BollyDNA: Daughters & Sisters

Narmadaa Ahuja, Natasha Takia, Priyamini

For decades now we have seen Bollywood daughters following the trail set abalze by their parents or grandparents into the fine art of acting. Like Kajol (following mother Tanuja and GrandMother) , recently Sonam Kapoor (following Father Anil Kapoor) and Shruti Hassan (Sarika & Kamal Hassan's daugther)

Tinsel town known no sibling rivalry with numerous sisters following thier older siblings footsteps. Lets have a look:


Successful: Kareena Kapoor (Karishma Kapoor's sister)
Not-so Successful: Tanisha (Kajol's sister), Shamita Shetty (Shilpa Shetty's sis), Rinki Khanna (Twinkle Khanna's sister)

Yep the scale is tiletd, so far there have been very few who have achieved the same success as did thier siblings. However it is interesting to note that most often the sister's enter Bollywood only after thier older sibling has married, faded out, so it a case of passing on the torch before a quiet exit? the one exception to this is ofcourse the Shetty sisters - where Shilpa & Shamita acted together in Fareb.

In 2010 - Bollywood is getting ready to welcome 3 new faces who shall carry on the legacy.
Narmadaa Ahuja (Govinda's daughter)
Natasha Takia( Ayesha Takia's sister)
Priyamini (Vidya Balan's cuz) - she is already an established actress down south and is ready to make her debut as "Suparnkha" in Mani Ratnam's "Ravanaa"

Lets wish them all the success!
