Bollywood is considered to be one big family. Several artists come together to collaborate and create beautiful things that render amazing experiences. However, keeping the collaborative practice aside, there are some relations in
Bollywood that find their roots in the bloodline but, not much is known about such relations or people know about them at just the periphery.
