The post today has something in common with Atulji’s post, which inspired this one. Atulji introduced Divya Bharati when he came to the letter D in his series of alphabetical posts featuring actresses lip-synching to Asha Bhosle’s songs. The film from which today’s song is taken is believed to deal, in some way, with Divya Bharati’s death, which occurred nearly 20 years before the film was released. How far this connection is actually true, however, is difficult for me to say.
With today’s post, the actress Devshi Khanduri makes her debut on this blog. Devshi Khanduri is not only an actress, but also a model and lyricist. She was born on 13 March 1983 in Mumbai and brought up in Dehradun. She began modeling while she was in college and subsequently worked in advertising and fashion before making her entry into films. She had already worked on advertising campaigns and fashion assignments before turning to acting.

After the letter B, I come to the letter D. Atul jee’s post on letter D with the list of actresses whose name begin with D and have lip-synced to Asha Bhosle’s songs is here. For the letter C please refer to this.

After Bhagyashree Patwardhan I come to the next B and that is Bharti Sharma. To refer to other actresses, whose name start with B and have moved their lips to Asha Bhosle’s song go to the post by Atuljee.
This Bharti Sharma is not to be confused with the 1961 born Bharati Sharma (on imdb also entered as Bharti Sharma), who is an Indian theater director, actress, and teacher. I couldn’t gather much information on this Bharti Sharma. There is no Wikipedia entry on her name and I couldn’t find any interviews with her. The only page which gives information on her is imdb and all that is there to find about her on this site is a list of her films and TV series, which total to seven.

When Atul started the series of “Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice”, he had asked readers to suggest actresses, whose name started with the letter B and whose Asha Bhosle’s song have not been covered on this blog. When he covered the letter B he kindly took up my suggestion of Bhanupriya. Bhagyashree was the other actress. I had also suggested Bipasha Basu, but the song suggested by me was only a background song and not lip-synched by the actress. As a comment to the B-instalment of Atul’s series, I also mentioned Bharati Sharma. So the next post, God-willing, will cover the song dil lagaane ko dil from Hai Golmaal in White House (2013).
Bhagyashree’s story is unlike that of most Bollywood actresses. Long before she became a household name, she was born into royalty. She hails from the illustrious Patwardhan family of Sangli in Maharashtra and is the great-granddaughter of Chintamanrao Dhundirao Patwardhan, the last ruling Raja of the princely state of Sangli during British rule.

Moving ahead with the series on Asha Bhosle singing for actresses whose first names begin with the letter “A”, we come to Ayesha Julka.
Ayesha Julka is another actress whose father served in the Armed Forces. She made her acting debut in the Telugu film Neti Siddhartha (1990). She then entered Hindi cinema with Kurbaan (1991), opposite Salman Khan. The film is said to have been a success, but I cannot remember much about it. The first film in which I noticed her, and which I long considered to be her debut, was Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992).

Continuing with the series on Asha Bhosle singing for actresses whose first names begin with the letter “A”, we arrive at the name Ashwini Bhave. I had already mentioned Ashwini Bhave in the post on the song gharwaalee banaa le mujhe.
When the film Henna (1991) was launched, RK Films organized a major talent search. This was heavily publicized by the studio’s PR department. When Zeba Bakhtiyar was selected and announced as the heroine in the title role, a footnote was attached to many articles stating that RK Films was still searching for an actress to play the second heroine. In various interviews, Rishi Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor complained that many established heroines had declined the offer. They argued that the second heroine’s role was as important as the title role and was comparable in significance to Rajendra Kumar’s role in Sangam (1964). Various names were circulated as having turned down the role. If I remember correctly, Juhi Chawla, Meenakshi Seshadri, and Madhuri Dixit were among those mentioned. Eventually, the role went to Ashwini Bhave, who was not yet widely known in Hindi cinema.

Moving ahead with the series on Asha Bhosle singing for actresses whose first names begin with the letter “A”, we come to Archana Joglekar.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, three actresses from the Marathi film industry crossed over to Hindi cinema with varying degrees of success. They were Archana Joglekar, Ashwini Bhave, and Varsha Usgaonkar. Although the Hindi film industry was based in Bombay (now Mumbai), only a few leading Marathi actresses were able to establish themselves in Hindi films. Usha Kiran and Jayshree Gadkar were notable exceptions. Most other Marathi actresses found work primarily in supporting roles.
I first started noticing Archana Joglekar (without knowing her name at the time) in the early 1980s as a model and in Marathi programmes on Bombay Doordarshan. By the mid-1980s, she had also begun appearing in Marathi films. Soon thereafter, she made her Hindi film debut with Mardon Mein Mard (1987). She subsequently played a leading role in an Odia film and, later in her career, also acted in a Tamil film. During the 1990s, she gradually reduced her film appearances but expanded her repertoire by working in television serials. It was also during this period that she married Dr. Nirmal Muley and moved to the United States.

Continuing the series on actresses whose names start with A and who have lip-synched to Asha Bhosle’s songs, we come today to Anu Aggarwal, the Aashiqui girl.
Anu Aggarwal arrived with a bang. Her very first film created a huge splash. I still remember the posters of Aashiqui (1990) when they were released. The posters showed a man and a woman hidden behind a jacket, apparently sharing a kiss behind it. Everybody was curious to know who the actor and actress were and what they looked like. The build-up was immense. The songs from the film were first aired on Chitrahaar. The very next day, they became the talk of the town, attracting both praise and criticism.

We now move on to the next actress whose name begins with an “A” and who has lip-synced to a song by Asha Bhosle. Today, we feature Anjala Zaveri.
Anjala Zaveri was launched in a big way through Vinod Khanna’s film Himalay Putra (1997). Since Akshaye Khanna was to be introduced in this film, a nationwide search campaign was conducted to find a suitable heroine for him. A similar kind of large-scale build-up had earlier been seen with Henna (1990), which benefited from it and became successful.
Anjala Zaveri was born in the UK into a Gujarati-speaking family. However, since Himalay Putra was not a major success, her acting career stalled before it could properly take off. The success that eluded her in the Bombay film industry was partially compensated by her work in the Telugu and Tamil film industries, where she remained active for the next eight years or so. In total, she appeared in 23 films: 7 in Hindi, 11 in Telugu, 3 in Tamil, and 1 each in Kannada and Malayalam.
