Plot

Chandni (Urmila Matondkar), a lower classed talented night club singer and dancer, who happens to be religious, and well mannered, lives an unfortunate life with her three aunts, who dominate her life, and with a weak maternal grandmother. She Dances for a Living because it is the only way she can support her poor family and she hopes to give her nieces an education.

One night while singing she meets Rahul (Salman Khan), a young wealthy womanizer, and falls in love with him. Rahul feels attracted to her but he does not take her seriously. He intends to treat her just like any of his other girlfriends, and wants to have only a short affair. Many times they get into fights, and become friends again. In one scene she rejected his gift, which was a TV after he tried to give her a kiss. She feels as if he keeps following her. But later on in the movie, she was stuck alone in London being chased by an old Indian pervert who tricked her into his car since she was stuck outside the Indian embassy. She ran out the car after the old man tried to touch her and was coincidently saved by Rahul. Rahul invited her to stay at his rather luxurious hotel. One day however his dadaji (Shammi Kapoor), wants him to get married to her. In order to fool him, Rahul asks Chandni to pretend to be his real-life wife, which she accepts to do. After Dadaji leaves, Rahul and Chandni go their separate ways after a fight in which Rahul slaps chandni. However, Rahul realizes that he has fallen in love with her. He follows her to India from London. He goes to her home and asks to speak to Chandi, but she doesn't want to speak to him back. So he yells out in front of her home saying that he is sorry and he loves her, while a crowd gathers. His ex-friend comes with a gang and they get into a fight. When Rahul is almost about to murder his ex friend, Chandi comes out and tells him to not ruin his life by killing Harry. He then proposes to her, and Chandi wants to accept, but she promised her scary looking manager that she will move to another city with him and open a bar, so she rejects to proposal.

Salman Khan (, pronounced ; born Abdul Rashid Salim Salman Khan on 27 December 1965) is an Indian film actor. He has starred in more than 80 Hindi films.

Khan, who made his acting debut with a minor role in the drama ''Biwi Ho To Aisi'' (1988) with Rekha in a lead role, had his first commercial success with the blockbuster ''Maine Pyar Kiya'' (1989), for which he won a Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. He went on to star in some of Hindi cinema's most successful films of those times, such as ''Saajan'' (1991), ''Hum Aapke Hain Kaun'' (1994), ''Karan Arjun'' (1995), ''Judwaa'' (1997), ''Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya'' (1998) and ''Biwi No.1'' (1999), having appeared in the highest earning films of six separate years during his career.

In 1999, Khan won a Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor for his extended appearance in ''Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'' (1998), and since then has starred in several critical and commercial successes, including ''Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'' (1999), ''Mujhse Shaadi Karogi'' (2004), ''No Entry'' (2005), ''Partner'' (2007), ''Wanted'' (2009), ''Dabangg'' (2010), ''Ready'' (2011) and ''Bodyguard'' (2011), which has become the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of all-time. Khan has thus established himself as one of the most successful actors of Hindi cinema.

Early life

Khan is the eldest son of screenwriter Salim Khan and his first wife Salma (''née'' Sushila Charak), his paternal grandfather came to India from Afghanistan and settled in Madhya Pradesh whereas his mother is a Marathi Hindu. Khan himself had once said that he is half Hindu and half Muslim. His stepmother is Helen, a former actress, who has co-starred with him in a few films. He has two brothers, Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan, and two sisters, Alvira and Arpita. Alvira is married to actor/director Atul Agnihotri. Khan finished his schooling through St. Stanislaus High School in Bandra, Mumbai, as did his younger brothers Arbaaz and Sohail. Earlier, he studied at The Scindia School, Gwalior for a few years along with younger brother Arbaaz.

Career

1980s

Salman Khan made his acting debut with a supporting role in the 1988 film ''Biwi Ho To Aisi''. His first leading role in a Bollywood movie was in Sooraj R. Barjatya's romantic family drama ''Maine Pyar Kiya'' (1989), one of India's highest grossing films. It earned him a Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut, as well as his first nomination for a Best Actor at Filmfare.

1990s

1990 saw one film release starring Khan, ''Baaghi: A Rebel for Love''. The film was a box office success, followed by four hit films in 1991, ''Patthar Ke Phool'', ''Sanam Bewafa'', ''Kurbaan'' and ''Saajan''. Despite these early successes, nearly all of his 1992–1993 releases resulted in box office failures. In 1995 he starred in Rakesh Roshan's ''Karan Arjun'' alongside Shahrukh Khan.

