Ek Actor Aisa Bhi – Sonu Sood

Sonu Sood the Punjabi Puttar of course hails from a Punjabi family. He has worked in Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu movies apart from being connected with bollywood. His father is a businessman and his mother is an English-History professor. By the way, do you guys know that he is an engineer? This is quite disgusting that even after having a professional degree you want to step into an entirely different career just because of the reason that you love being famous. Seems like same happened with Sonu.

sonu Sood

Sonu has worked in several hindi movies like Aashique Banaya Aapne, Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi (his much hyped movie with another unsuccessful actress Isha Kppikar!)Sonu Sood has worked in several Tollywood movies also. Recently he broke his long Punjabi nose while shooting. He got two fractures in his nose and is surviving on pain killers these days.

The outcome of only four or five movies decides that whether one is gonna be a successful actor or not but seems like Sonu is constantly denying the result of his movies. May be he should start a production house of his own which is a booming business these days in Hindi cinema or he should start appearing as a judge in various talent shows on television! What say!

Jugal, carry on the struggle!

Remember the blue- eyed boy singing “ghar se nikalte hi, kuch dur chalte hi...” with guitar in his hands? Yea! You guessed it right, he is none other then Jugal Hansraj. This boy started his career as a child artist in the movie called “masoom”. His role was appreciated a lot. He continued his career as a child artist with the movies like Sultanate and Karma.

Soon the boy grew up into a handsome dude. Jugal's debut movie was “Aa gale lag jaa” with Urmila Matondkar. He also acted as a lead hero in the movie Papa Kehte hain. His career keep on moving with a slow pace and he got several movies afterwards including Salam Namaste, Aaja Nachle, Mohabbatein etc. But all these movies could not win him the fame that he expected from Bollywood.

Jugal Hansraj

Jugal's slow career has got two reasons behind it. The first one is that he needs to do a lot of work on his acting skills and secondly he does not have a filmy background so he needs to do a comparatively difficult struggle. So jugal, just keep on trying because slow and steady wins the race! Ok?
