Certain persons enter a particula industry/field like a storm and leave a distinct finger print and everyone believes, he/she will create wonders and magic in this field. But some unfortunate persons remain "One hit wonder". It is not the case of movies only, literature, music or anything, instances are many. Can you quote a few such persons belonging to different fields?
For example: Mahima Chaudary of Pardes and Bhagyasree of Maine pyar kiya, they got great breaks to Bollywood and their first movies were great hits too. But they were not able to sustain that statistics in film industry later.

B) One hit wonder have long list, Kumar Gorav, Kajal Kiran, Ranjeeta, Naseem and more....
I would consider Vinod Kambli in the list though he was not one hit wonder. He played well in in short time but then suddenly disappeared from cricket. There is no doubt about it that he was a good player. :)

what a long list :woohoo: :woohoo:
Thank you

Can you quote a few names non-related to cinema?
There are of course many such actors both male and female who gave a couple of hits and vanished...Dimple Kapadia would have been that after Bobby, but she did come back and have a great career after that. Mumtaz's sister or cousin acted in one film Kabhi Kabhie only... There was an old film Ek Kali Muskayee which had Joy Mukherji and Meera Jogelkar in the lead, she being the daughter of the film maker...

:) What a memory, great
To my mind comes a name- Priya. she acted in the movies 'Haqueekat' and 'Hansate Zakhm'. He role as Ladakh girl in 'Haqueekat' is unforgettable.
The name which i could remember right now is Bani Jayram . In my opinion she had fantastic melodious voice which we had forgotten.
Suhaib Ilyasi - Host of India's first reality TV show, India's Most Wanted. Being first of its type show was a big hit.

Is she the same Priya Rajvansh who acted opposite Raj Kumar in Heer Ranjha?

Vani Jayaram had a good career. She is not a one hit wonder.. After she left Mumbai, she sang for many years for all the southern films.

Wow! Beautiful picture, she was indeed good looking but failed to build a career in bollywood probably because she didn't look outside the Anand camp? :blink:

I think recently she died and she had no one with her during her death. She was very beautiful I remember her film Haste Jakhm I think she did not know Hindi. :blink:

Yes she died violently and Chetan Anand's sons were suspected as having a hand in her murder, not sure what happened after that....Hanste Zakhm and Haqeeqat were her best films, she looked lovely in Haqeeqat...Always remember her in the song Zara si aahat hoti tho...
Another actress I remember is Padma Khanna- dancer in the movie 'Johny mera naam'. Her dance song 'Husna ke lakhon ke rang' is memorable.