In 1996, Khan performed in two movies, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's directional debut ''Khamoshi: The Musical'', a box office failure, but critically acclaimed; and Raj Kanwar's action hit ''Jeet''. He had two releases in 1997: ''Judwaa'' and ''Auzaar''. The former was a comedy directed by David Dhawan where he played a dual role of twins separated at birth.

Khan worked in five different films in 1998, his first release being the comedy ''Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya'' opposite Kajol, one of the biggest commercial successes of that year. This was followed by the moderately successful drama ''Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai''. and ''Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'', which earned another Best Actor nomination at the Filmfare.

2000s

In 2000, Khan acted in films including ''Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega'' and ''Chori Chori Chupke Chupke''. ''Chori Chori Chupke Chupke'' addressed the issue of surrogate childbirth; Khan played the role of a rich industrialist, who hires a surrogate mother after his wife becomes infertile. Critics noted his turn towards a more serious role, which reportedly had more substance in comparison to his previous roles. In 2002 he starred in the delayed release ''Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam''.

For ''Tere Naam'', (2003) Taran Adarsh said of him, "Salman Khan is exceptional in a role that fits him to the T. He breathes fire in sequences that demand uneasiness. But beneath the tough exterior lies a vulnerable person and this facet in particular comes to the fore in the latter reels. His emotional outbursts are splendid..." He subsequently continued his success at the box office, with comedies like ''Mujhse Shaadi Karogi'' (2004) and ''No Entry'' ''(2005)''. He next appeared in the Hollywood movie, ''Marigold: An Adventure in India'' which told the love story of an Indian man and an American woman.

Khan starred in three films throughout 2008, all of which underperformed.

Khan hosted the second season of ''10 Ka Dum'' in year 2009 which turned out to be even more successful than his first season as host of the game show in year 2008. The show got very high TRPs for Sony Entertainment Television and according to reports, the show helped Sony TV regain its third position in the Indian television ratings.

Khan's first film of 2009, ''Wanted'' directed by choreographer turned director Prabhu Deva. In the same year, he appeared in two other films, ''Main Aurr Mrs Khanna'' and ''London Dreams''. While ''London Dreams'' doing average business, only due to the uninspiring music, but ''Main Aurr Mrs Khanna'' made 21 crores through DTH Premiere.

2010s

Khan's first release of 2010 was Anil Sharma's commercially and critically unsuccessful film ''Veer''. His next release, ''Dabangg'', was produced by his brother Arbaaz Khan, and released on 10 September 2010. It made a record opening at the box office and Box Office India declared it an all-time blockbuster. For his performance in ''Dabangg'', Khan received a Star Screen Award for Best Actor and a Stardust Award for Star of the Year – Male and was nominated for his sixth Filmfare Award for Best Actor. Anupama Chopra from NDTV wrote about his performance, "It's the role of a lifetime and Salman Khan bites into it like a starving man devours a feast. He inhabits it fully, strutting and swaggering and even, spoofing himself." Khan's first release of 2011 was ''Ready'' which released on 3 June. The film broke several box office records and is currently the fourth highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time. He next appeared in ''Bodyguard''. Upon release, the film Became a Blockbuster at the box office, with Khan's performance receiving favourable comments from critics and is currently the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time.

Personal life

In 2004, he was voted seventh-best-looking man in the world and the best looking man in India by ''People'' magazine, US. Khan has been involved in several charities during his career.

On 11 October 2007, Khan accepted an offer from Madame Tussauds wax museum in London to have a wax replica made of himself. His life-size wax figure was installed there on 15 January 2008, making him the fourth Indian actor to have been replicated as a wax statue in the museum.

Khan has been the subject of several controversies, including certain legal troubles. On 28 September 2002, Khan was arrested for rash and negligent driving. His car had run into a bakery in Mumbai; one person who was sleeping on the pavement outside the bakery died and three others were injured in the mishap. Charges of culpable homicide were laid against him, but later dropped, and he was found not guilty. On 17 February 2006, Khan was sentenced to one year in prison for hunting the Chinkara, an endangered species. The sentence was stayed by a higher court during appeal. On 10 April 2006, he was handed a five year jail term and remanded to Jodhpur jail until 13 April when he was granted bail.

On September 2010, Khan was reported to have claimed during an interview to a Pakistani channel that the 26/11 attacks were hyped because the "elite" were targeted. During the interview the actor had said - "''It was the elite that was targeted this time. Five star hotels and all. So they panicked. Then they got up and spoke about it. My question is why not before. Attacks have happened in trains and small towns too, but no one talked about it so much."'' Khan also said that Pakistan was not to be blamed for it, and that the Indian security forces had failed. Khan's comments had drawn strong reactions from Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra Chagan Bhujbal, Shiv Sena, BJP and other political parties. The comments were also condemned by Ujwal Nikam, Special Prosecutor in the 26/11 trial. Khan later apologised for his comments.

