This was also Salmans launch as a leading hero. After the films blockbuster success, Bhagyashree decided only to act opposite her husband, Himalaya. She hasnt had a Bollywood hit since. Her last release was Red Alert: The War Within (2009) where she played a cameo. Nagma - Baaghi (1990) Nagma - Baaghi (1990) Nagma began her Bollywood career with Salman Khan in Baaghi. The film was a decent success and Nagma was appreciated for her performance as the innocent girl thrust into the flesh trade. Her only decent Bollywood success after that was Suhaag, though she did well in the south. Her last release was the Bhojpuri film Gangotri (2007). Ayesha Jhulka - Kurbaan (1991) Ayesha Jhulka - Kurbaan (1991) She had the best possible start with films opposite Salman Khan (Kurbaan), Aamir Khan (Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar), Akshay Kumar (Khiladi), Ajay Devgn (Sangram) and Govinda (Ekka Raja Rani). Ayesha was playing in the top league, but unfortunately, she blew it all away. Her career came to a sliding halt and she was last seen playing the mother in the long delayed Ada (2010). Chandni - Sanam Bewafa (1991) Chandni - Sanam Bewafa (1991) As Sawan Kumars leading lady, Chandni benefited from being presented quite well on screen. Her pairing opposite Salman Khan in Sanam Bewafa was appreciated, but that didnt jump-start her career. Despite a couple of films with Akshay Kumar, she struggled to keep herself afloat. She was last seen in a little known film called Hahakaar (1996). Revathi - Love (1991) Revathi - Love (1991) Revathi had done quite a few films down south before making her Bollywood debut. Though Love had an average run at the box office, her performance was appreciated. She didnt have a single Bollywood success, but her career blossomed down South. Later, Salman Khan acted as an HIV+ patient in Revathys critically acclaimed directorial venture Phir Milenge (2004). Raveena Tandon - Patthar Ke Phool (1991) Raveena Tandon - Patthar Ke Phool (1991) Of all the heroines who started their career cast opposite Salman Khan, the only one who managed to build on this platform was Raveena Tandon. She impressed with her spunk in Patthar Ke Phool, which was a decent (if not a runaway) success. Raveena went on to deliver many more hits. With over 80 films behind her, Raveena was last seen in Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap (2011). Bhoomika Chawla - Tere Naam (2003) Bhoomika Chawla - Tere Naam (2003) Just like Nagma, Bhoomika couldnt find her footing in Bollywood after an impressive start in Tere Naam. She was the only newcomer (she had worked in the south, though) with whom Salman had consented to work 12 years after Raveena Tandon’s debut. Sneha Ullal - Lucky: No Time for Love (2005) Sneha Ullal - Lucky: No Time for Love (2005) Her striking resemblance to Aishwarya Rai was the most noticeable thing about Sneha Ullal. Still, she did play her part well in Lucky: No Time for Love. The film was a decent success, courtesy super-hit songs and some exotic locales. Snehas career didnt go anywhere, though, and her last film was the forgettable Its Rocking: Dard-E-Disco (2012). Zarine Khan - Veer (2010) Zarine Khan - Veer (2010) Zarine Khan, who resembles Katrina Kaif, played the princess in Veer and did reasonably well. She acted in the box office success Housefull 2. Her next film is Amar Must Die, with Rajeev Khandelwal. Sonakshi Sinha - Dabangg (2010) Sonakshi Sinha - Dabangg (2010) A Salman Khan discovery who has been consistently successful is Sonakshi Sinha. And she hasnt looked back after their blockbuster film Dabangg.
