Meet actress who made debut with Shah Rukh Khan, was Shahid Kapoor’s first heroine, later quit industry due to…, her name is…, married to…

In the unpredictable world of Bollywood, fame is always fleeting. A celebrity who would be winning hearts one day might become totally irrelevant and vanish in thin air the next day. However, in a place where many celebrities come and go, there are a few celebrities who remain etched in our memory despite their active contribution to the industry. There is one such actress who is an example of this. Starring opposite big names like Shah Rukh Khan and Shahid Kapoor, this girl wasn’t a household name or a blockbuster star, but her early work in Indian pop culture and cinema is still remembered by people who grew up watching her films.

Born on 10 May 1981 in Mumbai, Hrishitaa Bhatt made her debut in the film Ashoka (2001) in which she appeared with the ‘Badshah’ of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan. For this film, Rishita also received the Zee Cine Award for Best Debut Actress. Her next film was ‘Dil Vil Pyar Pyar’ (2002) which was liked by the people, but it didn’t make a mark at the box office. After this, Hrishitaa worked in films like ‘Jawani Diwani’, ‘Shararat’, and ‘Haasil’

However, the performance that rose Hrishitaa Bhatt to fame was when she appeared in a hugely popular music video  ‘Aankhon Mein Tera Hi Chehra’ by the Aryans. The song, which came out in 1999, was a blockbuster and Shahid’s first appearance in front of the camera. Shahid was only 17 when he had his first on-screen romantic pairing with Hrishitaa, who became his “first heroine” — a tag that has remained with her over the years as Shahid became one of the leading Bollywood actors.

With the success of the music video, Rishita moved over to films. She made her entry into Bollywood in 2001 with Asoka alongside Shah Rukh Khan.
In the subsequent years, Rishita acted in movies such as Haasil, Shararat, and Jawani Diwani, sharing screens with the stars Jimmy Shergill and Hrithik Roshan. Although Hrishitaa worked with top names in Bollywood and was a powerhouse of talent, she couldn’t make a mark in massy films or become a household name.

Coming to her personal life, Hrishitaa tied the knot in 2017 with Anant Tiwari top diplomat for the United Nations, in an intimate wedding ceremony with only her family and friends as guests.

Today, she stays low-key but active on Instagram, where she has a following of more than 1 million fans. Although she is not acting anymore, her ageless beauty and poise continue to mesmerize her dedicated fans.
