Introduction Of Saif Ali Khan

Saif Ali Khan

Saif Ali Khan is royalty, living life king size. He’s the brat we eyed with indulgence as he played actor-actor until he did a complete turnaround post Dil Chahta Hai and there’s no looking back as he juggles his revived career and lady love Kareena.

The Little Prince
Saif Ali Khan was born on 16 August 1970 in New Delhi, India. His father is Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, the Nawab of Pataudi and a former captain of the Indian cricket team. His mother is Sharmila Tagore, a Bengali actress in Bollywood who converted to Islam on getting married. She currently heads the Indian censorship board. He has two sisters, Saba and Soha who is also an actress.
His familial connections are distinguished to say the least. Saif’s paternal grandfather was Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi who besides being the Nawab of Pataudi, was a cricket player, playing for England and India. His paternal grandmother was Sajida Sultan, the Begum of Bhopal. His great uncle was an Indian General Nawabzada Sher Ali Khan Pataudi. His mother is related to Rabindranath Tagore, a poet and Nobel laureate.

Saif Ali Khan studied at the Lawrence School, Sanawar and the Locker’s Park Prep School. His college years were spent in his father’s alma mater, Winchester College, UK.

He married the much older Bollywood actress Amrita Singh in 1991 raising eyebrows. They had a daughter Sara and a son, Ibrahim. They divorced in 2004. He was dating Rosa Catalano but that didn’t last long. While the media speculated on his new love interest, he walked the ramp with actress Kareena Kapoor at the Manish Malhotra fashion show during the Lakme India Fashion Week, officially confirming that the two were dating and it could definitely lead to more.

A Late Bloomer
1992 to 1998 Saif Ali Khan made his debut with the 1992 Yash Chopra directed Parampara opting out of the Kajol starrer Bekhudi. In 1993, he won the Filmfare Best Debut Award for Aashiq Awaara. Yeh Dillagi and Main Khiladi Tu Anari in 1994 were among the year’s biggest hits. The movies that he acted in over the next three years – Tu Chor Mein Sipahi, Keemat, Udaan, and Hamesha - didn’t really boost his reputation as a solid actor.

1999 to 2003 He played Dhananjay Pandit in Kacche Daage that was appreciated. He was seen as a photographer in the comedy, Biwi No.1. In 2000, he was in Kya Kehna with Preity Zinta in the role of her lover who abandons her when she gets pregnant. The family oriented Hum Saath Saath Hai brought trouble off screen when he was accused, along with some of the other members from the movie, to have hunted down Chinkaras that are an endangered species but was later acquitted.

He changed tracks in 2001 as he appeared in the comedy Love Ke Liye Kuchh Bhi Karega and then as Samir, who wears his heart on his sleeve, in Farhan Akhtar’s Dil Chahta Hai that changed the way people perceived him. It won him the Filmfare Best Comedian Award. Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein, the remake of the Tamil movie Minale, also did well.

2003 to 2008 He won the Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award for Kal Ho Na Ho in 2003 as well as the “Moto Look of the Year”. The year also saw him in Darna Mana Hai and LoC Kargil. In the 2004 movie Ek Hasina Thi he was the cold Karan Singh Rathod, while his role in the light hearted Hum Tum with Rani Mukherji was in complete contrast and won him his second Filmfare Best Comedian Award as well as the National Film Award for Best Actor.

Each of his four releases in 2005 and 2006 – Parineeta, Salaam Namaste, Being Cyrus, and Omkara - had him stretching his range as an actor. Parineeta received critical acclaim; Salaam Namaste was a romantic comedy around the new age relationship dilemmas; Being Cyrus was a critically acclaimed English language movie; Vishal Bharadwaj’s Omkara was an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Othello and Saif’s performance as Langda Tyagi was phenomenal. He won his first Filmfare Best Villain Award.

Compared to this success, his 2007 and 2008 releases didn’t overwhelm anyone. Race was a hit while Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic and Tashan with girlfriend Kareena failed. He also lent his voice to the animated movie, Roadside Romeo.

2009 to 2010 Saif produced and starred in Love Aaj Kal with Deepika Padukone. In Kurbaan, with Kareena Kapoor, he played a terrorist. It was their first hit together as a couple.

Khan’s upcoming movies include Agent Vinod, Race 2, and Karachi Express.

Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik Roshan is a brand unto himself: an enticing combination of star quality, a boy next door appeal, and a complete gentleman. He skyrocketed to fame with Kaho Na Pyaar Hai. His twinkling green eyes, winsome smile, and a lean, chiseled body found a huge fan following.

Soon after his successful debut in Bollywood, he tied the knot with his childhood sweetheart Suzanne Khan, daughter of actor Sanjay Khan and sister of actor Zayed Khan. They have two sons, Hrehaan and Hridhan.

Trouble
He had his bad moments after stepping into the spotlight. His father was shot by the underworld when he refused to give the foreign rights of Kaho Na Pyaar Hai. It was followed by rumours that the actor had made remarks against Nepalese which resulted in outrage against the actor in Nepal. However the actor denied it.

