Pooja Bhatt is one of those lucky actresses to have an industry-related-family to back her up and quite an understanding father, Mahesh Bhatt, the famous producer-director. Pooja was born on 28 Feb 1972.

Pooja likes her profession a lot and feels she's a part of the Hindi Film Industry. Though she doesn't take her career in the Bollywood so seriously, she's had quite a few good films in her lot.

Pooja, one of the most vaunted newsmakers of our times, is back in the news again. She's turned producer for one. Her own telefilm "TAMANNA". Under her own banner "POOJA BHATT PRODUCTION" which is symbolized by an exclamatory mark - !.

Pooja is known for her unique life style. She's unafraid - anbridled and unabashed kind of woman. A woman of substance.

The most beautiful of the newcomers of the Bollywood and the one who's having a rapid growth towards her career and maturity both as a glamour queen and a performing actress - Rani Mukherjee - was born on 21 Mar '78.

Being a cousin of the most successful actress Kajol, it's obvious that Rani too has got it through her genetic influences to enact the roles she's given. And it's a phenomenon that unless Rani hasn't put loads of concentration and tremendous personal effort in the roles she plays, she wouldn't have been where she is now.

Though she had the introduction into the Bollywood through her first movie "RAJA KI AAYEGI BARAAT", she was in the news with her nonchanlent and wonderful performance in "GHULAM" and with the third movie Rani was in headlines again receiving the "BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS " award from FILMFARE for her active and playful performance in "KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI" thus enhancing herself in the Bollywood.

Rani got the devastating looks, charm and a beautiful face. She could act with all the top actors and work with the top class producers and the directors within a span of 5 years. A great achievement for a newcomer like Rani. May be, she's making it upto her name, like a queen.

The ravishing Raveena Tondon - Bolywood's Blonde - was born on 26 Oct 1974 and made her debut in Bollywood through the film "PATTHAR KE PHOOL" opposite the then top actor Salman Khan in '90.

Raveena Tondon, pet-called Raves in the Bollywood circles, is the most appealing personality among the contemporary female actresses of the "Hindi Film Industry" looking gorgeous with her sexiest figure and expressive, sharp and sexy eyes that add a great deal to her beauty and her most charming personality Bollywood is proud of.

In her films, Raves appears as a glamor gal as most of the roles she's given require her to be rather than a performance-based one for she stands as a synonym for the very word 'glamor'. She just enjoyed these roles in the initial stages of her career but now she's become so choosy about the kind of roles she wants to take up, play and perform and she's more inclined to the roles which are performance-oriented because she wants to put in a lot of effort towards the growth and development of her career as an artist than a mere glamor gal digging out all of her hidden acting capabilities.

And right now Raves is going through this phase of filmi-life where she, having been offered performance-oriented roles, is looking forward to making a name for herself in Bollywood.

The actress with the dusky good looks and chiseled figure is a deeply religious soul, hailed from a conservative South Indian family. Suman Rangnathan who seems to be least bothered by the rumours and scandals that chase her night and day and does whatever she feels like. She has the natural grace and charm which men find irresistible and appealing. Even before she had stepped filmdom, she was in news because of her 'love' for Rahul Roy.

She started off pretty well with Fareb. But today, she is still grappling with a direction for her career. She has been charged with paying more attention towards her personal life than professional life. Sadly enough for her, Suman has been in news more because of the men 'around' her than her performances.

A person reared in the cocoon of cantonment life, in a middle-class suburb of Delhi, now showered with attention of global proportions. An ambassador of feminine beauty, peace, love, and optimism, at an age most kids are worried about getting a driving-license and a drinking permit. That's Sushmita Sen. That's Miss Universe, 1994 orginally born on 19 Nov 1975.

Sushmita is intelligent, but it is an intelligence as yet untainted by realism. Before all this happened, hers was yet a gossamer world, tipped between the cradle and the crown. Creative rather than literal, poetic rather than pedantic, it is these very qualities that endeared her to the viewers and judges.

She has led a rather normal filmi existence and has had her fair share of carping critics, her erratic lifestyle, her unpunctual ways, her live in relationships, her much married boyfriend Vikram Bhatt,her phenomenal asking price, her undeflated ego,her problem and consequent patch up with Akshaye Kumar, all have brought her morethan her share of flak.

The beautiful refreshing face, unmeasurable talent and 5 feet 6 inches tall babe's real name is Aka Tabassum born on 4th November. Mother and fathers names are "Rizwana " and "Jamal Hashmi".Her Sister "Farha" is a well known bollywood actress. Tabu started her film career as a child artiste for Dev Anand抯 Hum Naujawan and since she wasn抰 the lead actress, Tabu gained little mileage from it. The first film she signed on as lead actress was 'Prem', but finally, 'Pehla Pehla Pyar' released first and launched her as leading lady.

In the many movies that Tabu has appeared, one of the most noticeable things is that she wears little or no make-up. This particular trait is not visible among many other actresses of Bollywood. With every film Tabu, has been growing as an actress. Apart from doing Hindi films, Tabu has also worked in a Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam. She wins National Award for 'Maachis' (1997) Critis Award for 'Virasat' (Filmfare - 1998).

Twinkle Khanna, 5'6" tall actress is a daughter of well known bollywood stars Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia is one of the most beautiful women today in Bollywood. Born on December 29 with real name Tina Khanna.

