Meet Govinda's heroine who was once considered Karisma Kapoor's lookalike, did a superhit debut, now looks unrecognisable,
In the ever-evolving industry of Bollywood, many actors come and go every day to Mumbai with a suitcase full of dreams and aspirations of making it big on the silver screen. However, there are rarely a few celebrities who earn that stardom and remain etched in the memories of the audience for years to come. One such similar tale is of an actress who stole the hearts of millions as soon as she entered the industry.
The actress we are talking about is none other than Ritu Shivpuri
She ventured into the entertainment industry during the golden era when actresses like Karisma Kapoor, Juhi Chawla were dominating the industry. She made her debut with the film Aankhen in 1993. This David Dhawan film turned out to be a major hit at the box office. Her captivating screen presence, expressive eyes, and natural acting stole the hearts of many, and quickly she became a fan favourite. Her iconic song 'Lal Dupatte Wali Tere Naam Toh Bata' has become a classic and still resonates with the audience.
A lot of her fans also compared her with Karisma Kapoor, calling her a lookalike. Besides Hindi cinema, Ritu also worked in several South Indian films, showcasing her versatility as an actress.
Although her entertainment career did not last long. Slowly and gradually, Ritu distanced herself from the industry. Today, after 32 years, her recent pictures have resurfaced online. Many failed to recognise her, surprised by how much she has changed over the years.
Ritu is an active lifestyle and fitness enthusiast; she keeps posting about it on her social media as well.
However, despite a great start, her magic faded quietly. Her journey is a reminder of the unpredictable nature of cinema.
