Sts wrote a post - "Whatever happened to... " & I could not resist this. But it was so long I deciced I would use my own space and not her comment space. Here is my attempt to clarify and display how updated I am on Bollywood and TV despite hardly watching either and getting to read ONLY The Hindu.
Anu Agarwal – No one is liekly to forget Chandralekha anyway. Into yoga last I heard
Rahul Roy – Was the winner of Big Boss but it did not do for him what Big Brother did for Shilpa Shetty, our classmate ( sts - i could not resist that again)
Ayesha Dharker – Very active abroad also doing theatre in England- Andrew Loyd Webber’s Broadway show “Bombay Dreams”.
Antara Mali- last seen pouting at Jiah Khan
Mamik – came in Kya Kehna last if I recollect- I just love the way he looks. Sts, does that ring a bell?
Aziz Mirza – Chalte Chalte was by him. He is making a movie with Vidya Balan I think sort of reverse of Chennai Kum.
Minu, Sonia Singh, Rini Khanna nee Simon – My favourite was Neethu Ravindran, Komal GB Singh, Sukanya Balakrihsnan, Sunit Tandon & Tejeswar Singh and remeber World of Sport with Narrotam Puri? Appan Menon of World this Week
Siddharth Basu – Produces Kaun Banega Crorepathi and the like- rolling in money , lost a little hair, charming as ever.
Ayesha Jhulka – found her a bit over the top-but she is a sis types in socha na tha . Loved her in Jo Jeeta though
Meenakshi Sheshadri – sure she must have continued with her dancing.
Madhoo – A ribbon cutting expert now
Jugal Hansraj – He is on TV on some serials, is slated for Aaja Nachle with Madhuri Dixit, you would have seen him in Salaam Namaste I think
Mamta Kulkarni, Sonu Walia, Somy Ali – All living incognito in past "glory" !!
Farooque Shaikh – Doing plays, involved in a noble cause- polio vaccination drives
Some of the men I would like to add are dead and gone- Guru of Nukkad, Shafi Inamdar of Yeh jo hai zindagi, Ghokale of Mr Yogi.
Some of the men who are alive and not kicking are possibly Amit Sana, the Indra Danush and Neev guys.
But what about these women- the leading ladies in Hum Log and Buniyaad, Rama Vij, Kitu Gidwani, Malavika Tiwari, Channa Ruparel of Chunauti , Radha Seth the tall one with the husky voice. . .

hey this reminds me of things long ago when watching TV was a very big deal! my favourite was rini simon - my hair used to be short too so used to feel extra hep! also liked komal GB singh - she had a slightly twisted face i think.
