The idea of a star being born in the cosmos, in a corner of one galactic arm, is just bushwa. Nobody becomes a star in this world without hard work; stars are not born, stars are created.
Among the current generation of Konkani stars, the name Agnelo Vailantonio Lobo is quite popular with Goan audiences.
Agnelo Lobo has proved his calibre both in acting and singing performing in tiatrs, musical shows and other events.
Now based in London since 2014, Agnelo accepts any offer and challenge that comes his way. The versatile actor is comfortable playing any part and has taken up various lead roles of hero, villain, and negative characters to date.
Agnelo is also a song composer, and comes out with YouTube videos on various topics now and then; he is very active on social media as well especially in Tiatr Groups.
One of the busiest artistes abroad in terms of acting, singing, YouTube and social involvement, Agnelo’s latest performances have been in Lawry Travasso’s ‘Sopnantlim Fulam’, Com Bryan's ‘Mhoji Khori Maim’ and Simon Gonsalves’ ‘Bank of Love’.
He is happily married to Canditha Jessica Rodrigues; the couple has a daughter named Britney Lobo.
Very passionate about football, Agnelo is often seen on the football field donning his goalkeeper gloves and taking part in various exhibition matches.
