Sangeeta Bijlani
This model
turned actress did not have much luck with
movies. She was a Miss India and a very
successful model. Some of her popular ads
were that of Ponds soap and Nirma which
became famous because of her indomitable
presence. But her films came to be known
as damp squibs which were nowhere in comparison
with her successful commercials.
Sangeeta
Bijlani's debut movie was 'Hathyar' (1989)
opposite Dharmendra. Here was a mad scramble
to have a good look at this beautiful
actress who many thought had the capacity
of dethroning many reigning queens of
that time. But the films that followed
were not good enough and she was remembered
as only the good model that she was.
Some
of her other films are 'Jurm', 'Shivram',
'Yodha', 'Tahqeeqat', 'Yugandhar' and
'Nirbhay'. Her co-stars mostly were Vinod
Khanna, Jeetendra, Sunny Deol and Mithun
Chakraborty. She also had a serial 'Chandni'
to her credit but it did not bring out
the acting talent in her.
Now
married to the ex-Indian cricket captain,
Mohammed Azharuddin, Sangeeta Bijlani
leads a happy life of an ideal housewife.
