Minissha Lamba may have seen good appreciation coming her way for WELL DONE ABBA and also carried a nice pay check back home. However, it’s the loss of Rs. 500 that she regrets most while working on the film. Reason being that this amount had a certain prestige attached to it and for Minissha, it was an opportunity of the life time to be bestowed with this honour.

So what transpired actually?

“Well, Shyam (Benegal) Sir has a standing rule in every film of his that whoever contributes with the title is given Rs. 500″, sighs Minissha who was one of the many volunteers who took up the challenge, “This amount has remained just the same for 35 years but most importantly, it is notable for the prestige that it carries with it. It is unmatchable though today, all I can imagine is the kind of high that you can get once Shyam Sir hands you over that amount. I am sure it would be much higher than all the money that you get as remuneration for your job as an actor. Source

This cute little actress made her debut in Bollywood with the film, ‘Yahaan’. After tasting success with her first film, she went on to do other films like Corporate, Honeymoon Travels private ltd, Bachna Ae Haseeno and Kidnap. She went for an image change in the film ‘Kidnap’, with her dare to bare bikini act. However that didn’t help, and to top it, the actress went in for a nose job. Unfortunately it turned to be disaster.

Though the change was very much evident Minisha denied that she had gone under the knife. Her efforts to look more desirable and hotter backfired, but we see the star isn’t complaining. Source/courtesy- Indiatimes
