How Pakistani Actress Salma Agha’s Promising Bollywood Career Ended

here is much talk these days about Pakistani actor Fawad Khan’s return to Bollywood. Indian fans are eagerly anticipating his reappearance in Hindi films. Alongside Fawad, other Pakistani stars like Mahira Khan, Saba Qamar, and Ali Zafar have also ventured into Hindi films and received immense love from Indian fans. The trend of Pakistani actors working in HIndi films dates back to almost 40 years ago. Back in 1982, a Pakistani actress with captivating eyes and an innocent smile made her Bollywood debut and became an overnight star with her first film. We are talking about none other than Salma Agha.

Salma Agha made her debut in Hindi films with the 1982 movie Nikaah. She played the lead role alongside Raj Babbar and Deepak Parashar. The success of her first film catapulted her to stardom overnight. Fans were captivated by her beauty and acting skills, leading to a flood of offers for many other films. Salma Agha was just 17 years old, when Nikaah was released. Achieving the kind of success with her debut that many actresses dream of, she became a star overnight. Despite her initial triumph, Salma Agha couldn’t sustain her success in the film industry. She became entangled in personal life troubles, which ultimately derailed her promising career.

Salma Agha never really wanted to become an actress. She came into films by chance. She had come to the city of dreams, Mumbai, with the dream of becoming a singer and fate made her an actress. Salma had reached a place in connection with singing, where she met filmmaker BR Chopra, who offered her her first film. Salma Agha proved her acting prowess by giving brilliant performances in many films like Pati Patni Aur Tawaif, Unche Log and Jungle Ki Beti.

Love entered Salma Agha’s life multiple times, but her relationships remained unfulfilled even after marriage. She has experienced the pain of divorce twice.

Renowned Pakistani director Javed Sheikh entered Salma Agha’s life, prompting her to return to Pakistan. She began working there and married the director. Their marriage lasted only six years. In 1989, Salma married squash player Rehmat Khan, but this marriage also ended in 2010. She has a son and a daughter from this marriage.
