Actress Shruti Hassan biography

Actress Shruti Hassan biography

Shruti Hassan Biography: Shruti Haasan is an Indian singer turned actress. Her parents are the noted actors, Kamal Haasan and Sarika.

Early career
Shruti Rajalakshmi Haasan was born to actors Kamal Haasan and Sarika on January 28, 1986 in Chennai, India. She also has a younger sister named Akshara, who represents India nationally for Ballroom Latin dancing. Haasan studied at the Lady Andal in Chennai, until 10th grade, when she moved to Mumbai to read psychology at St Andrew’s College.

However, Haasan shifted her focus to cinema and music, and eventually travelled to the USA to continue to learn music at the Musicians Institute in California, before returning to Chennai.

Singing
Shruti Haasan sang her first song aged just six in her father's Thevar Magan in the composition of Ilaiyaraaja. Later while pursuing her studies in school, Haasan made her singing debut in the Hindi language film, Chachi 420, singing a duet performing for the voice of a child, with her father Kamal Haasan, who also directed the film. Shruti Haasan's second song came in Hey Ram, where she sang the bilingual versions of the title theme, Rama Rama with her father, in Hindi and in Tamil. The album from Ilayaraaja, which was critically praised, won Haasan accolades for her efforts with reviewers, Screen India praising that she "has the makings of a good singer, and with some training she should go great guns".

Shruti Haasan, has most recently sung in a Tamil film, for Gautham Menon's Vaaranam Aayiram under the composition of Harris Jayaraj. As of November 2008, Haasan is also midway through her untitled debut album, which she has composed, written and sung, and is set for release in mid-2009.

Acting
After pursuing a career in singing, Shruti Haasan branched out a career into modelling. She started by starring appearing in the Frappe! magazine version of September 2007, since then she has gone on to appear in Verve.

In 2000, Haasan made her cinematic debut in the Tamil and Hindi bilingual film, Hey Ram, directed by her father. She made a cameo appearance as the daughter of Vallabhai Patel in the biopic of Mahatma Gandhi.

After rejecting prominent film offers, most notably the lead role in Venkat Prabhu's Saroja, reports suggested in late 2007 that Haasan was set to make her full debut as a heroine in 2008 with a movie opposite Madhavan directed by Nishikanth Kamath. Despite Madhavan admitting that the news "was premature", she signed up to the film, which was titled, Endrendrum Punnagai, only to be stalled prior to production. Eventually Haasan signed up to Soham Shah's Luck opposite Imran Khan, a Bollywood film.

Music composing
After much speculation, Shruti Haasan was confirmed as the music composer for the upcoming Tamil film Unnaipol Oruvan, with lead role played by her father Kamal Haasan who is also co-producer of the movie under Rajkamal International. The bilingual, is a remake of the successful Hindi film, A Wednesday!, but the soundtracks of both the projects are entirely separate.

Ameesha Patel Biography

Ameesha Patel Biography: Amisha Patel is one of the finest actresses in bollywood today. She took bollywood by storm in 2000 with her bubbly boisterous performance in Rakesh Roshan's "Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai".

Amisha was born on June 9th 1976 in Mumbai to Amit Patel and his wife Asha Patel. Interestingly Amisha Patel's name is a blend of first three letters of her father's name Amit and the last three letters from her mother's name Asha. Amisha is also the granddaughter of late Rajni Patel, the famous lawyer-turned political leader. Amisha has a brother named Ashmit Patel, a promising bollywood actor.

Amisha Patel began learning bharatanatyam, an Indian classical dance form, at the age of five. Amisha finished her high school from Cathedral and John Connon High School in Mumbai; and she served as the head girl in her class during the academic year 1992-1993. She later flew to the United States to graduate in economics with a gold medal from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. After her graduation, Amisha Patel took up work with Morgan Stanley. At the same time she plunged into modeling appearing in several commercial campaigns. Amisha Patel has also modeled for well-known Indian brands like Bajaj Sevashram, Fair & Lovely, Cadburys Jai Lime, Fem, Lux and many more.

Amisha Patel soon returned back to her homeland Mumbai and quickly joined Satyadev Dubey's theatre group, where she participated in several of their stage plays. Later Amisha had a chance meeting with Rakesh Roshan, the ace bollywood filmmaker at one of the family parties. Little did she know then that this meeting would completely change the course of her destiny. Amisha didn't even imagined then that she would soon become one of the biggest stars in bollywood in the coming years.

Amisha Patel finally made her debut with Rakesh Roshan's "Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai" in 2000. The movie also served as a launching vehicle for Hrithik Roshan. The Hindi film became one of the biggest musical blockbuster hits in 2000 and Amisha Patel became a superstar overnight. Her performance has been critically hailed and brought her numerous awards.

Her second bollywood film "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha" {2001} starring Sunny Deol too became the biggest blockbuster hit grossing an over Rs.970 million in India alone. Amisha gave a stunning performance as a Muslim girl falling for a Hindu boy against the backdrop of Indo-Pak riots in 1947. Her histrionic talents have won her accolades, honors and awards including a Filmfare Special Performance Award.

