After a hiatus of sorts, BollyCurry is back with its popular feature - Celebrity in the Spotlight! In this edition, we shall be featuring the extremely talented Swara Bhaskar.

Born on 9th April, 1988, in Delhi, to parents Chitrapu Uday Bhaskar, a Naval Officer, and Ira Bhaskar, a professor of Cinema studies, Bhaskar majored in English Literature and Sociology from Delhi University. After earning a part in NK Sharma's theatre group, Act One, Bhaskar ventured into Bollywood with the film MadhoLal - Keep Walking (2009), which was when she shifted base to Mumbai.
 
Despite making appearances in films such as Guzaarish (2010), it was her portrayal of Payal in the 2011 hit film Tanu Weds Manu that won her widespread critical acclaim. From then on, there was no looking back for this talented actress, as she went on to star in a slew of successful films such as Raanjhanaa (2013) and Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015).
 
Bhaskar has been nominated multiple times for her stellar performances, and has also won three awards in the category for Supporting Actor (Female) for her roles in Tanu Weds Manu and Raanjhanaa. Slated to appear in Rajshri Productions' ambitious Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, scheduled for release later this month, Bhaskar's career seems to be on an all time high!
 
Did You Know?
  1. Swara Bhaskar and popular Bollywood actress Minisha Lamba completed their undergraduate degree from the same university.
  2. She has appeared as a guest in a Pakistani Comedy Show, Mazaaq Raat.
 
She will soon be seen in Annirudh Chawla's Sabki Bajegi Band and Abbas Tyrewala's Mango, alongside the multi talented Monali Thakur and amazing Chandan Roy Sanyal. From this BollyCurry writer and all others, here's wishing Bhaskar all the very best for all her future endeavours with the hope of seeing more of her on our screens!
