Dia Mirza was born on 9th December, 1981 to a German-Bengali couple in Hyderabad. The actress retains a Muslim name though she practices Hinduism. She became Miss Asia Pacific 2000 after being a second runner up in the Miss India competition that year.

Dia gave up her graduation in Arts as she got busy with her modeling assignments and movies. Her Bollywood entry was far from a dream one as most of her movies were disastrous at the box office. Her first film was “Deewanapan” closely followed by “Rehna hai tere dil mein” opposite Madhavan and Saif Ali Khan. Her other projects were “Tumko na bhool payenge”, “Tehzeeb”, “Pran jaye par shaan na jaye”, “Dum”, “Stop”, “Tumsa nahi dekha”, “Kyun! Ho gaya na..”, “Blackmail”, “Parineeta”, “Dus”, “Phir hera pheri”, “Lagey raho Munnabhai” and a few others. Among these movies, “Dum” is the only hit movie with her as the female lead.

Her performance as a supporting artist was well appreciated in the movies “Dus”, “Parineeta” and “Lagey raho Munnabhai”. Besides movies, she has also featured in music videos like “Kajra Mohabbat wala” with Sonu Nigam. Her upcoming releases are “Naa Naa karte” and “Familywala”. Besides these, she is on the cast of 7-8 other movies.

Amrita Rao was born on 7^th June 1981 in Mumbai and did her schooling and graduation in Mumbai. She is a graduate from Sophia College in psychology. During her college years, she moved to modeling and promoted brands like Fairever Face Cream, Perk and Bru. These movies earned her calls from directors but she refused the offers in lieu of studies.

After graduation, she debuted in “Ab ke baras” opposite Aryan Babbar but the movie did not click. She re-appeared in Bollywood in the love story ‘Ishk Vishk” and her performance was very much appreciated and she was nominated as the Filmfare best female debutant and won the IIFA award as well. She appeared all set to step in the big shoes of Bollywood lead actresses with spectacular success in “Masti”, “Main Hoon Na” and “Vivah”. “Vivah” brought her back with her “Ishk Vishk” lead Shahid Kapoor and remains her most successful movie till date. She also earned a Dadasaheb Phalke Academy Award for her performance in “Vivah”.

Meanwhile she chose a few weak plots to work on like “Deewar”, “Vaah! Life ho to aisi”, “Shikhar”, “Pyare Mohan” and “My name is Anthony Gonsalves” which bombed at the box office and earned her poor reviews from the critic. Such poor selection of movies led her to no releases in Bollywood in 2007 but she starred in a Telegu hit “Athidhi” during this period.

Anubhav Sinha is a 42 year old veteran who has showed lots of promise and potential but is yet to hit homerun on the celluloid screen. Anubhav Sinha was born in Allahabad and did his early schooling in Allahabad and Varanasi before going on to become a mechanical engineering graduate from the Aligarh Muslim University. After trying his fortunes as an engineer, Anubhav realized his true dreams and started as an assistant director in 1990. Four years of experience served as an ideal launch pad for him to start as an independent director.

His talent was first appreciated with “Shikasht” and he got selected for a TV show “Sea Hawks” on UTV. The show went to don the TRP ratings for thirty five weeks across all the networks. Having conquered the silver screen, he went about establishing a niche for himself in the music video industry and worked on 75 music videos. Bollywood seemed to be the only hurdle left in India and with that goal set, he went about his business.

His first feature film “Tum Bin” released in 2001 with fresh faces as leading stars and remains one of the most appreciated romantic movies featuring newcomers in lead parts. Other works of his include “Aap ko pehle bhi kahin dekha hai”, “Dus”, “Tathastu” and “Cash”. None of these movies have been great money spinners yet but all of them have done considerable business at the box office. The critics have been very supportive of Anubhav appreciating his talent and class.

Ritesh Deshmukh was born on 17^th December, 1978 in Latur to Mr. Vilasrao Deshmukh, present chief minister of Maharashtra. He completed his schooling and graduation in Mumbai before moving to New York to join the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.

His Bollywood debut was in 2004 against Genelia D’souza in the movie “Tujhe meri kasam” which enjoyed moderate success at the box office. It was only in his third movie “Masti” that he became a known face and was established as a good comic leads in movies. He tried serious roles in movies like “Bardaasht” and ”Naach” but later decided to take comic roles rather than serious ones.

His popular movies which established his rank as a comedian and also, impressed the box office charts include “Kya kool hai hum”, “Mr ya Miss”, “Bluffmaster”, “Malamaal weekly”, “Apna Sapna Money Money”, “Hey Baby” and “Dhamaal”.  “Hey Baby” remains his most successful movie till date where he plays a Casanova who later changes completely after adopting a baby girl. He also appeared in Om Shanti Om. His future projects include “De Taali” and “Aladdin and the mystery of the lamp”.

He has won the best comedian award for his roles in the movie “Masti” and “Bluffmaster”.
