This Cricketer's Son Became A National Crush, But Bollywood Labelled Him 'Unlucky'
Bollywood actor Jugal Hansraj rose to prominence with his role in Mohabbatein (2000), despite having featured in numerous films earlier in his career. Although his time in Bollywood was relatively brief, his memorable performances have left a lasting impression on audiences. On Saturday, July 26, Jugal Hansraj turned 53. Let's take a closer look at his journey. Renowned for his perseverance, Jugal Hansraj strived to carve out a distinct space for himself in the film industry through relentless dedication. Yet, fortune often eluded him. Nevertheless, he succeeded in leaving a mark not only as an actor but also as a director and writer. His striking blue eyes and boyish charm still resonate with fans today. Born on July 26, 1972 in Bombay, Maharashtra, Jugal Hansraj is the son of former Indian cricketer Praveen Hansraj. Unlike his father, he chose to pursue acting, beginning his career as a child artist at the age of 10. He captured hearts with his touching performance in the 1983 film Masoom, sharing the screen with legends like Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi. He made his debut as a lead actor in Aa Gale Lag Jaa (1994) alongside Urmila Matondkar. Although the film did not succeed at the box office, their pairing was well received. His major breakthrough came with the 2000 film Mohabbatein, in which he played Sameer Sharma. Despite the star-studded cast including Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, his performance stood out and continues to be remembered fondly. His on-screen chemistry with Kim Sharma was widely praised, sparking speculation of a real-life romance, something both actors never confirmed. At the height of his career, Jugal Hansraj reportedly signed around 40 films, many of which were never completed or released. According to an IANS report, this led to him being labelled 'unlucky' in Bollywood. Despite the setbacks, he remained composed and attributed much to fate. He attempted a comeback with Nadaniyaan (2025), starring Ibrahim Ali Khan, but the film received a poor response and was heavily criticised online. Despite the fluctuations in his career, Jugal Hansraj has remained active, and fans continue to await his return to the screen. Before his acting career, he appeared in numerous television and print advertisements. Currently, he lives in New York with his wife Jasmine and their family, although he frequently travels to India for work.

‘Sarzameen' Teaser: Prithviraj Sukumaran, Kajol and Ibrahim Ali Khan promise a gripping action-drama set in Kashmir
'Sarzameen' teaser: Prithviraj Sukumaran , Kajol and Ibrahim Ali Khan promise a gripping drama set in Kashmir Fans are in for an intense ride as the teaser of 'Sarzameen' has finally dropped. Starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, Kajol, and Ibrahim Ali Khan, the film is all set to premiere on an OTT platform from July 25. Helmed by Kayoze Irani, this hard-hitting drama unfolds against the volatile backdrop of Jammu and Kashmir , promising a tale of patriotism, sacrifice, and human conflict. A glimpse into a tense world The makers unveiled the teaser with the caption, 'Sarzameen ki salamati se badhkar kuch nahi,' instantly setting the tone for a high-stakes narrative. The short clip offers a first look into this world where duty and personal loss collide. It also introduces viewers to Ibrahim Ali Khan's menacing avatar, marking a strong shift from his debut in 'Nadaniyaan'. Prithviraj Sukumaran as the soldier In the teaser, Prithviraj Sukumaran is seen donning the uniform of an army officer stationed in Kashmir. His character is deeply invested in a relentless mission to counter terrorism in the valley. Although the teaser refrains from giving away too much, it establishes him as a man willing to risk everything for the nation. Sukumaran's intense expressions and steely body language suggest that his character is driven by more than just professional duty. There seems to be a personal loss or struggle fuelling his resolve, which the film might explore in detail. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Vastu Compliant 3BHK @ Kalyani LivingTree, KIADB, Bagalur Kalyani Developers Learn More Undo Kajol as the soldier's wife — or more? Kajol appears to play the wife of Sukumaran's character, adding emotional layers to the story. However, her presence in the teaser is far from being just that of a worried spouse. She is shown sharing poignant moments with him, but there is also an undercurrent of hidden pain or perhaps secrets yet to be uncovered. It doesn't look as simple as a regular army-wife portrayal, hinting that Kajol's role may carry surprises that will only unravel as the plot thickens. Ibrahim Ali Khan turns villain What truly raises curiosity is Ibrahim Ali Khan's transformation. After making his debut with 'Nadaniyaan', where he played a much lighter character, he steps into darker territory with 'Sarzameen'. In the teaser, he is presented in a shadowy, intense manner, clearly pitted against Sukumaran. His cold expressions and silent menace suggest that he plays the antagonist. Directed by Kayoze Irani Kayoze Irani, son of Boman Irani , steps into the director's chair for this intense drama. Known previously for his acting stints in films like 'Student of the Year', Kayoze now seems eager to tell more layered stories from behind the camera.
