Pranaam Movie Review Hindi Movie Review

1. Sameksha Singh


sameksha-singh.png There have been quite a few well known actors, and especially actresses from the South, who have been mainstays of the Hindi movies industry – the names of Vyjanthimala, Hema Malini and Rekha immediately come to my mind. In fact, the cosmopolitan nature of the Hindi movie industry is almost taken for granted, giving it a pan India image, in any case. More recently there has also been a slightly reverse trend where actresses from the North have first established themselves in films of the South, before coming over to the North for movies or TV serials. One such case is that of Sameeksha Singh, who prefers to use her first name only for her film and TV credits. Her interesting career starts from Chandigarh, having been born in a typically Punjabi family, and showing no signs of any filmy trends in her younger years. In fact, quite away from the world of films, she had completed her electronics engineering before even contemplating a screen career. Strangely, she started her career in the Telegu movie “143” and then jumped further south to Tamil films, with “Arinthum Ariyamalum”, in which she not only bagged the award for the best debut actress, but the film itself became quite popular. Journeying though her South Indian film foray, she went on to act in about than 15 more Telegu and Tamil movies, before finding a place in her native Punjabi filmdom. On the way, she also did a bit role in an inconsequential Hindi movie called “Mr Hot Mr Kool”. More than her chequered career in films, she ultimately got better recognition on the small screen, where she started off with Sahara TV in the serial “Zara” in 2006, while she was still entrenched in the South. She went on to acquire more prominence through her TV roles, which she did for all the major channels. In most of these she played the leading lady. On the sidelines she went on to feature in quite a few TV and print commercials for well known products, making her quite a well known face in the ad media too. Currently she is more engaged in TV serials and the ad world.

2. Apoorva Arora


30-07-2019/apoorva-arora.jpg

For someone as young as Apoorva Arora – she would be barely 19 in 2015 - she must have notched up some amazing feats, which very few have been able to do in the film industry so far. For one, in the very brief span of her career of 5 years between 2011 and 2015, she has already acted in films in 4 different languages as diverse as Kannada, Punjabi, Gujarati, along with Hindi. But statistical achievements alone do not sum up her feats. Her remarkable career is symptomatic of the hard work, driven obviously by ambition and aspirations, that teenagers of the current generation are capable of.