Amisha Patel has since appeared in several notable films including "Humraaz" {2002} starring Akshaye Khanna and Bobby Deol, "Parwana" {2003} starring Ajay Devgan, "The Rising: Ballad of Mangal Pandey" {2005} starring Aamir Khan, "Vaada" {2005} starring Arjun Rampal Vikram Bhatt's "Ankahee" {2006}, "Bhool Bhulaiyaa" {2007} starring Akshay Kumar and many more movies.

Amisha Patel has also delighted the audiences down south with her sizzling performances in Telugu films such as "Badri" starring Pavan Kalyan, "Naani" {2004} starring Mahesh Babu and "Narasimhudu" {2005} starring Jr NTR. This hot bollywood actress has also acted in a couple of Tamil films "Enna Vilai Azhagae" {2000} and "Pudhiya Geethai" {2003}.

Amisha Patel is currently dating Kanav Puri, a London-based industrialist. Earlier she has had romantic links with bollywood director, Vikram Bhatt, who reportedly stood by her thick and thin during her personal crises on home front.

Aishwarya Rai - Biography

Aishwarya Rai - Bollywood actress

Aishwarya Rai Biography: Aishwarya Krishnaraj Rai was born on 1 November 1973 in Mangalore. Her father Krishnaraj Rai was a marine engineer and her mother Vrinda Rai is a writer. She has an older brother Aditya Rai who is in the merchant navy. He also happened to co-produce Dil Ka Rishta in 2003, which starred Ash. The family moved to Mumbai where she studied at the Arya Vidya Mandir and later moved to Ruparel College. She was aspiring to study architecture but that did not take off while her career in the glamour industry took off.

Ash won the coveted Miss World crown in 2004. Soon after this she pledged to donate her eyes after her death. She went on to become the brand ambassador for brands like L’Oreal, Pepsi, and Coco Cola. She struck a pose for many international magazines like TIME and was also voted one of the most attractive and influential women by several polls. She is the first Indian actor to be part of the jury at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. She has appeared in The Oprah Winfrey Show, Late Show with David Letterman, and 60 Minutes. She was also the first Indian actress to be replicated in wax at Madame Tussaud’s Museum in London.

She was briefly involved with actors Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi before marrying actor Abhishek Bachchan, son of the iconic Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. They were married in 2007. The couple have acted together in many movies. They were seen in the latest Lux ad and have been roped in to be part of PETA’s Lovebirds campaign.

The Rai Magic
Aishwarya began her career in the film industry with a Tamil film Iruvar in 1997 which was a hit as opposed to her Hindi film Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya with Bobby Deol. She won the Filmfare Best Actress Award for her next Tamil film Jeans, which was also an entry to the Oscars. In 1999, she gained recognition in Bollywood with hits like Taal and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, in which she played opposite Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan, her role as Nandini fetching her the Filmfare Best Actress Award.

In 2000, her Tamil film Kandukondain Kandukondain, saw a good turnout. She took on the role of Shirley, Shahrukh Khan’s sister in Josh and then played his love interest in Mohabbatein which won her a nomination for the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award. In Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai, she played Preeti Virat, a rape victim and was considered for the Filmfare Best Actress Award. The year 2001 was a quiet year for Ash.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas (2002), in which she played Paro with Shahrukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit, was an instant blockbuster. It also received a special screening at the Cannes Film Festival. She won the Filmfare Best Actress award. In 2003, she acted the part of Binodini in a Bengali film Choker Bali which was based on a novel by Rabindranath Tagore. The film was nominated for the Golden Leopard at the Locarno International Film Festival.

The year 2004 saw Ash in her first English film, Gurinder Chaddha’s Bride & Prejudice, an adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice. Her performance as Neerja in Rituparno Ghosh’s Raincoat was praised. This was followed by her second English film in 2005, The Mistress of Spices, with Dylan McDermott of The Practice fame. Her dance sequence Kajra Re from Bunty Aur Babli became one of the most popular tunes of the year.

She had two films out in 2006. Umrao Jaan with Abhishek Bachchan failed to do well while Dhoom 2 where she played Sunehri and shared a ‘controversial’ liplock with Hrithik Roshan was a big hit. In 2007, she played Sujata opposite Abhishek Bachchan in Guru, based on the industrialist Dhirubhai Ambani and it was successful. Provoked, which was based on a real episode of domestic violence, won critical acclaim. The other English film, The Last Legion, did not do so well.

Jodhaa Akbar, released in 2008, in which she acted the part of Jodhaa Bai with Hrithik Roshan was average. The sequel to Sarkar, Ram Gopal Varma’s Sarkar Raj, in which she plays a CEO alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan, is said to be one of her best performances till date.

In 2009, Rai looked her gorgeous self in The Pink Panther 2 with Steve Martin.

Going Strong
She was also busy shooting for Mani Ratnam’s Raavan with Abhishek Bachchan and Endhiran with Rajnikanth in 2009. Both movies will be released in 2010 along with Action Replay with Akshay Kumar and Guzaarish, in which she will play Hrithik Roshan’s nurse.
