Interesting Facts and Figures : Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone: Deepika Padukone is the latest in the line of super models trying their luck in Bollywood and is being touted along with Katrina Kaif as the next big thing to hit Hindi cinema.

Interesting Facts and Figures : Rajesh Khanna

Rajesh Khanna: No rise or fall of a star has been as been quite as dramatic or spectacular as that of Rajesh Khanna. From 1969 to 1972, the Rajesh Khanna phenomenon swept Bollywood off its feet and the hysteria he generated was unlike anything seen before and after. As superhit followed superhit and women all over the country swooned over him, Rajesh Khanna admitted feeling ‘next to God.’ In fact, Rajesh Khanna could perhaps be called Hindi Cinema’s first superstar. And yet in one of life’s greatest ironies just 5 years later by 1977, his career was in shambles as film after film began failing at the box office. As he fell to the ‘angry young man’ onslaught of Amitabh Bachchan and found himself totally rejected by filmgoers it is said he went to his terrace in heavy rain asking God not to test his patience…

Interesting Facts and Figures: Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar: Akshay Kumar is perhaps the most reliable or ‘saleable’ actor in Hindi filmdom today along with Shah Rukh Khan with practically all his films over the last few years being hugely successfully at the box office. What’s more he has developed from an action hero in B–movies to a reasonably fine actor, in particular, displaying impeccable sense of comic timing in films like Garam Masala (2005), Bhagam Bhaag (2006) and Heyy Babyy (2007). And like Shah Rukh, he has made it to the top rung of Bollywood without any ‘filmi’ connections whatsoever.