His relationship with actress Aishwarya Rai was a well publicised topic in the Indian media. After their break-up in March 2002, Rai accused him of harassing her. She claimed that Khan had not been able to come to terms with their break-up and was hounding her; her parents lodged a complaint against him. In 2005, news outlets released what was said to be an illicit copy of a mobile phone call recorded in 2001 by the Mumbai police. It appeared to be a call in which he threatened Rai, in an effort to force her to appear at social events held by Mumbai crime figures. The call featured boasts of connections to organised crime and derogatory comments about other actors. However, the alleged tape was tested in the government's Forensic lab in Chandigarh, which concluded that it was fake.

After years of speculations, actress Katrina Kaif admitted in an 2011 interview for a magazine that she was in a serious relationship with Salman Khan for several years, which ended in 2010.

In August 2011 he admitted he suffers from trigeminal neuralgia, a facial nerve disorder commonly known as the suicide disease. In an interview he said that he has been quietly suffering it for the past seven years, but now the pain’s become unbearable. It has even affected his voice, making it much harsher.

Non film work

Khan has started an NGO called 'Being Human' which will sell T-shirts and other products online and in stores. A portion of the sales will go to a worthy cause supporting the underprivileged.

In January 2012, Khan has offered to pay for releasing around 400 prisoners from around 63 prisons in the state of Uttar Pradesh via his NGO. The prisoners had completed their term but due to economical reasons, they were unable to pay a legal fine for their charges.

Urmila Matondkar () (born on 4 February 1974 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India) is an Indian film actress.

Matondkar, who made her screen debut as a child artist in the 1980 film ''Kalyug'', debuted as an adult in ''Narasimha'' (1991). She established herself as a popular actress of mainstream Hindi cinema with her roles in films like ''Rangeela'' (1995), ''Judaai'' (1997), and ''Satya'' (1998), all of which earned her Filmfare nominations. These roles contributed to a new screen persona, where she was known for her intense style and dancing skills, and was frequently featured in the Indian media as a sex symbol.

She subsequently took on several psychological roles, and has delivered a range of critically acclaimed performances. Among these included her roles as a psychopath in ''Kaun'' (1999), an obsessive lover in ''Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya'' (2001), a ghost-possessed woman in ''Bhoot'' (2003), and a merciless avenger in ''Ek Hasina Thi'' (2004). For her performance in ''Bhoot'', she won her first Filmfare Award in the Best Actress (Critics) category, as well as several other awards for Best actress at a number of award ceremonies. She followed it with leading roles in art and independent films, such as ''Tehzeeb'' (2003), ''Pinjar'' (2003), ''Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara'' (2005) and ''Bas Ek Pal'' (2006).

Early life

Urmila Matondkar was born to a Marathi family in Mumbai on February 4th 1974. Her father was a lecturer and Urmila was a talented student in school.

Career

Urmila's first role as a child artist was in 1980 with ''Kalyug'' and she achieved success at the age of 9 in Shekhar Kapur's ''Masoom'' in 1983. She made her adult debut as an actress with the film ''Bade Ghar Ki Beti''. She next starred in the fantasy film ''Chamatkar'', along with Shahrukh Khan.

She went on to frequently collaborate with film director Ram Gopal Verma, who is known for his thrillers. Her first film with him was ''Antham'', which was a bilingual film and was titled as ''Drohi (1992 film)'' in (Hindi). She has also made her appearance in Doordarshan Serial Bible Ki Kahaniyan. Since then, she has starred in numerous subsequent RGV pictures, like ''Gaayam'' (Telugu), her 1995 musical hit ''Rangeela''. She played a star-struck dancer in the film, and received her first Filmfare Best Actress Award nomination for her performance in the film. Following RGV projects were ''Anaganaga Oka Roju'' (1997), ''Daud (film)'' (1997), ''Satya'' (1998), ''Kaun'' (1999), ''Mast'' (2000), ''Jungle'' (2000), ''Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya'' (2001), ''Bhoot'' (2003), and ''Ek Hasina Thi'' (2004).

In 1997 her film ''Judaai'' was a hit but her other releases such as ''Daud'' and ''Aflatoon'' were not as successful. Her performance in ''Judaai'' earned her a Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award nomination.

