TV stars and their filmi connect

Rajeev Khandelwal: As Sujal in 'Kahiin To Hoga', Khandelwal became a TV sensation. He was also seen in 'Left Right Left', and continues to be a popular face on the small screen as the host of 'Sach Ka Saamna'. Among the few who have done well both in TV and films, Rajeev has appeared in three movies so far. And while neither 'Aamir', 'Shaitan' or 'Soundtrack' were big hits, his acting skills have been appreciated in all these films

Mona Singh: The 'Jassi' girl has never looked back since making a successful debut on television as a Plain Jane. She is currently the female lead in the family drama 'Kya Huaa Tera Vaada'. In between, she has hosted a number of reality shows, and has even won a couple as participant. Her role as Kareena Kapoor's elder sister in '3 Idiots' was well-received even as her other release 'Utt Pataang' stuck to its name, and failed to deliver

Ram Kapoor: Currently seen in 'Bade Achhe Lagte Hain', Kapoor is most remembered as Jai Walia from 'Kasamh Se'. On the big screen, he made a mark as Rajat Barmecha's considerate uncle in 'Udaan'. Since then, he has been seen in 'Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu' and 'Agent Vinod', and also has a role in 'Student of the Year'

Aamna Sharif: As Kashish Garewal, she made a sensational television debut with the show 'Kahiin To Hoga' opposite Rajeev Khandelwal. She entered films with the comedy 'Aloo Chaat', which paired her with Aftab Shivdasani. The film was a box office flop. Aamna did a couple of more unsuccessful movies before returning to the small screen with 'Honge Judaa Naa Hum', which went on air recently

Eijaz Khan: He has appeared in a number of K-serials, including 'Kesar', 'Kkoi Dil Mein Hai', 'Kahiin To Hoga' and 'Kkavyanjali'. In films, he has been seen in 'Zameen', 'Kuch Na Kaho' and 'Just Married', but it was as R. Madhavan's friend in the surprise 'Tanu Weds Manu' that he garnered appreciation

Yami Gautam: She has appeared in TV shows like 'Yeh Pyar Na Hoga Kam' and 'Chand Ke Paar Chalo'. Though her Hindi film debut centred around Ayushmann Khurrana, Gautam's role of a Bengali girl in the offbeat movie did gather praise

Shenaz Treasurywala: Once one of the most popular VJs on Indian television, Shenaz has moved on to do notable roles in films like 'Ishq Vishk', 'Aagey Se Right', 'Radio' and 'Delhi Belly'. She keeps hosting shows on television, in genres ranging from comedy to travel

Sushant Singh Rajput: He became a household TV face playing Preet in 'Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil' and Manav in 'Pavitra Rishta'. His popularity and acting skills landed him a key role in 'Kai Po Che!', the film based on Chetan Bhagat's novel 'The 3 Mistakes of My Life'. The movie is scheduled to release in early 2013

Shruti Seth: Starting as a VJ, she moved to acting in TV shows, namely 'Kyun Hota Hai Pyarrr', 'Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand' and 'Shararat'. She also hosts the comedy show 'Kahani Comedy Circus Ki'. Seth did brief roles in 'Fanaa' and 'Ta Ra Rum Pum', but it was her bold cameo in 'Raajneeti' that grabbed some eyeballs

Shekhar Suman: Despite debuting opposite Rekha in the 1984 film 'Utsav', Suman's career hit a roadblock pretty soon. He found solace in television, and soon became a popular actor, following his portrayal of a bumbling character in 'Dekh Bhai Dekh'. His comic acts in 'Movers And Shakers' enhanced his fame. In recent times, he has been a judge on many comedy shows

Sonal Sehgal: Following her soaring popularity after shows like 'Saara Akaash' and 'Hotel Kingston', Sonal landed a number of film assignments. These included 'Radio' and 'Aashayein', but both films failed to find favour with audiences. Sonal hasn't been seen on the small screen in recent times

Nakuul Mehta: The good looking Mehta debuted on the big screen with 'Haal-e-Dil', which was a box-office failure. He featured in a number of commercials post that, and is presently the main lead in the Rajshri-produced TV show 'Pyar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyara Pyara'

Apurva Agnihotri: Following a promising start to his movie career ' he played a negative role in his debut 'Pardes' ' Agnihotri's filmi journey tapered off. He shifted focus to television, and tasted success as the impressive boss Armaan Suri in 'Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin'. His most recent show was 'Aasman Se Aage', in which he played the scheming producer of a reality show

Vivek Mushran: Remember this chocolate hero from 'Saudagar'? Mushran couldn't cash in on the film's success and gradually shifted attention to the small screen. He did reasonable roles in 'Son Pari' and 'Kittie Party'. His character of a caring father and husband in the family-based show 'Parvarrish', which is currently on air, has been getting very good response

Kulraj Randhawa: Her role as Kareena in the popular TV show 'Kareena Kareena' was appreciated unanimously. Since, she has appeared in a few films, the latest being 'Chintuji' in 2009 and 'Yamla Pagla Deewana' in 2011. Is yet to make a significant mark in Bollywood

Aditya Shrivastava: Best known as Senior Inspector Abhijeet from the never ending detective series C.I.D., Aditya has done prominent roles in Anurag Kashyap's films 'Black Friday' and 'Gulaal'. He also played bit characters in successful films like 'Bandit Queen', 'Satya' and 'Saathiya'

Sameer Kochhar: The popular anchor of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Kochhar made his Bollywood debut with Mohit Suri's 'Zeher'. It was as ACP Shekhar Malhotra in 'Jannat' that Kochhar's acting skills came to the fore. He is currently seen in the TV show 'Bade Achhe Lagte Hain', in which his character of Rajat Kapur is being highly appreciated

Its true tht...SRK started with TV...bt 22-23 years back...TV was not that powerful medium that TV is today...the BW stars looked down upon TV and didn't want to associate themselves with TV...its only in the last 8-10 years...that TV has become such a big medium...TV and BW industry are not meshed together...so I don't think that SRK ever got any advantage of working in TV...if at all he must have been looked down upon because he came from TV...today's story is different...the TV stars have as much fan following as the Bollywood stars...they definitely get advantage because of their work in TV...I had seen SRK in 1993..in a hill station...I just knew that he was tht guy fronm the TV seraila fauji...didn't even know his name then..
