From Glamour to the Himalayas: Why This Bollywood Star Chose Sanyas Over Stardom
After entering the glamorous world of Bollywood, many actors and actresses decide to turn their lives towards spirituality after reaching the heights of fame. There is one such actress, who not only made a name in Bollywood but later completely left the film industry and turned to the life of a sadhu. This actress was so beautiful that she gave tough competition to celebrities like Aishwarya Rai and Sushmita Sen in the Miss India competition.

If you still could not guess, then that actress is none other than Barkha Madan. Many actresses came and went in Bollywood. Only a few of these actresses were able to make a career. Anyway, the career of an actress is not very long in the film industry. Year after year many new actresses come and flop and sit at home.
In order to attract the audience, an actress less than half the age of a middle-aged actor is made the heroine opposite him. Many actresses left showbiz due to not having a great career and got married and settled down. Among these, there are a few actresses who have become Sadhvis. Now Barkha Madan has also become one with them.

Though many offers came to her following her impressive performance in Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi, Barkha preferred to remain selective. She made her entry in foreign films with the Indo-Dutch movie Driving Miss Palmen. It was Ram Gopal Varma‘s 2003 horror film Bhoot which proved to be a turning point in Barkha‘s career. The movie became an instant hit.
