If you remember the 1988 film Biwi Ho To Aisi, you will surely recall the young actress who takes a bullet for Salman Khan in the climax, Renu Arya. She was Salman’s first on-screen heroine, and their pairing received a warm response from the audience. Yet, just as her career began, she quietly stepped away from the industry and faded from public memory.
For years, no one knew where she lived, what she was doing, or why she left films so abruptly.
Why did Renu Arya leave films?
Renu entered movies with Biwi Ho To Aisi and went on to act in a few more titles, including Banjaran and Chandni. But by the mid-90s, she stepped away completely. She never publicly spoke about quitting, and there was no official statement from her end.
According to what could be traced now, Renu simply chose a quieter life over the chaos of showbiz.
What is Renu Arya doing now?
An inquiry by Navbharat Times revealed that Renu is now a homemaker. After getting married, she decided to focus on her family, leaving the industry behind. She has two daughters, Saloni and Diya, and she now goes by the name Renu Singh.
Where does she live today?
Information from her Facebook profile shows that Renu has been living in Noida for several years. One of her daughters works at a marketing firm in Gurugram. Her life today is simple, domestic, and far removed from the glamour she once brushed shoulders with.
Nearly 29 years away from films has completely transformed her appearance and lifestyle. She no longer keeps any public connection with Bollywood, and her social media presence is minimal.
Did you know she worked with Sridevi and Rishi Kapoor, too?
Apart from Salman, Renu also acted with Rishi Kapoor and Sridevi. In Banjaran, she played Rishi Kapoor’s girlfriend, a role many fans still remember her for.
Interestingly, Salman himself once admitted he had no idea where Renu went after leaving films. In an interview, he said he once ran into her on a flight but did not recognise her at all.
