superstar Amitabh Bachchan, where he stood on his feet in every sequence.Deepa Metha's 'Water', a film about the ill treatment of widows in the 1930s, was his next film where he played the role of an idealist lawyer and got wide international attention. Then he appeared in Priyadarshan's 'Garam Masala' where he made a very brave and largely honest attempt to play the clumsy but conniving pal convincingly. He came up with cool candour in some sequences. He followed his success in 2006 with memorable performances in 'Zinda' and 'Taxi No.9211'.John takes special care of his physique and is considered to be a male sex symbol in Hindi Films. He has endorsed many products like Pepsi and now has his own apparel line John Abraham by Wrangler. A romantic at heart, he is involved with Bipasha Basu, fellow actress and believes in the celebration of life. John is crazy about bikes and goes riding whenever he gets a chance. Recently he was voted as the 'Sexiest actor in India' in a Durex Global Sex survey.

Vidya Balan, the Tamilian Iyer girl from Palghat (Kerala), grew up in Mumbai, did her early years of education at St. Antony's School and later graduated in Sociology from St. Xavier's College. While she was doing her MA from Mumbai University, she got an offer in a Malayalam film titled 'Chakram' with Mohanlal. Unfortunately, the film was shelved mid-way because of some issues between the director and Mohanlal. Then Vidya had to wait for a few more years to make her movie debut.In 1998, this elegant beauty started her career as a model in Surf Excel advertisement. Later she appeared in more than 25 ad films like Ponds, Bajaj etc. Before getting her big break in Bollywood, she acted in a few music videos with Euphoria, Shubha Mudgal, Pankaj Udhas etc. She was also seen in TV serials such as Ashok Pandit's 'Hanste Khelte' and Ektaa Kapoor’s 'Hum Paanch' as well as a Bengali movie 'Bhalo Theko' with actor Joy Sengupta. She won the best actress award, 'Anand Lok Puraskar' for the movie in Kolkata.In 2005, she debuted in Bollywood with Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Parineeta, directed by Pradeep Sarkar. It was nothing short of a challenge for her to capture the grace, elegance and subtle nuances of her character Lolita. She succeeded in making the role perfect with her natural beauty and talent. But it was not an easy feat for Vidya to get her Bollywood break. She had to go through 40 screen tests and 17 make-up shoots before she was chosen for the lead role in this film. After that, she read Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s book on which the movie was based and saw the 1953 celluloid version of ‘Parineeta' by filmmaker Bimal Roy. She has a number of future projects lined up for release.Vidya has a very traditional Indian look in contrast to most of today's Bollywood starlets. She is associated with AmFar (Americans for AIDS Research) and Hale House, a home for children born with HIV and those affected by drug addiction. She also involves herself with the Harvard AIDS Institute, by hosting forums and participating in events throughout the year. No wonder that Vidya Balan is one of the most talked about names in Bollywood today.

Debut Film : Bekhudi (1992)

Kajol, one of the most successful actresses of Bollywood, was born to actress Tanuja and producer Somu Mukherjee. She comes from a filmy family, her grandmother Shobhna Samarth and great grandmother Rattan Bai have been major figures in Bollywood. Famous star of yesteryears, Nutan is her aunt and Rani Mukherjee, another equally successful actress, is her second cousin. Her childhood was laden with happiness and material prosperity.Though she has the girl next door image and is not as glamorous as the others in her field, Kajol is outstanding in her acting. The flexibility of her acting can be seen from the various characters done by this natural actress. She gives more attention to her acting than the financial success of a film.Kajol debuted with the flop film 'Bekhudi' (1992), but she made an impact with her second film 'Baazigar' (1993). This was followed by a fabulous performance in the family drama, 'Udhaar Ki Zindagi' (1994) for which she received rave reviews. Her next movie was 'Yeh Dillagi' (1994) where she showed her full range of acting along with Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. In 1995, she had a hit 'Karan Arjun', with Shahruk Khan. The same year she paired with Ajay Devgan, in two action thrillers 'Gundaraj' and 'Hulchul'. Her 'Dilwale Dulahaniya Le Jayenge'(1995) with Shah Rukh Khan shot her to the top most position in Bollywood. She won the Filmfare Best Actress Award for her performance in this film.She did not do many films in the year 1996. In 1997, she played a villainous role in Rajiv Rai's murder mystery 'Gupt' and became the first woman to win the Filmfare Best Villain Award. Then she was again paired with Ajay Devgan in Indra Kumar's romantic comedy, 'Ishq' which was a huge commercial hit. But the same year, 'Sapnay', a remake of the Tamil hit 'Minsaara Kanavu' with Arvind Swamy and Prabhu Deva, failed at the box office.The Year 1998 was good for her with three successive hits such as 'Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha' with Ajay Devgan, 'Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya' with Salman Khan and 'Dushman' with Sunjay Dutt. But the real blockbuster of the year happened towards the end, with Karan Johar's 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' where her character Anjali played a frivolous role with her boyish look in the first half and a very different sophisticated role in the second. Then came movies like 'Dil Kya Kare' (1999), 'Hote Hote Pyar Hogaya' (1999) etc which failed to draw the same response at the box office.She got married to actor Ajay Devgan on February 24, 1999 and a daughter Nysa was born to them in April 2003. After her marriage she became selective in her roles and joined Ajay Devgan's production company. She was seen in films like 'Raju Chacha' (2000), 'Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi' (2001), Karan Johar's 'Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham' (2001) and 'Kal Ho Na Ho' (2003). She won the third Film Fare award for her brilliant performance in 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham'. After this movie, she stayed away from the film industry for a while. In 2006, she came back enacting the role of a blind Kashmiri girl with Aamir Khan in Kunal Kohli’s 'Fanaa'. Aamir and Kajol showed sparks of brilliance and created an incredible chemistry between their characters.Charming Kajol, with her simplicity, girl next door attitude and exceptional acting talent has won over the audience and has a steady fan following. She is the brand ambassador of Whirlpool products along with her husband. Her younger sister Tanisha appeared in films like 'Neal 'n' Nikki', 'Sarkar' etc. Kajol's eventful journey from 'Bekhudi' to 'Fanaa', shows the power of her versatility, sheer hard work and dedication towards art behind all of her roles. She doesn't give more importance to publicity or celebrity because she believes acting is purely a profession. No wonder then that Kajol is rated as superb among her generation of leading ladies...
