Abhishek Bachchan on completing 25 years as an actor: It was nerve wracking, doing my first film Refugee
This day, that year- 2000 marked the much-awaited debut of an actor, born into one of the most illustrious families of the Hindi film industry. And it didn't take him time to carve out his own identity, one marked by a variety of films and performances. Today, as Abhishek Bachchan looks back at his journey till date, he only hopes that he has improved. Abhishek Bachchan 'Hopefully, there's been a fair share of improvement in these 25 years. As an actor, I definitely feel a lot more comfortable than I was when I first started. As a person, having lived and experienced that much more, obviously you're better equipped to handle situations. and that's all that matters. As an actor, you want to just keep trying to improve with every film and every opportunity that you get, and I hope I've managed to do that,' he tells us. 'BECOMING AN ACTOR WAS NERVE WRACKING' Refugee, his debut film, had starred him opposite another newcomer, Kareena Kapoor Khan. Sharing how did he land his first film, Abhishek says, 'It materialised because JP Dutta (director) saab saw me at an award function and then approached me to do his film, and that's how it came about. That was his call entirely, and I'm eternally thankful for him, and to him, for that.' Venturing into something he had known all his life, yet never done himself- was it nerve wracking? 'Of course, anytime you do something for the first time, it's terrifying, and it still is actually. First days are always something that give a lot of butterflies. But obviously getting an opportunity to make your debut with Mr. JP Dutta- that there is a thing of great privilege and honor, and I was immensely nervous,' admits Abhishek. 'I WAS SCARED TO DO COMEDY' From then on, it was a journey of discovering what he can do on screen. From a biopic like Guru, to the first bike-action film in Hindi cinema, Dhoom- to even comedies like Bol Bachchan- Abhishek tried his hand at everything. Which genre was he most scared before attempting in his career? 'Comedy. I feel it's the most demanding genre of the lot. Because there's very little an actor can do to contribute to what's already written on the page. We're completely reliant on what's written. In dramatic scenes, you can take a dramatic pause. If that beat is not written into your comedy, it becomes very difficult to make it into a comic moment. So comedy is something I was very scared to do,' he says. Ironically, his recent film Housefull 5 was a hit- and a comedy. Happy New Year (2014), Dostana (2008) and Housefull 3 (2016) too saw Abhishek pulling off comedy. 'ANY SUCCESS MEANS THE WORLD' Abhishek's recent years have been marked by experimentation. From Dasvi (2022), to I Want To Talk, and this year Be Happy doing well on OTT- how much does this phase of success mean to him professionally and personally? He also stars in King with Shah Rukh Khan. The actor replies, 'Any sort of success for an actor means the world to them. It's validation for your work and for your effort, and actors love that. We look forward to that. It means that the audiences for whom we work have appreciated our work, and that's most important. So any sort of success is always welcome and looked forward to.'

Remember Karisma Kapoor's sister in Coolie No 1? Worked with Govinda, Salman Khan, suddenly disappeared after few films, is now..., her name is...
Remember Karisma Kapoor's sister in Coolie No 1? Worked with Govinda, Salman Khan, suddenly disappeared after few films, is now..., her name is... 90s Actress Kanchan became a prominent name in Hindi, Telugu and Malayalam industries. She rose to fame after appearing alongside Karsima Kapoor and Govinda in Coolie No 1 . Released in 1995, the film became a major box office success and turned a cult classic in Hindi cinema's history. Kanchan played Karisma's younger sister in the film, and is still remembered for her outstanding performance in romantic comedy drama. She won hearts with her on-screen persona, and later collaborated with other stars such as Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan. Despite this, she failed to sustain longer in Bollywood. Why Kanchan failed to grab success in Bollywood? Kanchan was a well-know name in the industry, and also starred in hit films like Sanam Bewafa, Kranti Kshetra, Jumana and Paandav . She starred as a lead actress opposite Akshay Kumar in Amaanat , but the film failed to become a success, and couldn't save her career. Her innocence won audiences hearts, but gradually she lost her charm in the industry. According to reports, the superstardom of other actresses like Karisma Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Sridevi overshadowed her work, and she was unable to get more films in the industry. Where is Kanchan now? In the 90s, film producers and directors were majorly in search of bold actresses, instead of sweet and simple. Due to this, Kanchan's career destroyed, and she gradually faded from the limelight. She even tried her hands in the South cinema after not getting work in Bollywood. Kanchan worked in a Malayalam film Gandharvam, opposite superstar Mohanlal. The film became a huge hit at the box office. She also starred in Ajith Kumar's debut film Pustakam. Thereafter, Kanchan was seen in many popular South films, but still that couldn't help her survive. She slowly moved away from that industry as well, despite achieving considerable success. Today, no one knows about her whereabouts. Kanchan's career is a sobering example that how actors get easily replaced, despite their best efforts to sustain longer in the industry.
