Many actresses who were superstars in the 80s and 90s have now disappeared from the silver screen. Today, we will tell you about one such actress who once ruled the film world but now it is difficult to even recognise her. We are talking about none other than Salma Aghawho made her debut in 1982 with the film 'Nikaah'. She played the lead role in this film opposite Raj Babbar and Deepak Parashar.

Salma Agha's debut film made her an overnight star. She entered the film world at only 17 years of age and succeeded in making a name for herself. However, despite this, Salma Agha could not hold on to the good times and suddenly disappeared from the industry. 

Let us tell you that Salma Agha became an actress just by chance. She dreamt of becoming a singer and had reached Naushad Ali's house, where she met filmmaker BR Chopra. BR Chopra was so impressed by her that he offered a film to Salma Agha. 

Salma Agha then worked in many hit films such as 'Pati Patni Aur Tawaif', 'Oonche Log', and 'Jungle Ki Beti'. She also sang in many of her films.

However, despite enjoying a successful professional life, Salma Agha's personal life remained in turmoil. She went through three failed marriages but could never find the love she wanted. 

Salma Agha was in a relationship in the 1980s with London-based businessman Ayaz Sipra but the duo never got married. Her first husband was Javed Sheikh in the 1980s. She was then married to squash player Rahmat Khan. They have two children together – Zara "Sasha" Agha Khan and Ali Agha Khan (Liaqat Ali Khan).

Her third marriage was in 2010 with Dubai-based businessman Manzar Shah. 

The constant upheaval in her personal life ruined Salma Agha's career. She even tried her luck in Pakistani films, but could not succeed there either. Now 67, Salma Agha still lives a stylish life.
