In showbiz, being known by your character name is a compliment. It shows that the actor truly lived vicariously through the role and found a connection with their audience. Well, over the last few days, some of our fave actors have given a tribute to all the names they’ve been known for in different films. It’s on the trending audio, ‘That’s Not My Name‘ by ‘The Ting Tings‘ and it has got us feeling too nostalgic as well. Now, get some popcorn and scroll your way down the memory lane with these Reels.
Camera Rolling and Action!
1. Deepika Padukone
Damn, we honestly can’t pick a favourite from these. All her characters have a special place in our hearts. But if we do have to pick one, it would defo be the one that introduced her to us and that is, ‘Shanti Priya‘. She’ll always be iconic, amirite? Brb, getting some popcorn to watch ‘Om Shanti Om’ today.
2. Anushka Sharma
Ahh, from ‘Taani’ in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi to ‘Aafia Yusufzai Bhinder’ in Zero, Anushka has been a part of some amazing Bollywood movies and we honestly are in love with her filmography. And now we can’t wait for her to get back on the big screen with her next, Chakda Express.
3. Karisma Kapoor
Karisma as Fiza, Sapna, Nisha, and all the amazing roles she has done over all these years have been just WOW. There’s no denying the fact that she is super iconic. Ngl, this phenomenal woman has simply ‘le gayi’ our ‘dil’. Well, ‘that’s not your name‘ but you’re all of them and the ‘The Real Karisma Kapoor’ to us.
4. Sonam Kapoor
While ‘Neerja’ changed the course of Sonam’s life as an actor, we believe that Sonam is ‘Aisha’. That name has almost become eponymous to her, right? We love how she has always made it a point to pick a different script and has played so many versatile characters to date.
5. Ayushmann Khurrana
Ayushmann’s journey in Bollywood is simply ecstatic. From a ‘Roadie’ to an absolutely amazing anchor and actor, this guy has worn so many hats and added a wing to them all. He’s an all-rounder and this Reel was defo a crash course in his awesome filmography.
6. Sara Ali Khan
‘Namaste darshako’, hehe. Sara is all set to introduce herself as Somya in her next film, and this video really gave us that ‘throwback waale feels’. We still remember her amazing debut on ‘Koffee with Karan’ and she really has come a long way now.
7. Bhumi Pednekar
Bhumi really has our hearts for all the wonderful films she has given the industry over the years. They’re all unique in their own ways and absolutely mind-blowing. From casting to being cast, this girl is totes pataka and we love her for that.
8. Shilpa Shetty Kundra
We can’t help but sing, ‘tum dil ki dhadkan mei rehti ho‘ for this stunning woman, hehe. With each film, she has given us a role to remember for life and we love her for that. Needless to say, she is ‘super se bhi upar‘, right?
Well, these Reels really gave us a throwback to all the amazing movies and characters these actors have blessed us with. We’re simply in awe of them all. On that note, we hope y’all are vaccinated and staying safe.
