If nepotism actually exists, then where are these actors now?

Uday Chopra

Uday Chopra did a few films under his father Yash Chopra’s banner YRF. But then, after a bad run at the box office, he stopped acting. Now we only get to see him occasionally in ‘Dhoom’ series, but that’s the only role he can do well.

Esha Deol

Can you remember any movie starring Esha Deol without searching it on Google? Well, the actress didn’t even receive half the stardom of what her father and her mother had. Nowadays, she is in the news for being pregnant.

Tanishaa Mukerji

Apart from her stint in ‘Bigg Boss’, we don’t really remember what Tanishaa Mukerji has done in her life. Oh ya, she was there in ‘Neal N Nikki’ with Uday Chopra.

Imran Khan

After making a great debut with ‘Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na’, Imran Khan just faded away. He was said to be a competitor of Ranbir Kapoor, but the ‘Barfi!’ actor surely went ahead of Imran, by miles.

Fardeen Khan

Fardeen Khan too did a few films, but his not-so-great acting skills made him vanish from the film industry, soon after.

Zayed Khan

Like his cousin brother Fardeen Khan, Zayed Khan too failed to make a mark in the industry, even though he was a part of blockbuster like 'Main Hoon Na', sharing screen space with Shah Rukh Khan himself.

Harman Baweja

Harman Baweja, son of filmmaker Harry Baweja starred in four films, and all were flop. Well, he too has vanished from the film industry.

Luv Sinha

Sonakshi Sinha and her brother Luv Sinha, both started their careers in 2010. Yes, please don’t be shocked to read this. Luv Sinha had done a film titled ‘Sadiyaan’ in 2010 which also starred Hema Malini, Rekha and Rishi Kapoor. Sadly, name can only take you so far. The movie bombed, and so did Luv's career.

Shamita Shetty

Shilpa Shetty’s sister Shamita Shetty made her debut with YRF’s ‘Mohabbatein’. But, apart from doing a few item numbers in some movies, she was hardly seen in any film. And right now, we don’t even know what she is doing.

Faisal Khan

Aamir Khan’s brother Faisal Khan failed to create an impact. Being Aamir’s brother no one actually supported him much and he was never part of a film that was produced by a big banner.

All thanks to Kangana Ranaut, everyone has been talking about the word ‘nepotism’. While some say it exists in the industry, some say it doesn’t. While we have actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma, Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra etc. making it big in Bollywood without any filmy background, there are many actors who are being targeted for being present in the industry because of their parents’ name. However, we feel that star kids or star siblings might be getting their first film easily, but then it is all about the talent.

‘Eat Sleep Bollywood Repeat’ is his life Mantra. Dance is his first love and Rani Mukerji is his eternal crush. He is someone who loves being himself, and as for the ones who don’t agree, his reply? “Talk to my hand!”
