Support from parents can be a game-changer, as Minisha Lamba knows well. Their encouragement propelled her into Bollywood, but her first film ‘Aashiq Aawara’ greeted her with a dramatic slap on set that became legendary.
Minisha’s journey began with family discussions around dinner tables in Delhi. Convinced of her talent, her parents greenlit the move to Mumbai. Paired with Govinda, the film was her big break—and brutal introduction.
During a confrontation scene, the slap landed with unintended force. The set fell silent, but Minisha’s composure shone through. She finished the day, emerging wiser about the demands of the craft.
Her resilience paid off with successes in ‘Pyaar Kiya Nahin Jaatha,’ ‘Haatim Tai,’ and beyond. From supporting roles to leads, she carved a niche with her expressive performances.
Today, Minisha attributes much to that early trial. It built her character, much like her parents built her confidence. The incident, once a shock, now fuels her narrative of triumph.
For aspiring stars, Minisha’s saga is a blueprint: lean on loved ones, brace for blows, and keep shining. Her story reaffirms Bollywood’s magic lies in its unscripted moments.
