Bollywood's losers: Brother & sister who bombed

Bollywood siblings

Published
By Staff

The glamour world of Bollywood is known for legendary tales of acting blood lines and filmy family backgrounds. The tinsel town has its fair share of siblings who have appeared in the movie industry.

Some Bollywood celebrities have attained stardom very easily.  But  when they bring in their siblings into the industry, many have failed miserably.  Despite all the family push they remain in the shadow of their more popular siblings. Here is a look at some popular stars and their siblings who are still waiting for their hit:

Kajol and Tanisha Mukherjee

Kajol is one of the most successful actresses in Indian cinema. And she is a treat to watch every time she comes on screen. But unfortunately the same cannot be said about her sister. Tanisha seemed drab and lacked the enthusiasm her sister brought on screen. Her every single movie bomb in the box office. Despite being a star sister and daughter of yesteryear actress Tanuja, Tanisha is still looking for her real break.

Shilpa and Shamita Shetty

Shilpa Shetty caught everyone's attention with her very first movie 'Baazigar' opposite Shah Rukh Khan. But she mesmerised audience much later when she showcased her dancing ability and hourglass figure. Shilpa Shetty too had a hard time in the industry but shot to fame after winning International reality show ‘Big Brother’. But her sister Shamita Shetty could not cash in the opportunity after debuting under one of the biggest banner in India, Yash Raj Films. Although her debut multi starrer film 'Mohabbatein' was a hit she could not make her own mark. She appeared in a series of flop movies and also starred along with her sister. She also participated in the Indian version of Big Brother, Bigg Boss, hoping it will lift her career as it did for her sister but even there she failed. But Shamita remained in the shadow of her more popular sister.
 
Sunny and Esha Deol
 
56 years old Sunny Deol has made his mark in the industry long time back. He has series of sensitive and even action films under his belt. Bt he is also known as a very protective brother to Esha Deol and her younger sister. Both Sunny and Esha Deol have had contrasting career graphs. Though Esha looked promising she fizzled out and could not sustain in the much competitive industry. Esha tried her best to live up to mother ‘Dreamgirl’ Hema Malini and father Dharmendra’s reputation. Even her national award winning brother Sunny Deol could not help her.
 

Ekta and Tusshar Kapoor

Producer Ekta Kapoor is among the top ranked producers in B-town. With super hits like ‘The Dirty Picture’ and ‘Once Upon a Time in Mumbai’ she has also made an impact on the Silver Screen. She has been the reigning queen of small screen before venturing into Bollywood. Unfortunately, bother Tusshar Kapoor could not make his mark and failed to appeal the audience. His only credible role has been in the ‘Golmaal’ Series where he acts as a mute person. 'The Dirty Picture' also saw Tussher portraying a weak personality. Even though sister's movie broke all records brother could not make his mark. 

Aamir and Faisal Khan

Bollywood’s Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan is a highly acclaimed star and one of the most admired personalities in the industry. Despite his strong hold in the industry he was unable to help brother Faisal from doom. After being a supporting actor in several films, he finally had a substantial role in ‘Mela’ with brother Aamir in the lead. But in 'Mela' couldn’t bring any joy in his movie career.

Aditya and Uday

Giving hits after hits under the Yash Raj Films banner and guided by father late Yash Chopra, Aaditya is one of the ace filmmakers of Bollywood. Younger brother Uday Chopra assisted Aaditya and father in many films. But when he was elevated to the position of a hero he failed. Despite coming from such a strong background Aditya’s brother Uday Chopra could not charm his audience. The film which gave him some recognition was ‘Dhoom’ and its sequel. But 'Dhoom' is a multi-starrer movie with big star cast and Uday can never be given completely credit for its success.
