Many actresses, even after delivering significant hits in the industry, struggle to become leading heroines and remain confined to roles of mothers and sisters. An actress who began her career at 42 did not become a leading heroine, even after delivering successful films with superstars such as Shah Rukh Khan, Rishi Kapoor, and others. Veteran Actress Of Bollywood…
The actress we are talking about is veteran actress Sushma Seth , who has appeared in more than 120 films and is widely recognized for her portrayals of stern mother-in-laws and grandmothers, or caring mothers. Her daughter is an actress too, who is Shah Rukh Khan 's closest friend.
At the age of 42, Sushma Seth debuted in Bollywood with the film Junoon , portraying Shashi Kapoor' s aunt. Sushma Seth portrayed the mother and grandmother of several Bollywood stars, such as Rishi Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Anil Kapoor, and Preity Zinta . She has featured in numerous Bollywood successes and blockbusters such as Silsila, Prem Rog, Ram Teri Ganga Maili, Chandni, Deewana, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and Kal Ho Naa Ho .
Nonetheless, in spite of this, she did not achieve the status of a leading actress. Sushma's most recent appearance was in the film Noor, and she is currently involved with an NGO named Arpana , where she directs plays and dance performances. Recently, she has earned the Mahindra Excellence in Theatre Awards (META) Lifetime Achievement Award for her outstanding contribution to theatre and stage plays. Divya Seth , her daughter, is a well-known television actress and Shah Rukh Khan's 'closest friend'. The Bond Between Divya and SRK
Shah Rukh Khan once posted a picture with her on Twitter, referring to her as his 'bestest friend' and stating, 'Divya, my bestest friend, who taught me how to act.' 'Don't keep the negative traits I possess, just the positive ones influenced by her guidance.' Divya and Shah Rukh Khan have been friends since their days in acting school. They trained together at Barry John acting classes and both began in Lekh Tandon's show Dil Darya .
