ABOUT Anu Aggarwal

Anu Aggarwal: From Modelling Stardom to a Life Redefined Anu Aggarwal, born January 11, 1969, is a former Indian model and actress who rose to prominence in the early 1990s. Her Bollywood debut in Mahesh Bhatt's Aashiqui (1990) catapulted her to instant fame, establishing her as a leading actress. The film's success cemented her iconic status, particularly her portrayal of a young, aspiring singer. Subsequent roles in films like Khalnayak (1993) and Thiruda Thiruda (1993) showcased her versatility. Her career also extended to international projects such as The Cloud Door (1998). Aggarwal's career, however, took an unforeseen turn after a near-fatal car accident. While details of her personal life post-accident remain largely private, her recovery and subsequent spiritual journey have been widely documented, marking a significant shift in her life's trajectory. She has since focused on personal growth and spiritual pursuits, largely stepping away from the limelight. Despite a relatively short film career, her impact on Bollywood remains significant, with Aashiqui remaining a cinematic landmark. Her iconic roles and the compelling narrative of her life continue to generate interest.
