I am talking about Aftab Shivadasani actually i just watched Kasoor & Love Ke Liye Kuchh Bhi Karega once again so thought to make a post on him. Aftab started his BW career with some decent roles in some decent films & made him recognizable, his 1st 3 films n his roles in those were totally different from each other in Mast his character was a boyish n kinda immature one, in Kasoor he played a totally mature, serious & at the same time initially a good mans role who was actually a negative character & which was revealed at the end of the film, in short he played both positive & negative character in this film, then he did a comic characters role in Love Ke Liye Kuchh Bhi Karega. I think these 3 films were enough to prove that he is a versatile actor who is able to play any kind of role except may be few, then what went wrong with his career? why no big PH approach him in any good film? Is it because of his boyish face or his non filmy background or something else? For me he is much much better than some star kid yet got noting at the end.
Also why Lisa Ray didn't get any other hindi film after Kasoor? she executed her role flawlessly in her very 1st film being a foreigner and acting, lookwise was far far better than any Katrina Kaif or Sunny Leone or some other foreigner actress. She proved in her very 1st film that she came to BW to shine with her performance & looks, then why she didn't get any chance in BW after Kasoor?


Edit - i edited the title so that people can pay attention to Lisa Ray as well.😆

Soft Chocolate face heroes can only mage big in bollywood if they can show some aggression / angry / fight kind of scenes on screen. Aamir Khan when came was with this kind of image, his rough tough look in Raja Hindustani changed that perspective. Same for Salman, Karan Arjun showed that Raw Appeal.

Aftab was good in kasoor, but he couldn't do much with his films, he is good in sex comedies now, doing masti 😆

Lisa Ray , My first ever bollywood crush ..What a woman ..
Aftab was good in few films, Even in Ankaheen , he was so damn good ..

Lisa's main problem was language and no backing ..I heard Lisa was supposed to do Raaz and Mahi Ve item song from Kaatien ..
Now if she would have done Raaz , you never know , she might had a career ahead ..

Both are way more better actor than lot of star kids ..

Kasoor is a rip of jagged edge ..People remember Raaz or Dhadkan's songs , but for me Kasoor is the best work of Nadeem Shravan ..

Kitni bechan hoke
Zindegi ban gaye ho tum
Mohabbat ho na jaye

this one is my one of the all time favorite, the story was a good one, end was terrific as you said & Aftab-Lisa shared an excellent, beautiful, sparkling hot romantic chemistry with each other! i wish they would have done some more films together.
