Anil Kapoor, one of the top ten heroes of the Bolly wood, was born on the eve of the XMAS ie 24 Dec. Anil's family consists of his dad and mom, his two brothers - Boney Kapoor the producer Sanjay Kapoor who is also an actor and one sis who lives in Delhi. However, the family somehow belongs to the KAPOOR dynasty as Raj Kapoor and Anil's dad Prithviraj Kapoor are cousins in relation.

As for the debut in Bollywood, Anil's first movie was "Woh Saat Din". His films "Andhar Baahar", "Maashal" and Shakti" did pretty well at the box office as ANIL co-starred with Dilip Kumar, Jackie Shroff and Amitabh Bachchan respectively. Anil actually got a chance to prove his skill when SUBHASH GHAI, one of the Hollywood's pride, offered him "Karma" in which ANIL's performance won the applause of the industry as well as in "Ram Lakhan" in which he could dance stunningly to the tunes.

Though Anil's first phase in filmi world is a combination of hits and flops, the way he later could get the attention and attraction and the way he withstood the unmatching competition in the industry thus becoming one of the top ten, was always outstanding.

In 1989, Tezaab did all the magic for Anil Kapoor in which his "Munna" characterisation has got all the praise instantly shooting him right on to the top place. All the films of Anil with Sri Devi and Madhuri Dixit are major hit films in his career that the dual combination meant so much . "Mr. India", "Lamhe" and "Laadla" with Sri Devi hit the box office and "Tezaab", "Ram Lakhan", "Parinda" and "Kishan Kanaiah" with Madhuri Dixit could bring the best out of him successfully. YASH CHOPRA's "Lamhe" projected Anil in two dimensional romance with Sri Devi. In ,"1942 LOVE STORY", Anil plays a very much diplomatic role with Manisha Koirala.

Subhash Ghai's "Taal" Starring Anil Kapoor, Akshay Khanna and Aishwarya Roy is a Mega Musical hit, as well as "PriyaDarshan's" "Hum Aapke Dil Me Rehate Hain" starring Anil and Kajol is a musical hit and later Anil's - "Mann" - was a super hit and did well at the box office.

Today, Anil Kapoor enjoys the hi-fi stage as far as his filmi career is concerned but throughout he worked hard to achieve this place that he is nowin and his VIRAASAT won him VIDEOCON SCREEN award in the best actor category in '97. Anil's award gallery includes Best Supporting Actor for "Maashal" in '84, Best Actor for "Mr. India" in '88, "Tezaab" in '89, "Beta" in '93 from FILMFARE, and "Viraasat" in '97 from VIDEOCON and SCREEN. And he got Critics Award for "Viraasat" in '97 from FILMFARE.

Anil Kapoor, apart from his most successful profession that keeps him busy with sort of a tight schedule, is a family man. He got married to his dressdesigner Sunita who owns an integrated dance and exercise academy in JUHU.It's one of the best aerobic gyms in BOMBAY. Anil's got two daughters Sonam and Rhea and Harshavardhan , the heir to the Kapoor dynasty.

Bobby Deol was born on Jan. 27, 1967 with original name Vijay Singh Deol . Father is Dharmendra , older brother Sunny are popular bollywood stars. He has the advantage of a 'filmi' background so he didn't have to struggle too much. This 6 feet and 1 inch , Long haired guy, does only solo hero projects, unlike the other stars of his generation. One thing you must admit for Bobby Deol-he's improved with each outing at the turnstiles. He was dating Puja Bhatt before he married Tanya.

Chandrachur Singh, the doe-eyed actor was born on 11th Oct '68. It's a phenomenon that after six years of unhappy existence in Bollywood and after taking a decision of going back was he taken aback to get an opportunity in a project that had given him a break and a chance to prove himself again.

In fact, the film industry is just one destination for him but it didn't embrace him for six years in spite of all the sweat he put in and that's the reason behind his decision to quit the WOOD and go to his old profession to teach music when ABCL approached him with a project which he readily grabbed as he was looking for one. The movie "Tere Mere Sapne" offered by ABCL in which he was an NRI was enough to prove himself and it was a superb hit at the box office.

