Raj Kumar Rao on the cover page of the Man Magazine October 2018 Issue

“Raj Kumar Rao, the National Award winner personality from Shahid has changed the picture and impression of ‘Bollywood Raj’ in every Fan’s mind with his inevitable struggle, hope & hustle that never ended!” He has always taken his acting skills from observing individuals, their body Languages, and their accents yet as a little child on the streets of Gurugram, India.

In Raj Rao’s words “to wait for an opportunity isn’t an option if you are eager to act, do it anyway—Film yourself, showcase on social media, go for theatre, and keep going!”Furthermore, Raj Kumar adds “acting to learn on your own is a struggle first and a pride later. That’s what I had done.”

Even though Raj Kumar is a prominent Bollywood personality, on the contrary, he speaks “I am yet to accomplish that Bollywood character status in my living where I am ‘one big movie star each year’ who fans’ following waits for.” From Love, Sex Aur Dhoka as a small role perfectionist to the most-up-date film of Raj Kumar named Stree, the horror-comedy where he is one of the leads, he has stepped the stages of Glamorous with total sophistication and hard work.

Some of the all-time great works of Rajkumar Rao comprising in Ragini MMS, Kai Po Che!, Shahid, Citylights, Aligarh, Trapped, Bareilly ki Barfi, Gangs of Wasseypur 2 and Newton has stunned the audience each time. The arousing part of Raj’s acting phase of life is that “he amazingly stands on the edging of distinction of roles & characters and creates suspense into the audience with what character would be in the next movie? This arousal is what makes great artiste in Bollywood!

Ameesha Patel on cover of Man Magazine, February 2017

Though celebrated in the business, she takes nothing for granted. Ameesha Patel who can be seen on the cover of Man Magazine February issue says 'Never write anyone off. You never know which Friday can change anyone’s destiny'.

Even after 16 years in Bollywood industry she still finds it difficult as it was when she first entered it. Ameesha Patel made a fantastic debut in 2000 hit Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai with Hrithik Roshan. After a massive hit at the box office, it would have been easy for her to cruise along on that fame with less challenging roles. The film was a hit, cementing her star status and turned out to be a great career decision because it established her as a serious talent in her second film, and not just another beautiful, south Bombay actor. Call it fate, or poor choices, Ameesha didn’t quite hit gold with her subsequent films. The following choice of films like Humraaz, Chatur Singh Two Star, Shortcut Romeo didn’t help her much and instead, she earned abysmal reviews. The self-made actress has earned her name through here strong and bold nature, she has stood strong like a shield and fought every fight. Disappointment at the failures must have been huge but she didn’t disown any. The actor had an unexpected start in the world of cinema, has survived fame, family betrayals, a broken heart and career setbacks, among other things. If you ask how she has managed to emerge unscathed and curiously unspoiled, she insists her positive nature and faith keep her going.

Currently, she has poured her heart and soul into her home production Desi Magic, which has been in the making for over two years. She had to create her own space and by creating so she believes it gives a bigger sense of achievement and pride to her.
