The 30
th
of May marks the birthday of a veteran Bollywood actor and a credit to
the Indian Film Industry,
Paresh Rawal. This multi-talented
Gujarati actor was born in Mumbai in 1950 and is married to Swaroop
Sampat, an
actress and former Miss India winner. Both of them have two sons -
Aditya and
Aniruddh Rawal.
Rawal made his
first appearance
on the silver screen in 1984 with the film
Holi
after which he was seen in a large number of supporting and villain
roles throughout the 1980s and 1990s. One particular movie of his from that period is
Kshana Kshanam where he
played a bank robber, a film for which he attained wide appreciation on his performance. He then was seen in films such as
Sir
and
Woh Chokri which gained him the
National Award for Best Supporting Actor. Since 2000 and onwards, Rawal,
on the majority of cases, has been seen playing comic roles and once
again proved his mesh and continued with his progressive success in the
film circuit. The breakthrough in his career appeared
with the comic blockbuster
Hera Pheri, also starring
Akshay Kumar
and
Suniel Shetty. Rawal's spot on comic timing
and acting abilities of a poor man stuck in the middle of a crime fiasco
are one of the named the reasons for the success of the film. He once
again reprised the role in the movie's sequel,
Phir
Hera Pheri, in 2006. From there on, he starred in almost all the movies with
a character that carried humor, some of which were;
Garam Masala, Hulchul,
Chup
Chup Ke, Welcome, De Dana Dan and the 2012 released
OMG! Oh My God.