In 2009, he was linked with the Mexican actress, Barbara Mori, with who he shared a kiss in Kites. There were rumours that Suzanne walked out of the house. However, the couple and their families denied any trouble in the marriage.

A Star Is Born….
Hrithik is known to be a perfectionist and has worked hard to be where he is today. He prepares himself thoroughly for every role he portrays, has trained in dance and acting besides working on his diction and his appearance. He started working out under Salman Khan’s guidance, when he worked as an assistant director on the sets of Karan Arjun and Koyla.

He got a taste of Bollywood as a child, when he appeared in the film Aasha (1980), Aapke Deewane (1980), and Bhagwan Dada (1986). But it was the year 2000 that made people sit up and take note.

2000 Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, a love story directed by his father, in which he starred opposite newcomer Amisha Patel was an exceptional success, winning eight Filmfare awards among countless others, two of which landed with Hrithik for Best Debut and Best Actor. This was followed by Fiza with Karishma Kapoor and Jaya Bachchan, in which his portrayal of the terrorist Amaan was appreciated. He played a similar role in Mission Kashmir with Preity Zinta.

2001 Yaadein with Jackie Shroff and Kareena Kapoor wasn’t a big success while Karan Johar’s family drama, the star studded Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham was an instant hit.

2002 The year saw a string of flops like Aap Mujhe Acche Lage, Na Tum Jaano Na Hum, and Mujhse Dosti Karoge, making people question about whether it was downhill from here.

2003 Hrithik removed all doubts with the science-fiction film Koi Mil Gaya with Preity Zinta, in which he played the role of a mentally abnormal Rohit who befriends an alien called Jadoo. He bagged the Filmfare Best Actor Award as well as the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance.

2004 Farhan Akhtar’s Lakshya did moderately well, while Hrithik’s role earned him a nomination for the Filmfare Best Actor Award.

2006 He returned back as Rohit alias Krrish in Krrish, the sequel to Koi Mil Gaya, this time with Priyanka Chopra. The movie was a hit and a top earner. This was followed by the action oriented Dhoom 2, the sequel to Dhoom. He played the baddie Mr A and won another Filmfare Best Actor Award.

2008 In Ashutosh Gowariker’s Jodhaa Akbar, set in the sixteenth century, Hrithik Roshan took over as the Mughal Emperor Akbar. The film did well overseas while in India the response swung both ways.

2009 Fans saw the star mostly promoting his movie Kites at the Cannes Film Festival and in Zoya Akhtar’s Luck by Chance, in which he played the role of superstar Zaffar Khan.

And Continues to Rise
2010 Anurag Basu’s Kites, shot extensively in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New Mexico, will see Hrithik as a salsa instructor in a tragic love story. The movie stars Barbara Mori and Kangana Ranaut.

Acting Career

Abhishek made a good start with 'Refugee' along side Kareena Kapoor in 2000. Although the film didn't do well, his work was praised. The movie earned him nominations for several awards like 2000's most promising debut performer. The same year, he did couple of movies 'Dhai Akshar Prem Ke' and 'Tera Jadoo Chal Gaya'. But the films failed to make a commercial success.

In his early career, media raised a question that 'whether Abhishek copying his father?' Well on this note, actor Sunil Shetty said, "He is very much his own actor."

"Of course, there are moments when he is his father's son, but that's not because he's been influenced, it's more due to the fact that it's in his genes, both from his father as well as his mother."

In the starting days, Abhishek struggled lot to make a hit. In 2001, Abhishek appeared in 'Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai'. Followed by it, he did 'Om Jai Jagadish', 'Desh' and 'Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya' in 2002. None of these films made big at box-office.

Although the movies are not working well, Abhishek's work was being appreciated.

Year 2004 was turned out as good year for Abhishek. His role as a bad guy Lallan in Mani Ratnam's 'Yuva' was received well by the critics as well as the audience.

Sarkar in which he worked with his father, earned him his second Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award. In 2005, he also made special appearances in Salaam Namaste, Ek Ajnabee, Home Delivery, and Neal n' Nikki.

In 2006, Abhishek did a stage show called 'Netru, Indru, Naalai' along with other Bollywood screen stars. The same year he did three other movies: Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Umrao Jaan and Dhoom 2. Umrao Jaan along with Aishwarya Rai was proved to be a disappointment, but the other two were declared as the year's biggest hits. Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna received well in India but made good business overseas. His role inthe film earned him his third Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award. 'Dhoom 2' was the biggest hit of 2006.

Abhishek, Abhi or Junior B gave his first solo hit with 'Guru' in 2007. In 'Guru' he was accompanied by Aishwarya Rai. Soon after the completion of film, they both get married on April 20, 2007.

Abhishek Bachchan's upcoming films include Sarkar Raj, Drona, Pa and Time Machine. Sarkar Raj is a sequel to 2005's Sarkar, while in Drona, Abhishek is playing a kind of superhero.
