Rishi Kapoor's heroine got married four times, career got ruined after…, away from limelight for 33 years, she is…
There are very few people in the world of acting who get the recognition they deserve as soon as they debut, for which they have to struggle for years in the industry. Actress Zeba Bakhtiar got great recognition in 1991 with her debut film 'Hina'. Actress Zeba Bakhtiar started her career in 1991 with Rishi Kapoor's film 'Henna'. Earlier, Raj Kapoor had seen her in a show and decided to cast her in the film. But the actress did not get that recognition even after a blockbuster debut.
30 years ago, Pakistani actress Zeba Bakhtiar, who worked with Rishi Kapoor in the 1991 superhit film 'Henna', won the hearts of people as soon as she debuted. Her beautiful picture is still in people's minds. 'Henna' was Zeba's first film, and as soon as it became a superhit, Zeba became a superstar overnight, although after this film, Zeba worked in many other films. But she could not get the success again, which she got from this film.
After Hina, Zeba has worked in films like Mohabbat Ki Aarzoo, Stuntman, Jai Vikranta, Sargam, Mukadma, Chief Sahib , and Bin Roye . On TV, apart from Anarkali , she has worked in shows like Tansen, Laag, Mulakat, Muqaddas, Mehmaan, Mussoorie, Doordesh, Samjhauta Express, Hazaron Saal, and Pehli Si Mohabbat .
No one knows where Zeba Bakhtiar, who made a splash with her first film, is and what she is doing now. Zeba's real name is Shaheen Thay. Zeba is the daughter of Pakistani politician and former Attorney General, Yahya Bakhtiar. Very few people know that Zeba started her career on the small screen in Pakistan and played an important role in the TV serial Anarkali in 1988. Her acting in this show was highly praised. Raj Kapoor saw her in this show and cast her in a film under the RK banner.
Zeba worked with Rishi Kapoor in the film. She became his heroine in this film. Ashwini Bhave was in the lead role in this film. But the new Neyveli Zeba gave her a tough competition with her character. This was Zeba's debut film and was also a blockbuster. But after this, none of her films could do wonders.

Adnan Sami opens up about divorce from his first wife Zeba Bakhtiar: 'Let us respect that there was love and move on'
Adnan Sami , who is currently enjoying a peaceful life with wife Roya Faryabi and daughter Medina, recently opened up about his first marriage to actress Zeba Bakhtiar , which ended in divorce in the late 1990s. The singer recently shared a rare insight into the emotional aftermath of their separation, choosing to focus on the love and memories they once shared rather than the pain of the breakup. 'Sometimes what happens is that with time, for whatever reason, it was not meant to be, and that does not make you or me a bad person. That is destiny,' Adnan told Bollywood Bubble. He emphasized that while the marriage didn't last, it began with love, something he believes should be respected, no matter how things ended. 'We tried, and it did not work out... maybe it ended in a fight or a major clash. But when you part, remember once upon a time, there was love, and let us respect that and move on. This person did bring me joy at a particular point in life and we had some great moments together,' he added. Zeba Bakhtiar: 'I wasn't interested in continuing to act' Zeba Bakhtiar, a celebrated Pakistani actress, married Adnan in 1993. The couple welcomed a son, Azaan Sami Khan, now a music composer and actor. However, their marriage ended in divorce in 1997. In a past interview with Aamna Haider Isani, Zeba revealed how the end of her marriage impacted her personally and professionally. 'When I got married to Adnan, I was wrapping up a few films. At that time, I wasn't interested in continuing to act,' she said. After Azaan's birth, she shifted her focus to motherhood and left acting behind. 'But when the marriage didn't work out, I started doing productions and other projects,' she added, hinting at how the failure of the relationship influenced her creative pursuits. Adnan Sami Jackson WanMeetsg & Old Friends at Hrithik Roshan's Star-Studded Dinner A turbulent past with love, a stable present with Roya Adnan Sami has been married three times. His first marriage to Zeba Bakhtiar resulted in the birth of their son, Azaan, but ended in 1997.

International Yoga Day 2025: Hina Khan Can Do Yoga Anywhere, Even On The Beach
Fitness has been a core part of Hina Khan's life. From challenging her body to battling cancer, the actress indulges in various workout routines to keep up with her health goals. Hina yet again raised the bar high for weekend fitness as she shared glimpses of her yoga routine on Instagram. On the occasion of International Yoga Day, the actress was seen doing side plank, tree pose, upward-facing dog and Sukhasana by the sea. In the caption, Hina wrote, "Yoga with a perfect view. Yoga, breath work, and meditation are everything. Be good to yourself." Take a look: View this post on Instagram A post shared by ???????????????? ???????????????? (@realhinakhan) 1. Side plank pose The opening frame featured Hina performing a variation of a side plank pose, often called Vasisthasana in yoga. Here, the diva was seen supporting her body with one hand on the ground, with the body extended sideways, and the other arm raised upward, creating a strong and balanced posture. The pose may be modified or adapted for comfort, but it closely resembles the side plank pose. 2. Tree pose Next, we see her doing the tree pose, also known as Vrikshasana in yoga. This pose involves standing on one leg with the other foot placed on the inner thigh or calf of the standing leg, while the arms are extended outward or upward for balance. It helps strengthen the core, hip, and shoulder muscles. More specifically, it targets the obliques, which run along the sides of the torso. 3. Upward-facing dog pose Then, Hina does the upward-facing dog pose, also known as Urdhva Mukha Svanasana in yoga. It involves lying face down and then pressing the hands into the ground to lift the chest upward, with the legs extended straight behind. It is a backbend that opens the chest and strengthens the arms, shoulders, and spine. This asana helps with digestion and builds strength all over the body while toning the abs, back, and legs. 4. Easy pose Hina concludes her yoga routine with Sukhasana or easy pose, which is a meditative or seated relaxation posture. It involves sitting cross-legged with hands resting on the knees and palms facing upward. The pose is often associated with meditation and mindfulness practices in yoga. It improves posture, flexibility, and circulation, while also calming the mind and reducing stress and anxiety.
