He made his debut with Kahiin To Hoga and became an instant success. He did a few other shows and was also the main lead in Left Right Left . But he left that serial and was replaced by Gaurav Chopra because he wanted to venture into Bollywood. His first movie,Aamir, came out in 2008 and although his acting was applauded, the movie was a box office fail. He did numerous films after that but none were successful.
2- Aamna Sharif
She debuted opposite Rajeev Khandelwal inKahiin To Hoga and instantly rose to fame. The show was a huge success and so was Aamna. But then she left TV to star in Bollywood and even though she delivered 2 films in one year, both opposite Aftab Shivadasani, none of them worked and Aamna’s Bollwyood career never took flight.
