Who's Who in Bollywood - Actors

Despite the fact that Bollywood films than Hollywood's output, Bollywood star system is much smaller, which means that the Indian participants included a lot more movies than their American counterparts, some people make as many as five films a year. Fortunately, that makes it easier for new fans to figure out who is who. Nepotism is common, and many Bollywood actors and film-makers come to the family dynasties that have been the film business for generations, but many celebrities have the same surname, especially in Khan and Kapoor, who is not related. The following, but by no means comprehensive, is a rundown of the biggest and brightest stars of Bollywood male universe. Shahrukh Khan Known as King Khan, Badshah of Bollywood, or just for SRK, Shahrukh is one of the "big three Khans" with Aamir Khan and Salman Khan, who have dominated Bollywood for two decades, while Shahrukh has allegedly surpassed the other two as commercial power and global recognition, and unlike the other two, does not come from the Shahrukh film family. He made his debut in Deewana in 1992 and catapulted superstardom Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge in 1995, or DDLJ as it is known, which is still shown in theaters in Mumbai, making it the longest running film in history. His character in DDLJ, Raj, it became an archetype for the modern romantic hero of Bollywood Brash, hip, and western, but India is the heart. His Kuch Kuch Hota Top Hits include Hai (1998), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001), Kal Ho NAA Ho -2003 and Kabhi Alvida Kehna NAA (2006). Despite his age (he was born in 1965), he showed a surprisingly ripped physique in Om Shanti Om (2007), which became the highest grossing Hindi film ever, proving that it was far overshadowed the younger aspirants to his throne (while poking fun at Bollywood standards men's beauty). In 2008, Newsweek magazine named him one of the 50 most powerful people in the world. He is married to his childhood sweetheart, Gauri, whom he has a son and a daughter.

Amitabh Bachchan

If Shahrukh Khan is a king, Amitabh is God. In his 1975 film, Sholay, the first "Curry Western" (Indian version of Spaghetti Western) is one of Bollywood's most beloved movies ever. That same year she appeared in Deewaar, groundbreaking film, which was established him as the "angry young man" character type, reflecting the frustration and disappointment at times. Amitabh went to excel in drama, action, romance and comedy, which basically makes him a 'masala' actor. After he was nearly killed by an injury sustained in 1982 to fight scene, he made an unsuccessful forays into politics and business, and then struggled for years to make a comeback film but it made a comeback. In 2000 he became host to the Indian version of the TV show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? and some of the commercial film success, was followed a few critical, and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001), IUP Babli (2005), Sarkar (2005), Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (2006), Babylon (2006) and Eklavya (2007). He is married to actress Jaya Bhaduri, and their son is actor Abhishek Bachchan, who is married to actress Aishwarya Rai.

Aamir Khan

Aamir is considered "serious" actress and a big Khans of India is widely considered the most talented star in terms of sheer acting ability. Although he has been a big commercial hits, she has always been artistic bent, and his projects are usually the highest quality. He began his career as a child actor in 1973, made his first film as an adult in 1984, after several nominations, won his first Filmfare Best Actor Award in 1996, Raja Hindustani, in his turn, he kissed her excellent co-star Karisma Kapoor (kissing it was a rare enough occurrence to cause a stir). He received international attention for its role in Lagaan (2001), which was the first film he produced. The film was critically praised across the world and became an Oscar nod for Best Foreign Language Film. (It was only the third time in the history of the Indian film has been nominated, and no Indian film has never won a prize.) Mangal Pandey: Rising (2005) and Rang De Basanti (2006) is also one of his best pictures. He made his debut as director in 2007 received written comments Zameen Par. His 2008 film Ghajini was the highest grossing Hindi film of all time. In 2002, he divorced his wife of 15 years, he has two children whom he married in 2005 as assistant director. He is part of the film award ceremonies.

Salman Khan

With bedroom eyes, bulging biceps and a velvety voice that would make any woman swoon, is the ultimate heartthrob Salman and his bad-boy reputation will only increase his sex appeal. He is struggling with the law, how many fatwas are issued against him and his romantic relationships with ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend Aishwarya Rai Katrina Kaif (who is 20 years his junior), is full of tumult. His battle with the press will not help your image and do not know the well-publicized blow-ups he had with colleagues. But he is also renowned for its generous charitable work. He started the film was released in 1988 and his first smash hit, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, a year later and he's been churning them ever since, including Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999), No Entry (2005), and Partner (2007) . He has been a lot of flops, too, including the English production of Hollywood, Marigold (2007), opposite American actress Ali Larter (who currently stars U.S. TV show Heroes).

Akshay Kumar

Some martial arts action hero skills of a comedian with a knack for farce, a beautiful part of a leading man who can dance like a cross between Bruce Willis, Jackie Chan, Jerry Lewis, and John Travolta, Akshay and the goofball at the same time tough guy and he always gets the girl. Although he is hugely popular in India in its everyman qualities, he has acquired the taste of most Americans. His first film was released in 1991 and he hit it big a year later Khiladi. He has appeared in nearly 80 films since then, with decent results, but only recently has it been difficult for the three Khans box office supremacy. 2007 belonged to Akshay, four hits, Namastey London, Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Welcome note. In 2008, her film Tashan did well, but Singh is Kinng (which included a cameo of American rapper Snoop Dogg is the name of the story) was a record-breaking opening. In 2009, his film Chandni Chowk China became the first Bollywood film released in the U.S. by a major American studio (Warner Brothers), but it flopped in India and North America. Later that year, he played a successful Kambakkht Ishq, playing a Hollywood stuntman in India, and the film featured cameos Sylvester Stallone and Denise Richards. He has a son with his wife Twinkle, a former actress.

Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik film debut in the 2000 romantic lead in Kaho NAA ... Pyaar Hai made her an instant star, and his dreamy green eyes, buff bod, and made it the enduring sex symbol. Director Rakesh Roshan's son, he who has directed some of his most important projects for Hrithik. (Rakesh was a great shot near the outside of his office in 2000 after a threatening mob, with a long history of extorting Bollywood actors and film-makers and he lived in an assassination attempt.) Hrithik received recognition for his turns in Mission Kashmir later this year, and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham next year. After three flops in 2002, he made a comeback in 2003, the sci-fi film Koi ... Mil Gaya. He took a break from acting and returned to the 2006 superhero Krrish, the sequel to Koi ... Mil Gaya.

He and his wife Suzanne have two sons.

Abhishek Bachchan

Although the screen icon Amitabh Bachchan his son, Abhishek has struggled to prove himself as an actor. And although he is tall, dark and oh-so beautiful, she still catches flak for not as if the muscles of his contemporaries. He felt like his first film lead, refugees, opposite Kareena Kapoor's debut in 2000, and spent the next four years to make a dozen movies abysmal. Finally, in 2004, he was critically praised for his performance in YUVA thug, and this year he also played his first commercial hit, Dhoom. In 2005, he had four hits, with IUP Babli, Sarkar, Dus and Bluff Master, and two more in 2006 Kabhi Alvida Kehna and Dhoom second NAA The following year he received accolades for his performance in Guru, opposite his then-fiance Aishwarya Rai.

He has struggled with drug addiction, his mother and his first wife died of cancer, her second marriage ended in divorce, and worst of all, he spent almost 15 years and out of prison, fighting criminal charges that he illegally possessed guns to buy gangsters who participated in the 1993 terrorist bombings in Mumbai.
