We always talk about how actresses from television enter the Bollywood industry and conquer the big screen. But do you know there are many Bollywood actresses who have tried to make a mark on the small screen?
So, today let’s look at the list of the actresses who featured in TV fiction shows…
Amrita Rao
After making a mark in Bollywood with films like Ishq Vishk, Main Hoon Na, Vivah, and others, Amrita Rao made her small screen debut with Meri Awaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai in the year 2016. The show ended after a few months as it didn’t get great TRPs.
In the 90s, Sonali Bendre ruled the silver screen and starred in many successful films like Diljale, Zakhm, Sarfarosh, Hum Saath Saath Hain, and others. While she had judged reality shows on the small screen, she made her fiction debut in 2014 with the serial Ajeeb Daastaan Hai Ye. The show ran for around six months and the actress’ performance was appreciated a lot.
Karisma Kapoor
Karisma Kapoor was doing quite well in her career when she decided to make her small screen debut. It was in 2003 when she featured in a show titled Karishma – The Miracles of Destiny. The actress played a double role in it and impressed one and all. The show ran for more than a year.
Raveena Tandon
Just like Karisma, Raveena Tandon was also doing very well in Bollywood. But decided to turn her ways towards TV and made her debut with the show Sahib Biwi Gulam. The show was based on the 1953 Bengali novel Saheb Bibi Golam by Bimal Mitra.
Amrita Singh
After ruling Bollywood in the 80s and 90s, Amrita Singh made her small screen debut in 2005 with the serial Kkavyanjali. She played a grey character in it and her performance was appreciated a lot. The show was promoted as the acting comeback of Amrita Singh.
That Pali Hill plot where the old Kapoor house stood is finally ready.
They put out a note themselves, talking about new beginnings and asking for some space.
It is huge: six floors, hanging gardens, the whole works.

Alia just bagged another Filmfare award for Jigra.
So, the construction fences are finally down. The boxes are being packed. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are finally hauling boxes into that Pali Hill place, and choosing Diwali for it is certainly no accident. This is a proper family move, the whole clan under one roof. Calling it a 'new build' feels incomplete, doesn't it? I mean, they tore the old place down, sure, but the land itself? That is all Kapoor history. They have simply put a new house on a very, very old foundation.

So, what is the place actually like?
With an estimated value of £24 million, (Rs 250 crore) it is six floors stacked up on that prized Pali Hill plot. That video leak a few months back really blew up. Alia was furious, and rightly so, someone just filmed the place and posted on social media. We all saw a raw, unauthorized peek because of it. The home seems to have tiered gardens on the terrace, like a modern take on a classic Mumbai bungalow.

Why does this Pali Hill move matter so much?
That land is Kapoor history. Tearing down the original house was a gamble. Neetu ji, Ranbir, Alia, and their daughter Raha, all under one roof now. Four generations in one building. On top of that, it's during Diwali. It is about lighting lamps in a new space that is actually full of old memories. They also sent a note to the media politely asking for privacy around their new Pali Hill home.

What is happening on the work front?
As if moving house is not chaotic enough, Alia is still riding the high from her Filmfare win for Jigra. Her sixth. She put up a post calling it a project close to her heart, and you can tell she is not just using a press release line. Now the industry chatter is all about their next big one. They are teaming up again for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, with Vicky Kaushal in the mix too.