Urmila Matondkar was born on 4th February and started her carrier as a child artist, appears in number of films including her best Masoom in 1982.With insignificant roles in films like Narsimha and Chamatkaar, Urmila realised that even co-star Shah Rukh Khan couldn抰 salvage her literally non-existent career. That was when she decided that she had some serious work to do. Rangeela managed to give Urmila抯 career a much-needed boost.And the credit for her being recognised as an actress goes to the completely besotted director Ram Gopal Verma.

Her role as an extra who goes on to become an actress, perfectly brought out Urmila抯 bubbly side, even though the acting called for some refinement. In Mere Sapno Ki Rani with Madhoo, and in Judaai with Sridevi, Urmila challengingly took up the role of the other woman.

The Macho Man of Bollywood, Ajay Devgan was born on 2nd April in Bombay though the family is basically from New Delhi.

Ajay Devgan, after graduation from "Mithibhai College", has taken to the direction of video films on his own story lines. His entry into the Bollywood is like a bolt from the blue with his first film "Phool Aur Kante" by "Kuku Kohli" hitting the box offices and the sale of audio album of the movie is beyond expectation. Though, later, the films he could produce on their own banner - "Devgan Entertainment And Software Ltd.," - along with his father could not satisfy him, he's not the one who gives up and through his sheer determination and hard work he finally managed to find a place for him among the top and has been working sincerely for his forth coming projects.

Ajay Devgan got married to his long-time girl friend and his professional colleague Kajol and is at the wedding bliss right now.

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. His father's acting reputation helped him enter bollywood easily. His bollywood debut started with his home productions (Vinod Khanna's productions) `Himalay Putra'. Akshaye Khanna fulfills all the requirements of a bollywood modern hero. His suave acting skills helped him to work with all the best bollywood directors.

Akshay Kumar, who is originally called Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia, is born on 7 Sep. His family consists of his dad, mom and one sis and he is called RAJ at home and AKKI by his close mates. Though his filmi career is not upto the mark, he is widely known as Khiladi Kmar in the Bollywood for the kind of man that he is, for his life style, for his affairs with a lot of career girls almost in a way to break up in the end.

Every while he broke up with the one, he had been exploited and this in turn had a lot of impact on his films as well as the girls', although he perfectly knows for himself that he is not a great actor which he once confessed to the world. And may be that's why he wants to get the attention of the world in the other way. But AKSHAY KHILADI KUMAR has 55 films in his bag to date and has had sort of a relation with all the heroines cast opposite him thus establishing the phenomenon that his every fifth movie is worth either named or having a tag - KHILADI.

At 6'1", he looks handsome and keeps himself fit with a healthy stature but apart from his so called incapabilities in acting, he strives much harder in order to prove his mettle through a lot of hard work and determination. He rather seems to be lot more career - - oriented than the rest of the stars, the cause behind the effect being his flops at the box office.

He found a guide and a god father in "Keshu Ramsay" who all the time backs him in low times making one or two films to set him on the track again.

Aamir Hussain Khan, the PET-SHOP boy of the bollywood, was born 14 March 1965 to Tahir and Zeena Hussain into a family of his elder bro Faizal who is a VJ and an actor and two sisters Nikhat and Farhad.

Aamir Khan, who is called AK everywhere, has, though his first movie was Holi, been introduced into the films as a Hero in 1988 with all time musical hit "QAYAMAT SE QAYAMAT TAK" - the numbers of which can still be heard around. AK, being the gentle man and heart throb in the industry, has acted in front of the camera almost with all the heroines and the performance in all his movies is always beyond expectation. In 1996, he has got the "Best Actor" award for his outstanding performance in "Raja Hindustani" which was a smash hit at the box office and Aamir has placed himself among the top heroes of the Bollywood.

Aamir is not just an actor. He likes literature a lot and whenever he finds his time, he enjoys reading the writings of Leo Tolstoy.

In Bollywood, Aamir definitely has a place for his looks and his unique style in the films.

Amitabh Bachhan is, in popular parlance, the king of Indian cinema was born on October 11, 1942 in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India . The older of the two sons of Harivansh Rai, an acclaimed Hindi poet, and the socialite Teji Bachhan, Amitabh went to Sherwood College, a boarding school in the hill-station town of Nainital, and from there to Delhi University where he earned an arts degree. This six feet tall man started the trend of the angry young man in the film industry. Director K. A. Abbas launched him in the film Saat Hindustani which went unnoticed. This versatile actor even did the playback in most of his films. Altogether, Amitabh Bachhan has appeared in over 100 films, an astounding number most of which,were box office blockbusters.

QUITE simply, the answer is Bachchan's string of box office hits. One after the other, the actor's films hit the jackpot with such sustained regularity that in the seventies and eighties, Amitabh Bachchan became the safest bet for producers, distributors and exhibitors alike. Amitabh met with a serious accident on the sets of Coolie, the entire nation united in prayers for his speedy recovery. The prayers turned into a blessing for the superhero, as he returned to the scene with double the impact.

It was love at first sight for Amitabh as Jaya became his spouse and the famous Guddi girl Jaya Bhaduri transformed into Mrs. Bachchan.About ten years later, Amitabh retired from the film world. He then tried his hand at politics.Due to his enormous popularity, not to mention the close association with Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, he was elected to parliament with a huge majority from his home city of Allahabad. He resigned his seat in parliament and returned to cinema.

He launched his company ABCL which is known as Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited which realesed many controversial films like Mani Ratnam's Bombay and Shekhar Kapoor's Bandit Queen and commercial film's like Joy Augustine's Tere Mere Sapne and Sachin's Naam Kya Hai which was produced under the same banner.His company was the principal sponsor of the 1996 Miss World Contest, held in Bangalore.
