Meet the star-kids who left glitzy world of Bollywood after giving back to back flops.
The hue and cry about nepotism in Indian cinema may never die down but that certainly doesn’t take away from the fact that star kids in Bollywood have also failed too. While several star-kids have followed their celebrity parents into the world of glitz and glamour and got opportunities more easily as compared to the rest of the ton, only a few have been gracious enough to bow out after the audience refused to accept them.
The name and backing of a celebrity parent can only get you an easy entry into Bollywood but to survive in the film industry audience is god. Instead of choosing to make headlines by banking on their once popular star kid status these actors ended their Bollywood careers with grace instead of choosing to be called out for their lack of acting talent.r