Later - he was known as Chandrachur 'Maachis' Singh in Bollywood as his next movie 'Maachis' won him all the glory he was overwhelmed with and in a night he was the craze of girls. He won VIDEOCON SCREEN and FILMFARE awards for the display of his performance in 'MAACHIS' that boosted up his morale to act and survive in the field.

Singh co-acted with the best actors and actresses in Bollywood to date. Though his movie 'Sil Sila Hain Pyar Ka' with Karishma Kapoor was an average, he had a lot in that film to exhibit his acting capabilities. And he wasn't stern for the loss of six years in the industry nor was he looking for excuses but he fought back to get a place in the tough competition of Bollywood and now he's still there to give the best and prove himself time n again.

Fardeen Khan, was born on March 8, 1974 to superstar actor, director Feroz Khan and Sundari Khan . He is a typical Pisces. Stubborn yet caring, affectionate and very hard working. He entered films in 1998 with a home production, directed by father Feroz Khan "Prem Aggan".

It is true that Fardeen Khan is the best looking bloke in, well, Bollywood. He is perhaps from his generation (Abhishek Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Aftab Shivdasani, Tusshar Kapoor etc., etc.,) not only the best looking of the lot, but also perhaps one of the most educated and flamboyant of the lot. Yet, in front of the camera, he lacked the very glitz.

Fardeen Khan was born in India but has a very "in-between" accent because he has studied abroad a lot. A graduate (Business Management Degree) from the University of Massachusetts, USA, Fardeen Khan has a non-Indian accent which clearly comes across on the big screen. He also has very western looks which, in the past has been a negative point for a lot of actors because they can't easily fit into the stereotype, typical Indian male roles.

Fardeen restrategized and succeeded. He may not be the high-profile triangle of Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman and he is just not one more Khan who has amazed the Bollywood.

The attraction he gets is not inconvenient to his privacy but he enjoys every bit of it. Surprising he also doesn抰 nurse a grudge on the media. That's quite notable and will help he climbing the opinion polls. On the whole, he is contented the way his life is shaping and feels much richer person.

Natural dancer and mass hero, Govinda. Chi Chi, as he is popularly known, was brought up in a middle class family. He grew up in Virar, a suburb of Mumbai. He started his film career with illzam but was recognized as an good actor in Hathya. He began to do comic roles since his movie Aankhein. Almost all the movies that he teamed up with director David Dhawan were box-office hits.

He is a religious man and his inspiration to work comes from his mother who is also a religious woman. His brother, Kirti Kumar, is a film-maker too and the director of Hatya and Ilzaam movies.

Govinda's comic roles took him to the heart of many hindi movie lovers. He is loved by his co-stars too---he is Raveena Tandon's and Karishma Kapoor's favourite co-actor.

Hrithik Roshan, the new comer into the Bollywood and The Heart Throb of the girls around India is born to the gentleman actor-director of the Bollywood, Rakesh Roshan.

Hrithik Roshan first movie "Kaho Na.. Pyar Hain" produced and directed by his dad is still doing all the magic for the new comer and the movie is a superb hit at the box office making the girls go crazy about him and all the movie-goers, of course. In one night, the boy who was an unknown personality to the Bollywood had to taste the aroma of the hit and is undoubtedly going to be a run for the stars who are already established there in the field. Though his debut movie has hit the media head lines highlighting Hrithik Roshan as the super model of the Bollywood, the perfect hero and the complete actor, Hrithik wants to be in a low-profile classification and gives all the praise to his dad - "the credit goes to dad for presenting me so well. People say i have vindicated dad by giving him the biggest hit of his career. I look at it a little differently. Dad has vindicated me by his hard work and his magic. The success has nothing to do with me. You'll have to see my other films to appreciate how hard dad worked to bring the best out of me" - was Hrithik's appreciation of his dad for the movie.

