Relive90s: 4 Leading Actors who Rocked 90s with their Female Avatar
Success behind a bollywood movie on big screen is the contribution of entire team sweating in shifts to complete their dream project. We have seen actors playing as dream Macho man for their lead heroines who struggle for his love and clashes with villains at the end, for their happy and fortunate life.
Yes!!! Bollywood era of 90s has showcased many movies with this usual theme, but there are few versatile actors during 90s who have donned female costumes and entertained audience by their comic roles. Relive90s lists four artists who played female characters on screen and added another super hit movie in their career and left audience applauding for their roles.
Govinda:
Who can forget the bright pink Ghaghara and sarees draped by Govinda to play the role of Aunty on their friend’s request? The movie turns hilariously comic when two men (Kader Khan and Saeed Jaffrey) start loving aunty and wanted to marry her. The song “Apne jigar ko thaam k baitho” was sung by Arzoo Banoo, a perfect vocalist to justice the character voice. The movie was immensely popular and henceforth Govinda is remembered as the best aunty of bollywood. The movie was based on a Marathi play “Moruchi Mayshi” created by Acharya Atre.
