There are very few people in the world of acting who get the recognition they deserve as soon as they debut, for which they have to struggle for years in the industry. Actress Zeba Bakhtiar got great recognition in 1991 with her debut film 'Hina'. Actress Zeba Bakhtiar started her career in 1991 with Rishi Kapoor's film 'Henna'. Earlier, Raj Kapoor had seen her in a show and decided to cast her in the film. But the actress did not get that recognition even after a blockbuster debut.
30 years ago, Pakistani actress Zeba Bakhtiar, who worked with Rishi Kapoor in the 1991 superhit film 'Henna', won the hearts of people as soon as she debuted. Her beautiful picture is still in people's minds. 'Henna' was Zeba's first film, and as soon as it became a superhit, Zeba became a superstar overnight, although after this film, Zeba worked in many other films. But she could not get the success again, which she got from this film.
After Hina, Zeba has worked in films like Mohabbat Ki Aarzoo, Stuntman, Jai Vikranta, Sargam, Mukadma, Chief Sahib , and Bin Roye . On TV, apart from Anarkali , she has worked in shows like Tansen, Laag, Mulakat, Muqaddas, Mehmaan, Mussoorie, Doordesh, Samjhauta Express, Hazaron Saal, and Pehli Si Mohabbat .
No one knows where Zeba Bakhtiar, who made a splash with her first film, is and what she is doing now. Zeba's real name is Shaheen Thay. Zeba is the daughter of Pakistani politician and former Attorney General, Yahya Bakhtiar. Very few people know that Zeba started her career on the small screen in Pakistan and played an important role in the TV serial Anarkali in 1988. Her acting in this show was highly praised. Raj Kapoor saw her in this show and cast her in a film under the RK banner.
Zeba worked with Rishi Kapoor in the film. She became his heroine in this film. Ashwini Bhave was in the lead role in this film. But the new Neyveli Zeba gave her a tough competition with her character. This was Zeba's debut film and was also a blockbuster. But after this, none of her films could do wonders.