In 1998, she earned critical acclaim for her performance in ''Satya'', for which she received another Filmfare nomination. ''Satya'' was a critical and commercial success.

In 1999, she got rave reviews for her performance as a pschycopath in ''Kaun'', which was a moderate success, and saw further success with ''Jaanam Samjha Karo'', ''Hum Tum Pe Marte Hain'' and ''Khoobsurat'', all moderate successes at the box office.

During the 2000s, Matondkar revealed strong, dramatic and psychological features in her roles, and delivered a number of critically acclaimed performances. She won favourable reviews for her role as an obsessive lover in ''Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya'' (2001), and received various ''Best Villain'' nominations for her performance.

In 2003, she was part of several projects. She played the role of a north Indian girl in the background of the 1947 India partition in the critically acclaimed ''Pinjar''. She played the title role in Khalid Mohammed's drama ''Tehzeeb'', starring along Shabana Azmi. However, she was mainly noted for her performance in ''Bhoot'', a horror movie. Matondkar enacted a ghost-possessed woman; her performance was much appreciated by critics and audiences and she won her first Filmfare Award under the Best Actress (Critics' Choice) category, as well as various ''Best Actress'' awards at different award ceremonies, such as Star Screen Awards, Zee Cine Awards and Bollywood Movie Awards. She later received the national honour ''Rajiv Gandhi Award'' for the film, as a recognition to her achievement in Bollywood. Taran Adarsh wrote of her performance, "...the film clearly belongs to Urmila Matondkar all the way. To state that she is excellent would be doing gross injustice to her work. Sequences when she is possessed are simply astounding. If this performance doesn't deserve an award, no other performance should. It beats all competition hollow."

In 2004, she got critical recognition for her performance as a merciless avenger in Ram Gopal Verma's ''Ek Hasina Thi'', co-starring Saif Ali Khan. She played the role of a deceived woman who is jailed because of her lover, played by Khan, and later flees from prison to avenge him. Once again, Matondkar was nominated for a Filmfare for her performance in the film.

Next year in 2005, she tried her hand with another horror film, playing the title role in the film ''Naina'', which failed. However, her performance as the caring daughter of Anupam Kher in Jahnu Barua's art film ''Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara'' was very well received, and she won her second Bollywood Movie Award for Best Actress.

Apart from holding a successful acting career, she is regarded as an outstanding dancer and has been a featured performer in many Bollywood item numbers. Her best-known item number is the ''Chamma Chamma'' sequence from the 1998 ''China Gate''. Other hit numbers include ''Aaiye Aajaye'' from the hit film ''Lajja''. She was signed to perform the item song in ''Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag'', a remake of the 1975 blockbuster ''Sholay''. She played the role originally played by Helen.

In 2007, Matondkar lent her voice for Asha Bhonsle's album ''Asha and Friends Vol 1'', where she performed with Bhosle the duet song "Mehbooba Dilruba". In fact, throughout the 1990s – 2000s, Bhosle sang the maximum number of songs for Urmila.

In 2008, Matondkar was seen with Himesh Reshammiya in a remake of the 1980 film ''Karz'', titled ''Karzzzz''. Even though the film flopped miserably at the box office, Urmila was praised for her acting and adding her own flavour to the role of Kamini. That year also marked Matondkar's debut on Indian television as a host of a reality show named Waar Parriwar.

Kumar Sanu (alias Kedarnath Bhattacharya (), born in Kolkata, is a leading Indian Bollywood playback singer. He was awarded the Filmfare Best Male Playback Award over five consecutive years. The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri in 2009.

Early life

Kumar Sanu's father Pashupati Bhattacharya was a vocalist and composer. He trained Sanu as a singer and tabla player. After getting a degree in commerce from Calcutta University, Sanu began performing publicly in 1979, singing at shows and restaurants around Calcutta. He modeled his singing style after Bollywood singer Kishore Kumar. Later he developed his own singing style.

Career

In 1987, music director and singer Jagjit Singh offered Sanu the chance to sing in the Hindi film ''Aandhiyan''. Sanu then relocated to Mumbai, where Kalyanji-Anandji gave him chance to sing in the film ''Jaadugar''. Kalyanji-Anandji suggested that he change his name from Kedar Nath Bhattacharya to Kumar Sanu.

Sanu started off singing Jagjit Singh's film songs, and went on to work with composers including Naushad, Ravindra Jain, Hridayanath Mangeshkar, Pt.R K Razdan, Kalyanji Anandji, and Usha Khanna.

