Chetan Hansraj: photo, biography, films

It's hard to say why at one time the inhabitants of the USSR "got sick" of Indian cinema. Most likely, it was due to the desire of an ordinary citizen from the remote area to forget about his problems and gray everyday life and to admire the beauties in bright outfits dancing dances, full of eroticism and sensuality, against the backdrop of colorful oriental landscapes.

Ironically, today there are many fans of paintings produced in Bollywood. True, we must admit that among the products of modern Indian cinema there are also good films, which differ more than before, the plausibility of the plot and the naturalness of the actors' play. And among the Bollywood stars at the moment there are many young men and women whose appearance attracts representatives of the most famous Western modeling agencies.

Among such actors, belongs Chetan Hansraj, whose films are also available in Russian translation.

Dreams about a model career

At the time when Chetan was finishing school, his cousin - Dzhugal Hansraj - was already a famous actor and model.