But one could see the amazing abilities of Hrithik in all the departments - be it dance, expressions, stunts and a lot of other skills he's surprisingly posessed and exhibited in the very first movie that he acted in apart from a healthy and unbeatable physique that he's got which is a vital factor of being a heart throb in the WOOD. Though it's the sheer determination of his dad, Hrithik too put in a lot of dedication and hard work which is clearly visible in the movie "KAHO NA PYAR HAIN"

Inspite of all the glory that his first ever movie "Kaho Na.. Pyar Hain" won him, Hrithik tends to be as normal as he's used to be, keeps his cool and the way he talks about the life after the grand run of his movie makes one spell-bound. The shoot out on his dad which is the dropout of the grand run of his movie had him announce his decision to quit the Bollywood which he loved a lot. Though the hit was a dream come true, the attack on his dad was a nightmare making Hrithik think that the world is crazy. He just couldn't digest and get over the fact that he happened to be on the threshold of losing his dad who means so much to him and that had given him sleepless nights.

But Hrithik Roshan is back in "FIZA".

"FIZA" is one of the few films he signed long time before the release of his first movie "Kaho Na.. Pyar Hain". Hrithik Roshan plays a boy of 14 years in "FIZA" which is quite contrary to the two roles he had in his first movie. The expectations are as high as the sky but the actor who is the heart throb of the Bollywood today is unmoved by the media's hype about him. Hrithik Roshan, with all the greatest qualities in him - has got his own speciality differing from all other stars or actors in the Bollywood.

And as far as his family life is there, he says he's very much looking forward to getting out of this phase and spend his happy times with his mom, dad and his long time love Suzanne Khan.

Salman Khan, born 27 Dec.'65, is one of the Bollywood's highly popular stars in Tinsel Ville, who, at 5'7" looks charmingly handsome and who actually comes from a family that already has acquintance of the industry with his father Salim Khan songs and script-writing the films for years.

Salman Khan, who is called "Salu" at home, is the eldest of three sons in the family with the younger bro "Arbazz" and the youngest bro "Sohail" in the departments of action and direction of films in the industry, respectively.

Though Salman Khan had a low profile after his first appearence in "Biwi Ho To Aisi", he, successfully, managed to get the attention of a few top class directors and in the way got a big break through Sooraj Barjatya's blockbustser movie "MAINE PYAR KIYA" which broke all kinds of records and at the box office - giving the transformation to him from a low profile category to the high profile in one night. The movie "Maine Pyar Kiya" was given a lot of praise in the industry doing a whole lot of good things for everyone in the movie and to top it all, was given the consideration as SHOLAY - II.

Comes another hit "Patthar Ke Pool" with Raveena Tandon but he was suddenly under the clouds of shadow as a few films of his had flopped and failed at the box office and again Raj Shree comes to his rescue giving him a chance in HUM AAPKE HAIN KOUN. Later on, there was no looking back for him as he has risen to the stardom and the life in the industry has been a walk on the bed of roses.

Afterwards, he signed two movies of his director-brother Sohail - namely, "Auzaar" and "Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya.."

He has taken the graduation when he got the FILM FARE's "Best Supporting Actor" for his role in "Kuch Kuch Hota Hain" which shows his maturity as an actor and his roles in "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" and "Jaanam Samjha Karo" are worth of appreciation.

Since "Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge" and "Chal Mera Bhai" did pretty well at the box office, all eyes of the industry are set on his new release "Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega" which is so unfortunately not faring upto the expectation. No doubt, Salman Khan is one of the best actors the industry has ever produced. He is one of the Bollywood's great actors.

Sharukh Khan, the NO 1 hero and actor in the Bollywood today, was born on 2 Nov 1965 in New Delhi. He did his schooling in "ST. Columbia High School" - New Delhi, graduated from "Hansraj College" and then did his Post Graduation in "Mass Communications" from "Jamiya Miliya Islamiya" - Delhi.

The debut of the Khan in to the Bollywood was a phenomena. He had no godfather, no love story for him to begin with but quite amazingly a negative characterisation which he had to check himself with. Might be - who knows he opted for that but what an exhibition of a skill! It's not just one skill he actually posessed - but an ocean of skills. An all round capacity and versatility of skills.

Sharukh Khan, flying hi fi with his anti-hero appearence in "Baazigar" and "Deewana", has triggered alarming waves in the Bolywood of the birth of a new actor who's obviously going to challenge the very existence of the stars who are already there vying for the top place . And in "Darr", it happend. With these three films being swashbuckling hits at the box office, there was no doubt that Sharukh Khan was going to take over because these films brought the best acting capabilities out of him as well as his other extraordinary skills like - speech, looks of fierce and noble actor and an amount of immeasurable energetic strength coupled with the height of self estimation which put all the producers and directors on their feet to get after him. And he could do all a favor by giving all just more than what he's paid for.

