Top 10 Bollywood Actors Who Are Nowhere Near Their Parents In Acting

While everyone believes that working in the Hindi film industry is a cake walk for a star kid, I am sure after taking a look at this article you will find this notion to be false. In spite of having the genes of the stars that can make you, laugh and cry with their acting, their kids failed to succeed in Bollywood. Despite having a family member who is prominent in the industry, they are unable to impress the audience and critics much. They struggle to be recognized in the Bollywood industry. While the parents had a fan following across the globe, their kids lacked the attention of the public.