For the 1990 film ''Aashiqui'', music directors Nadeem-Shravan got Sanu to sing all but one of the songs which included ''Sanson ki zaroorat hai jaise'', ''Tu meri zindagi hain'', ''Nazar ke saamne'', ''Jaane jigar jaaneman'', ''Ab Tere Bin Jee Lenge Hum'' and ''Dheere, dheere se meri zindagi mein aana''. He won the first of his record five consecutive Filmfare awards as Best Male Playback Singer. His next Filmfare Awards came for songs in the movies ''Saajan'' (1991), ''Deewana'' (1992), ''Baazigar'' (1993), and ''1942: A Love Story'' (1994).

Sanu often collaborated with Nadeem-Shravan. Some of their collaborations include songs in movies like ''Aashiqi''(1990), ''Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin'' (1991),''Sadak'' (1991), ''Saajan'' (1991), ''Deewana'' (1992), ''Dil Ka Kya Kasoor''(1992),''Kal Ki Awaz'' (1992), ''Shreeman Aashique'' (1993), ''Salami'' (1993), ''Damini: Lightning'' (1993), ''Dil Wale'' (1994), ''Agni Sakshi'' (1996) ''Raja Hindustani'' (1996), ''Jeet'' (1996) ''Pardes'' (1997), among others.

In a career spanning two decades he has sung with composers including R.D. Burman, Anand-Milind, Anu Malik, Jatin-Lalit, Nadeem-Shravan, Ismail Darbar, Kalyanji Anandji. Sanu has also worked with A. R. Rahman in ''Milgayee Milgayee'' from Kabhi Na Kabhi.

He has also created music for Indian films and also produced the Bollywood film, ''Utthaan''.

Sanu was in the panel of judges on Sony TV for Waar Parriwar, a reality show based on the bringing together of a singing gharana (family of singers) and on Zee Bangla TV in a music reality show called Sa Re Ga Ma Pa - Vishwa Sera.

Alka Yagnik (}} or ) (born March 20, 1966 in Kolkata, West Bengal, India) is an Indian singer who is ranked among the best-known Hindi playback singers of all time. She is a seven-time winner of the Filmfare Best Female Playback Award and has done playback singing for over 700 Indian films.

Early life and background

Alka Yagnik was born in Kolkata on March 20, 1966 to a Gujarati family. Her mother Shubha Yagnik was a singer of Indian classical music. At the age of 6, she started singing for Calcutta Radio. At age 10, her mother brought her to Bombay as a child singer. She was advised to wait till her voice matured but her mother remained determined and on a subsequent visit, Alka got a letter of introduction to Raj Kapoor from his Kolkata distributor. Raj heard the girl and sent her with a letter to noted music director Laxmikant. Impressed, Laxmikant gave her two alternatives - an immediate start as a dubbing artist, or a later break as a singer; they settled for the latter.

Career

Alka Yagnik is classically trained and has been one of the leading playback singers in Bollywood since the late 1980s. She began singing bhajans for Calcutta Radio at the age of six. Her first song was for the film ''Payal Ki Jhankaar'' in (1979), followed by ''Laawaris'' (1981) with the hit song "Mere Angene Mein", followed by the film ''Hamari Bahu Alka'' (1982). She got her big break with the song "Ek Do Teen" from the film ''Tezaab'' (1988). The song turned her into a star overnight and went on to become a pop hit, also winning her a Filmfare Best Female Playback Award. Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak was also a career maker for her, as she along with Udit Narayan became household names.

She has sung in many languages other than Hindi, including Gujarati, Odia, Assamese, Manipuri, Nepali, Rajasthani, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Punjabi, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam. She has worked with many other Indian composers, such as Kalyanji-Anandji, Laxmikant-Pyarelal, Nadeem-Shravan, Jatin-Lalit, Anu Malik, A. R. Rahman, Anand-Milind, Himesh Reshammiya and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. She has sung in many notable albums such as "Tum Yaad Aaye", as well as "Tum Aaye" and "Shairana" in which she worked in close collaboration with award-winning lyricist Javed Akhtar and noted singer Hariharan. She has also rendered the Hanuman Chalisa and various devotional songs.

Alka shares the title with Asha Bhosle for the greatest number of Filmfare Awards won (7) by a single female playback singer. Alka has also been the judge of various ''Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge'' shows, and ''Star Voice of India'', both singing competition shows, in which children or adults of various age groups compete with one another to win the award for best vocals. In addition to this, her song "Chamma Chamma" from ''China Gate'' was featured in the song "Hindi Sad Diamonds" from the soundtrack of the film ''Moulin Rouge!''.