And then, Sharukh is a non stop. No movie that he has acted in could drown him but could bring out and unearth a new dimension in him doing a favor to everyone involved with the movie. Even Sharukh could learn a lot from his films. He's got the maturity movie after movie and that is the great thing about him that could do the magic for him inspiring the likes of "Kamal Hasan" inviting Sharukh Khan to act in their films.

Sharukh Khan is total family man with his love-wife Gauri Chibber who graduated from New Delhi and the two children. Though he's very much fond of a baby girl, he was first blest with a son Aryan on 13 Nov 1997 and as he wished, a daughter just recently. Sharukh and Gauri are known as the best couple in the Bollywood because he's got an undying obsession for her and when it comes to his films, he always sticks to his moral values - ie - no kisses on the screen or no poses for the photographs with his lady actresses for the covers of magazines and so on but he's having a very good rapport with all the filmi personalities in the Bollywood and is highly respected for his manners and life-style off the screen.

And the awards he got for his films are - "Best Actor Award" in '93 for "Baazigar", "Best Villain Award" in '94 for "Anjaam", FILMFARE's "Best Actor Award" in '96 for "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge", "Best Actor" from FILMFARE in '97 for "Dil To Pagal Hi", "Best Actor Award" in '97 for "Dil To Pagal Hi" from LUX ZEE and "Critics Award" for "Kabhi Ha Kabhi Na".

SRK same b'day dgn my guy.

Sunil Shetty, one of the few macho men in the Bollywood, was born on 9th Aug. He made his debut in films in 1992 with "Balwann" opposite Divya Bharati. He worked with all the stars both males and females and the directors in the Bollywood.

Sunil Shetty, the LEO man, is best known for his style in thrills - the way he manhandles the villain group and executes the fights. And he's known for his gentlemanly attitude off the screen too.

& off the screen, he has quite a happy home with his wife "Manna" and the two children "Atiya" and Aahan".

Sunny Deol born to filmstar Dharmendra as Ajay Singh Deol. This 5'9" tall guy made his debut as a teenage romantic hero in Betaab. Action roles seemed to be his forte, but he also tried his hand at romantic roles in several movies.

His powerful draw at the box office...the 'dhishum dhishum' comes so naturally as does a getlemanly demeanour which attracts women in hordes. Additionally his ever youthful look is a major plus point in itself.

From romantic hero to the rebellious, unemployed angry young man out to get justice, the blockbuster Ghayal established Sunny as the action hero in Bollywood. Lately, Sunny has been busy with other work apart from acting - directing. For now, Sunny has his hands full and more home productions seems to be in the offering.

Women from India achieved a rare triple when Diya Mirza of Hyderabad won the Miss Asia Pacific 2000 title, making a clean sweep of the top three beauty pageants in the world in a single calendar year. At 18, a quiet, 5'6" tall, introverted girl entered the Femina Miss India Contest to have some fun. She walked away with 3 titles.

Diya,a versatile personality, inherited her enchanting eyes from her Bengali mother and her complexion and colour of hair to her German father. Dee (her nickname) is also a very philosophical person, maybe because she has seen so much at such a young age. Her parents separated when she was just six.The strongest influence in her life has been her mother, who has been like a friend, philosopher and guide.

After her 10th boards she took up a summer job with a computer firm. With this she got a good break in Marketing line and thus started her career. Soon after, modeling assignments from Emami, Lipton etc started coming to her.

Diya Mirza, reaches out to millions of people with her beautiful smile and attractive eyes. Diya is an exclusive beauty in herself. After facing great hardships of life, her determination strengthened to achieve fame and success. Her source of motivation being her own dream, have made her life different.

As a career move, the Hyderabad girl shifted to Mumbai, away from home and family. Compromises have been difficult, but necessary. And now Mirza who won over a lot of hearts with her poise is poised to take on Bollywood with elan.
