Most of us still remember the moment we watched Imran Khan on our screens as Jai Singh Rathore (Rats) in Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na and made his way into our hearts. His effortless charm and acting chops made him an instant star overnight and everyone was certain that Imran is going to be the next big thing in Bollywood. Unfortunately, our happiness was short-lived as the actor decided to quit the acting industry in just a few years.
Imran has been away from the silver screen since 2015 and NGL we have missed his cute smile and on-screen charisma. Recently, we came across the Delhi Belly actor’s recent pictures from Ira Khan’s Eid bash, and we were left surprised by the actor’s new look. The Luck star looked totally unrecognisable in an all-white pathani.
Imran Khan isn’t the only Bollywood star who has gone through a drastic change in the last couple of years. Let’s be real—it’s fascinating to compare how celebrities look in our memories of them versus how they look now. Keep scrolling to see photos of major stars who are practically unrecognisable now.
Ayesha Takia
In the early 2000s, Ayesha Takia was the ultimate girl-next-door and fans just couldn’t get enough of her. After a bunch of box-office hits, the actress decided to quit the industry after getting married. Fast forward a few years and now Ayesha looks nothing like the diva we came to know and love in the noughties. In an interview, the star spoke about plastic surgery rumours and her transformation and said, “We can’t judge anybody whether an actor or a business person or whoever. They are entitled to do whatever they want to do with themselves. I might not want to do something, that is a personal choice and I’m not someone who would judge a person on that.”
Fardeen Khan
In the last couple of years, Fardeen Khan has been away from the glitz and glamour of showbiz for personal reasons. Back in 2016, the actor was subjected to body-shaming on social media and was trolled for his weight gain. In 2016, he even lashed out at trolls for making fun of his physique. “Not ashamed, neither shamed. Not offended. Not depressed. Not blind either. Happy? Living the happiest chapter thus far. With lbs to show for it (sic),” he wrote in one of the tweets. Later, Fardeen decided to change his lifestyle and shocked everyone with his physical transformation. The actor lost 18 kgs in six months.
Anu Aggarwal
The OG Aashiqui girl Anu became an instant rage in the 90s due to her impressive filmography. After featuring in a few films, the actress decided to bid farewell to the acting industry and became a yoga instructor in Bihar. She is quite popular on the ‘Gram and we are happy to see that she is living her best life.
Shilpa Shirodkar
During the 90s Shilpa Shirodkar was one of the most sought-after actresses in the film industry. After a string of Bollywood hits like Gopi Kishan, Bewafa Sanam, Kishan Kanhaiya and Raghuveer, she decided to quit the industry and moved to Dubai.
Which of these celebs has changed the most? We think Fardeen Khan takes the cake for this one!
