Happy Birthday Anushka Sharma, the box office queen who keeps breaking stereotypes and setting new trends every now and then!

The Bollywood industry churns out a record number of films every year. A lot of leading actors and actresses feature in these films. But interestingly, only a select few actors out of these can be called crowd pullers. The unfortunate fact is that when it comes to actresses, the number is even less. Till the 90s and early 2000s, we had a lot of actresses whose presence added a lot to the film’s buzz. At present, we have a handful of heroines that fit in this category. And one such artist is Anushka Sharma, who turns 33 today. A conversation on present-day popular actresses of Bollywood is incomplete without her. She’s mentioned in the same breath as Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt. Only actress with 3 Rs. 300 crore grossers And why not?

4 Times when Rishi Kapoor played villain

Rishi Kapoor always grumbled about not getting to do black or grey. “Why are they always casting me as a bhala insaan ? There is dark side to every human, me also. I’m dying to explore that,” he once told me. It isn’t as if he never got to play negative roles . He did. Take a look at these. 1. Zehreela Insaan (1973): Right after his star launch in  Bobby , Rishi wanted to play a diametrically opposite character. While Raja in  Bobby was pure-hearted, simple kind and generous Arjun in Zehreela Insaan was ill-tempered, foul-tongued, brutish and unpredictable. The only one who could control him was his Masterji, played by Pran (who had played his tyrannical father in  Bobby just months earlier). In a fit of rage Arjun kills his beloved Masterji and then jumps to his death with his girlfriend Margaret (Neetu Singh). No wonder, Zehreela Insaan flopped miserably. It was a remake of the Kannnada hit Naagarh...
