Wedding happened in 1999 when Warsi and video jockey Maria Goretti met
and promised not to part forever. They have a son Zeke in 2004 and a
daughter Zene Zoe in 2007.
Arshad Warsi sure is among the lucky few who has the uncanny knack of
making people laugh their guts out.

Arshad Warsi is a great person, clean-hearted common man and with no
tantrums and simplicity. Unassuming and friendly, the actor seems a
great person to hang with. Who can forget his impeccable portrayal of
“Circuit” in the famous Munnabhai series or his goofy act in Golmaal
or more recently his role as the lovable Adi in the mad-cap comedy
Dhamaal.The sequel Lage Raho Munnabhai (2006) won him the Filmfare
Best Comedian Award.

Funny man Arshad Warsi has come a long way since his days as a
choreographer. He was associated with English Theatre Group in Mumbai.
He got his first offer to act in Amitabh Bachchan’s first production
Tere Mere Sapne in 1996. ‘Hogi Pyar Ki Jeet’ came as somewhat of a
saving grace. He was noted for his excellent comedy timing, and
despite the heavy presence of Ajay Devgan through out the film,
Arshad’s work was appreciated.

Arshad acted in several other films over the next six years which
failed to do well at the box office till 2003 when he starred in the
comedy film Munnabhai MBBS which was a huge box office success and
gained him much critical acclaim.

His upcoming films are Zamaanat with Amitabh Bacchan and Karishma
Kapoor, Ishiqiya with Vidya Balan and a third installment of Munnabhai
is also in the pipeline.

Sunil Shetty Biography

An actor who completely depends on his director for his performance, Sunil Shetty could have done better in business boardrooms, but anyway, made his B-Town journey with the completely inconsequential films like Balwan, Gaddar or Prithvi.

His beefcake physique and square jawed face made him a director's ideal choice for an action hero, but his expressionless face gave away the ham actor in him. Yet nothing teaches better than experience.

So after a long barren spell at the box office when around 21 out of his 28 films flopped miserably, Shetty finally saved his dwindling career with films like Mohra and Border. Then the resounding success of Priyadarshan's Hera Pheri gave his career a new lease of life while Refugee and Jungle has got him on cloud nine.

One of the promising stars to have hit the silver screen in the last decade Sunil Shetty stays clear of petty politics of the tinsel world and maintains a low profile. For this reason perhaps he has the choicest projects in his kitty despite his innumerable debacles at the box office.

He has changed his name to Suniel Shetty. He often likes to do patriotic roles eg. Border (1997), Qayamat (2003), Mohra (1994)

He is considered a major action star in Indian cinema and his action abilities was the reason for his success. His beloved wife is Manna Shetty and they have two children named Atiya and Aahan. He is a black belt in Full Contact Kick Boxing.
