touted as next Rajesh Khanna rose to fame in the 90s

In the glitzy glamour world there are stories often told but seldom remembered. One such story refers to an actor who seemed poised to take the industry by storm. He was the charming young man who was touted as ‘the next Rajesh Khanna ’ — a title that promised greatness. His films were anticipated, his performances praised, and his fanbase grew by the day. Yet, despite all this, his career came crashing down due to one ill-fated decision.

He was none other than actor Prithvi Vazir.
He was a promising young star but vanished from the limelight. His fall was extremely swift.

It was 1992, a year that marked the beginning of a new era in Bollywood. The 90s were a period of transition in the film industry. The older generation of Bollywood stars: Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna , and Rishi Kapoor had started stepping back from lead roles, making way for fresh faces. The rise of the three Khans—Shah Rukh, Salman, and Aamir was on the horizon, and Akshay Kumar was carving his space as well.

But amidst this new wave, Prithvi Vazir stood out for his raw talent and good looks.
