Divya Bharti and Prithvi Wazir: There are many actors in the film industry who become superstars overnight from their first film, but maintaining success in this dazzling world of Bollywood is not within everyone’s power. Some actors, even after a promising start, gradually get left behind in the race and get lost in the darkness of anonymity. The 90s were a period of great change for Indian cinema. At that time, young actors like Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar were struggling hard to establish their foothold in the film industry and get the best films. During this period, a new face emerged who created a stir at the box office with his very first film, but luck changed in such a way that within a few years his entire career was ruined.
‘Dil Ka Kya Kasoor’ became an overnight success
We are talking about actor Prithvi Wazir, who is known only as ‘Prithvi’ in the cinema world. Prithvi made his Bollywood debut in the year 1992 with the film ‘Dil Ka Kya Kasoor’. His opposite in this film was the very popular and beautiful actress of that era, Divya Bharti. The film proved to be a blockbuster at the box office and made Prithvi a big star overnight. The on-screen chemistry of Divya Bharti and Prithvi in the film was greatly appreciated by the audience. Along with this, the songs of this film composed by the duo Nadeem-Shravan created a stir in the music world at that time. Seeing this tremendous success of Prithvi, the media even declared him the next Rajesh Khanna of Bollywood.
When Shahrukh and Akshay Kumar were given tough competition
This was the period when today’s superstars like Shahrukh Khan and Akshay Kumar were trying to find their true identity in the industry. At that time, Prithvi was considered to be the most emerging and credible face as a romantic hero in Hindi cinema. He started being compared with big actors and it seemed that he would rule Bollywood in the future. But in this most golden and initial phase of his career, he made a big mistake which put his entire future in darkness.
A wrong contract ruined his career
Signing a contract with a film company at the best time of his career proved to be the biggest mistake of Prithvi’s life. In an interview given in the year 2021, Prithvi had revealed this painful period and said, ‘I was trapped in such a legal contract, from which it became almost impossible for me to get out. That contract completely sealed the most important and peak time of my career. I was not able to do films as per my wish. I did not want to disappear from the industry and was always alive in the hearts of my fans, but due to this legal hurdle, many great films were lost from my hands. After this contract ended, he stopped getting lead roles and was limited to only side roles or supporting characters. Eventually he took a long break from acting.
Where and in what condition is Prithvi Wazir now?
After staying away from the limelight for a long time, recently Prithvi Wazir has once again appeared on social media. He has shared a new reel video on his Instagram account with a content creator Dr. Vanita Ghadge Desai, in which he is seen recreating the song ‘Milene Ki Tum Try Karna’ from his own superhit film. In the caption of the video, he wrote, ‘Please do not make any negative comments. This video has been made only for your entertainment, if you don’t like it then move on.
Last seen in Dhak
If we talk about his work, he was last seen in a small cameo role in the 2024 film ‘Dhaak’. In his personal life, Prithvi is married to Sapna Wazir (Lubna Wazir) and he is occasionally seen with his wife at select film events or parties. Today he is living a quiet and anonymous life away from the glare of the film industry.
