Born on October 10 as Bhanurekha Ganesan , Rekha shot her first Telugu movie at the tender age of 12. At the age of 15, she debuted as a heroine in successful Kannada film Goadalli CID 999 and her Bollywood debut in 1970 Sawan Bhadon made her a star. She learnt Hindi but played glamorous roles till the commercial and critical success Do Anjaane happened in 1976 with Big B. 1978 was a very luck year for her. She earned her first Filmfare nomination for her nuanced portrayal of a rape victim in Ghar and another Filmfare nomination for Muqaddar ka Sikandar, one of the biggest hits of the 70s.

If being a Bollywood hunk and becoming a role model for millions of young men were a test, then Hrithik has passed it with flying colours.

HIS second film showcases not just his muscles and good looks, but his histrionics as well. Although a completely different genre from his debut (Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai), Hrithik proves with Fiza that he is not a one-hit wonder. However, his co-stars manage to steal their own share of the glory: Jaya Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor deliver powerful, hard-hitting performances, and Khalid Mohammed’s directorial debut is as thought provoking and heart wrenching as you could wish it to be.
