Happy birthday to Neha Dhupia.

Happy birthday to Neha Dhupia.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Neha Dhupia on 27th August, 2010. Neha Dhupia, the daughter of Commander Pradip Dhupia of Indian Navy, had attracted public attention after winning the Miss India Universe 2002 crown in that year. After beginning her career in the film Qayamat: City Under Threat, she impressed the viewers with challenging role in the film Julie where her glamour was used to perfection.

But she got a notable role in the film Kya Cool Hai Hum in 2005. She acted opposite Ritesh Deshmukh where Tusshar Kapoor and Isha Koppikar were the other pair. Isha Koppikar, the police officer in the film was sent by Anupam Kher to investigate a case relating to a habitual offender. Tusshar Kapoor was suspected to be a murderer and Isha Koppikar was sent to his house to monitor his activities. Ritesh Deshmukh had an affair with Neha Dhupia and married her at the end of the film. The film was serio-comic in nature and Neha Dhupia performed very well in her respective role.

She also got a purposeful role in the film Shootout At Lokhandwala. The film was related to a real-life story where the Bombay police had trapped the underworld group in a house in Bombay and fired at them. Sanjay Dutt gave a memorable performance in the role of Encounter specialist in the film opposite Vivek Oberoi who played the role of a mafia don. Neha Dhupia did her part very well.

She did even better in the film Chup Chup Ke, in the role of the sister of Kareena Kapoor. Shahid Kapoor pretended to be dumb in the film and stayed in their house. Neha Dhupia acted as a mediator between Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor and helped in the marriage between the two. Neha Dhupia knew that Shahid Kapoor could speak but never informed Sunil Shetty or Om Puri or any other member of the house about it. Although the film was related to the serio-comic relationship between Om Puri, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav, Neha Dhupia kept her mark in a reserve role and in some of the sequences even acted better than Kareena Kapoor.

She was even impressive in her supporting role in the film Singh is Kinng, where Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar had the lead roles. Singh is Kinng also did good business in India and abroad.

But if her performance in the earlier films like Sheesha and new films like Mithya are compared it will be found that initially the stylish screen presence and bold performance of Neha Dhupia was publicized by the producers.

These days the acting skills of Neha Dhupia are used. She had been bold enough to act in the role of a prostitude in the film De Dana Dan in 2008. The role required comedy timing and she did extremely well.

In 2009, her performance in the film Raat Gayi Baat Gayi bagged her the nomination for Star Screen Award for the best actress in a supporting role. She is busy in 2010 with two films, Action Replay and With Love to Obama. So it raises the valid question, whether the glamour of Neha Dhupia had decreased over the period of time? Unless she grabs any glamourous role in near future she will not remain in the rat race where the competition between Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor is very keen.

Expectation of Neha Dhupia in 2009.

Expectation of Neha Dhupia in 2009.

Some of the actresses of bollywood films who does not have dominating influence like Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif remain dependant on the success of the films for their own growth. Actresses like Neha Dhupia fall in that category. Although she had acted in many hit films and had remained the central character in hit films, neither had she received the recognition that she deserved nor the media coverage that she expected.

She gave a spirited performance in the film Julie. She was sublime in the film Siskiya. In Kya Cool Hai Hum, she was more composed than Ritesh Dehmukh. She had an affair with him, and yet Ritesh never knew the face of the girl he loved. While the affair of Tushar Kapoor and Isha Koppikar blossomed with comedy sequences, Neha Dhupia’s affair was of silent nature.

In Chup Chup Ke, she played a more significant role than Kareena Kapoor. She could speak and persuaded Shahid Kapoor to call the person who was supposed to marry Kareena to break the engagement. Nobody in the house knew that Shahid Kapoor could speak excepting Neha. But she communicated before Neha and Kareena as a friend and solved their family problems in style. When the film became successful the entire credit was given to Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor and the character actors like Om Puri, Paresh Rawal.

The same thing happened in the film Shootout at Lokhandwala. Sanjay Dutt and Vivek Oberoi got the focus. Some of the viewers even forgot that Neha Dhupia acted in that film. Singh is Kinng is another film that saw composed performance of Neha Dhupia, inspite of Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar getting the entire attention of the director and the producer. Neha also showed some action stunts in the film as she was the member of gang in Australia which was taken over by Akshay Kumar after her leader fell ill.

2009 is another year where Neha Dhupia has lot of expectations. May be if she continues the standard of performance that she previously had given or excels in her roles, she may get late recognition. Her upcoming films include Cellphone, Hot (a film where she had given bold performance) and Kuch Love Kuch Drama. Besides she has an item number in the film Kabhi Pyar Na Karna.

Let us hope that Neha Dhupia continue her good work.

Neha Dhupia had remained an unsung actress.

Neha Dhupia had remained an unsung actress.

Neha Dhupia had always remained an unsung actress. Being the daughter of Commander Pradip Dhupia, she strong aggressive army background. She even studied in Naval Public School, Cochin, and also Army Public School, Dhaula Kuan, New Delhi. The viewers had seen Neha Dhupia in TV Serials like Rajdhani and know her from an age of five.

In respect of her career in bollywood films, she started her innings with Pyar Kiya Do Darna Kya in 1997. She attracted the attention of the producers and directors with her Miss India Universe Crown in 2002. Although her initial films like Qayamat: City Under Threat, did moderate business, she created her identity in a bold role in the film Julie.

In Kya Kool Hai Hum, she played a romantic role opposite Ritesh Deshmukh where Tushar Kapoor and Isha Kopikaar formed the other pair. Ritesh Deshmukh loved Neha Dhupia, but got attached with her brother who was a gay character without knowing his identity. The identity was revealed at the end of the film. Even Isha Kopikaar, a police officer under the instruction of Anupam Kher considered Tushar Kapoor to be a criminal, but after knowing that he was innocent saved him.

In Chup Chup Ke, she did a greater job than Kareena Kapoor. She was the sister of the dumb girl played by Kareena Kapoor. Kareena fell in love with Shahid Kapoor who pretended to be dumb, and their relationship was created through the communication of Neha Dhupia. She helped Shahid Kapoor to speak on telephone and prevent Sunil Shetty, the brother of Kareena Kapoor from getting her married with another person. She concealed the identity of Shahid Kapoor in the house even after knowing that he was not dumb. Neha’s role was as important as any of the senior actors in the film like Om Puri or Paresh Rawal.

In Singh is Kinng, Neha Dhupia’s role was as important as Katrina Kaif’s role. She was part of the team of Sonu Sood, who got injured and was replaced by Akshay Kumar, who came to Australia to take Sonu Sood back to India. Neha Dhupia even showed her fighting stunts in the film, which she inherited from her father.

Even her dance numbers or special appearances in successful films like Heyy Babby, or Garam Masala require special mention. She was absolutely brilliant in Sanjay Dutt’s film Shootout at Lokhandwala.

It is very unfortunate that she had never got the credit which she deserved for her dynamic performances in successful films till date. The viewers expect that her performance in the films Cellphone, or Hot will establish her as a leading actress of bollywood films very soon.

It was a suspense thriller where Neha Dhupia was impressive with her performance.

She did very well in the film Chup Chup Ke, where she played the role of the cousin sister of Kareena Kapoor, who was dumb.
