Dimple Kapadia

Dimple Kapadia, born in 1957, burst onto the Hindi film scene at 16 with Raj Kapoor's "Bobby," securing her place as a teen icon and Filmfare Best Actress winner. A brief retirement followed her marriage to Rajesh Khanna, but she returned in 1984 with "Saagar," another Best Actress accolade. Through the 1980s and beyond, Kapadia challenged typecasting, excelling in diverse roles, from "Kaash" to "Rudaali," earning a National Film Award. Later, she took supporting parts in "Dil Chahta Hai" and "Leela," maintaining a presence in both mainstream and independent cinema. Her children, Twinkle and Rinke Khanna, also followed in her footsteps.
