Mumbai: Every parent wants his/her children to follow in their footsteps and continue the legacy. In the Hindi film industry also there are stars who too wanted their children to be successful, but they failed. So let’s discuss those actors in the film industry who could not as good as their fathers were.
Lucky Ali
Lucky Ali, son of the comedy king of India Mehmood, has been away from the limelight for a long time. Singer and composer Lucky Ali couldn’t even taste success half his legendary father tasted.
His first wife is Meaghan Jane McCleary (a New Zealander), who acted in the video ‘O Sanam’ from his first album ‘Sunoh’. Ali has two children with his first wife – Ta’awwuz and Tasmiyah. His second wife is Inaya (Anahita, a Persian). He has two children with his second wife — Sara and Raiyan. He married a third time in 2010 to a British model and former beauty queen Kate Elizabeth Hallam. The couple has a son named Dani Maqsood Ali.
Armaan Kohli
Director Rajkumar Kohli’s son Armaan Kohli also failed to earn fame like his father. Armaan started his career with the film ‘Badle Ki Aag’ (1982). Then he appeared as lead in his father’s film ‘Virodhi’ (1992) but the film went flat on the box office. He also featured in ‘Dushman Zamana’ (1992), ‘Kohra’(1993).
More than films, Armaan was in limelight due to his rude behaviour. He was also in news for her affair with Tanisha Mukherjee in ‘Bigg Boss Season 7’.
Jackky Bhagnani
Son of filmmaker Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky failed to make any impact in Hindi film industry. In 2009, he made his debut with ‘Kal Kisne Dekha’. Most of his films didn’t perform well at the box office except ‘F.A.L.T.U’ (2011), which also got moderate success.
Adhyayan Suman
Shekhar Suman’s son, Adhyayan also proved to be a flop star. He started his career with the film ‘Haal-e-dil’ in 2008, but disappeared from the industry in no time. However, because of his affair with the Kangana Ranaut, he was making the headlines.
Shadaab Khan
Amjad Khan’s son, Shadaab made his debut with the film ‘Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat’ (1997) opposite Rani Mukerji. Shadaab also failed to earn fame like his father. Not only this, Shadaab has changed his look so much, he is hardly recognisable now.
Aarya Babbar
Raj Babbar’s son, Aarya started his career with the 2002 film ‘Ab Ke Baras’. After this, ‘Guru’, ‘Jail’, ‘Tees Maar Khan’, ‘Dangerous Ishq’, ‘Joker’, ‘Bangistan’ appeared in many films, but could not achieve success. Arya also took part in ‘Bigg Boss Season 8’ as a contestant.
