Bollywood has seen numerous star kids trying their luck in the industry, but not all of them have succeeded. While some enjoy the limelight and fame, others struggle to establish themselves despite having strong film industry connections. Here, we take a look at five star kids who couldn’t make it big in Bollywood.
1. Tusshar Kapoor
Bollywood veteran Jeetendra’s son, Tusshar Kapoor, made his debut with Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai in 2001. While the film did well, his career never reached great heights. He tried his luck in various romantic and comedy films, including the Golmaal series, but failed to establish himself as a leading actor.
2. Uday Chopra
Son of legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra, Uday Chopra, started his career with Mohabbatein. Despite his debut in a blockbuster film, he could not make a lasting impact in Bollywood. He appeared in films like Neal ‘n’ Nikki and the Dhoom series, but eventually acknowledged that acting was not his calling.
3. Neil Nitin Mukesh
Grandson of legendary singer Mukesh, actor Neil Nitin Mukesh ventured into Bollywood with Johnny Gaddaar, which received critical acclaim. However, despite appearing in films like New York, Lafangey Parindey, and Saaho, he failed to create a strong foothold as a bankable star. He continues to work in films but is yet to deliver a major blockbuster.
4. Kumar Gaurav
Son of veteran actor Rajendra Kumar, Kumar Gaurav made a dream debut with Love Story in the 90s. The film was a massive success, but unfortunately, he was unable to sustain the momentum. Despite trying his luck in multiple films, he could not achieve the success that his father once had in the industry.
5. Tanishaa Mukerji
Daughter of actress Tanuja and sister of Kajol, Tanishaa Mukerji also pursued a career in Bollywood. Despite having a strong backing, she couldn’t capitalize on the opportunities. She started her career with a horror film and later worked in a handful of movies, but none of them brought her significant recognition. Even with Ajay Devgn as her brother-in-law, she couldn’t secure stardom like her sister.
Conclusion
Being a star kid doesn’t necessarily guarantee success in Bollywood. Even with powerful lineage and strong connections, success ultimately depends on talent, script choices, and audience acceptance. These stars tried hard but failed to leave a lasting mark in the industry.
