Happy Birthday Shahid Kapoor and Danny Denzongpa!

Born on February 25, 1981, Shahid Kapoor is the son of actor-director Pankaj Kapoor and yesteryear actress Neelima Azeem. Coming from a family where everyone was in the film industry, this Kapoor lad began his Bollywood journey with the romantic-comedy Ishq Vishk (2003) for which he bagged the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. With his cute guy-next-door looks, he soon became the blue-eyed boy of B-town.

Over the years, as an actor he went on to do numerous films which magnified his charisma onscreen. Kapoor has featured in films like Fida (2004), Dil Maange More (2004), Shikhar (2005), Vivah (2006), Jab We Met (2007), Kismat Konnection (2008), Kaminey (2009), Milenge Milenge (2010), Mausam (2011), Teri Meri Kahaani (2012), R..Rajkumar (2013) and many more. At present, Kapoor is enjoying the success of Haider (2014), an adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet for which he has won the Filmfare Award for Best Actor.

Along with being a great actor, he is also known for his infamous dancing skills and he has proven his dancing mettle in almost all of his movies.

Danny Denzongpa on the other hand, is a man of many talents who was born into a Buddhist family in Kolkata, West Bengal on February 25, 1948. Denzongpa first stepped into Bollywood in 1971 with  Zaroorat. He became well known for his performance in Dhundh (1973), after which his career took a flight with films like Chor Machaye Shor (1974), Zorro (1975) and Sangram (1976) to name a few. In the early 80's, Denzongpa decided to quit doing films and diverted his path to become a director. He made his directorial debut with the suspense-horror film Phir Wohi Raat (1980). After the movie became a huge success, he returned to playing positive and supporting roles with movies such as Love Story (1981) and Boxer (1984). 

After making a grand come back in 1984, Denzongpa started getting offers for negative roles, which he began with Dharm Aur Qanoon (1984), and the list goes on to include Kanoon Kya Karega (1984), Oonche Log (1985), Bhagwan Dada (1986), Agneepath (1990), Hum (1991), Krantiveer (1994) and Pukar (2000). He did an international project alongside Hollywood actor BradPitt namely Seven Years In Tibet (1997).

Denzongpa again decided to take a break in 2003 until 2009, during which he did only ten films. Along with being a great actor, he is also an accomplished singer who shared space with Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammed Rafi and Asha Bhonsle. Not only is he a Bollywood actor but he has also appeared in Telugu, Tamil and Nepali cinema. Writing and sculpting are a few of his hidden talents. He was recently seen portraying a corrupt and vicious politician in Jai Ho (2014) and and a runaway criminal in Bang Bang (2014).
