Celebrities Who Are From Non-Filmy Family
It may be said that star kids have a clear chance to show their skills on screen. They are even compared to their legendary parents who have given biggest hits while serving in the industry. Whatever be the comparison, the fact remains that they have a family background that will act as their strength.
It is said that having sources or contacts in the film industry is one of the easiest ways to become a Bollywood actor. This is often misused by many people and they take disadvantage of young talents promising them roles in Bollywood movies. It would be really interesting to know that not many celebrities in Bollywood have a filmy family background.
There are many celebrities who have dreamed of Bollywood and entered the silver screen with their own talent. It is more like a fairy-tale story of a layman who gets fame and popularity on their own. For example, Deepika Padukone is one of the classic examples of the recent times. She has no family background in Bollywood, but the model-turned actress has shown her worth in the industry and given huge hits as well. If we go back in the past, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan are also not from the so called filmy family.
Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena and Karisma Kapoor hail from a strong filmy family, the Kapoors. But, certain leading actors in Bollywood are not from a filmy background. Here is a list of Bollywood celebrities who have made it big without having a filmy family background. Take a look...
