In Bollywood, many actors, producers, and directors’ children have tried their luck in the industry to carve out their own identity but couldn’t achieve success like their fathers. Several of these actors struggled to establish themselves in Bollywood despite being star kids. Let’s take a look at some such stars.
Jackky Bhagnani: The first name on this list is the son of industry veteran producer Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani. Jackky started his career in 2009 with ‘Kal Kissne Dekha’, which failed to impress. In 2011, he played a lead role in Remo D’Souza’s directorial debut ‘F.A.L.T.U’, which was moderately successful. Following this, Jackky appeared in seven films including ‘Ajab Gazabb Love’ and ‘Youngistaan’, but none of them made a significant impact at the box office, leading Jackky to step away from acting.
Tusshar Kapoor: The son of Hindi cinema superstar Jeetendra, Tusshar Kapoor’s acting career didn’t soar much. Although he appeared in many hit films like the ‘Golmaal’ series, ‘Khakee’, and ‘Shootout at Wadala’, all of these were multi-starrer films. His debut film was ‘Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai’ alongside Kareena Kapoor. Despite acting in over 30 films, Tusshar’s career as a lead actor didn’t shine much, and currently, he’s not active in acting.
Adhyayan Suman: Another actor on this list is Adhyayan Suman, the son of actor Shekhar Suman. Adhyayan began his career in 2008 with ‘Haal-e-Dil’. While he was seen as a rising star in the industry after this film, his subsequent movies turned out to be flops. Despite acting in over 12 films and appearing in several web series, Adhyayan couldn’t establish himself in the industry.
Mahakshay Chakraborty: The son of superstar Mithun Chakraborty, Mahakshay’s career also faced setbacks. He debuted in 2008 with ‘Jimmy’, which failed at the box office. After that, he appeared in India’s first 3D film ‘Haunted’, but despite acting in 13 consecutive films, he couldn’t make a mark in Bollywood.
