There are many actors who have made their mark in the minds of the audience by showing their faces in only a few films. There are many who have left the film industry despite proving their acting skills. I am going to talk about one such actress now. She had to experience many ups and downs in her career. She had to face emotional struggles and controversies. Finally, she had to leave the film industry forever. She is none other than actress Farah Naaz, sister of bollywood actress Tabu.


Farah started her career at the age of 17 with Yash Chopra's film Faasle (1985). Although the film failed at the box office, everyone liked the actress. She later acted in many films and was noticed. She acted in many successful films with leading heroes of that time like Rajesh Khanna, Dharmendra, Sanjay Dutt, and Aamir Khan. Some of her notable films include Imaandar, Yateem, Marte Dam Tak, Khuda Gawah, and Baap Numbri Beta Dus Numbri.


She revealed many difficulties she faced in an interview with Filmfare in 1988. She admitted that she had attempted suicide by slitting her wrist due to family issues. Farah faced a setback in her career after two incidents in 1989. She had slapped her co-star Chunky Pandey while acting in the film 'Kasam Vardi Ki'. She slapped him over a joke she didn’t find funny.


In the same year, film 'Rakhwala' bombed at the box office. Anil Kapoor said the film would have been a hit if Madhuri Dixit had played the female lead instead of Farah. This angered Farah and she threatened him. These controversies damaged the actress' image and affected her career opportunities.
