top of fame. The tragedy is that both Rahul and Anu could failed to utilize the
success of their first film. So far as Anu Agarwal is concerned, she took wrong
decision in selection of films afterwards and one after another flop pushed her
in backward direction. Anu’s own lifestyle was also responsible for her flop in
the industry. May be the educated actress made so many mistakes that she is now
living like a common woman.
