Siblings of Bollywood

Article on Bollywood siblings. Takes a look at the siblings who act in movies. IncludesKarisma and Kareena Kapoor, Saif and Soha Ali Khan, Shilpa and Shamita Shetty, Rahul and Akshaye Khanna, Malaika and Amrita Arora, Riya and Raima Sen, Sohail and Salman Khan, Ameesha and Ashmit Patel, Sunny and Bobby Deol and Kajol and Tanisha.

The statement that acting runs in the blood doesn't get further proof than this.

There are numerous stars who hail from the same families. While some siblings make it big in Bollywood, some are just left chasing stardom. Here are 10 siblings who are a part of the Hindi film industry.

Karisma and Kareena Kapoor

From their family heritage, their exotic looks to their link-ups, everything makes news. While one is meek and sensible, the other spits fire everywhere. Both sisters touched mega success in Bollywood with their films with Kareena continuing her golden run in the industry till date.

Kajol and Tanisha

Though these sisters are extremely close to each other, they did not have an even run in Bollywood. Kajolwas a superstar, winning awards every now and then. Tanisha , on the other hand, struggled find success with the limited number of films. Kajol continues creating magic at the box-office while Tanisha seems to have sunk into oblivion.

Sunny and Bobby Deol

The Deol brothers are known for carrying the action-packed legacy of their father ahead. Both the brothers are family oriented and are especially close to their dad. Their popularity amongst fans rise whenever they come together as fans get a double dose of the Deol magic.

Saif and Soha Ali Khan

The brother-sister duo resemble each other a lot in the looks department. Brother Saif's career had a slow rise and he took years to get to the stardom he enjoys today. Soha has also been slow in her career, coming up with substantial roles once in a while.

Rahul and Akshaye Khanna

Vinod Khanna's shy boys are both great actors and light up the screen with their acting skills. Akshaye found commercial success while Rahul began his career with serious cinema. Both the brothers are busy with their careers at present and are expected to bring their charm to their roles.

Ameesha and Ashmit Patel

Both brother and sister did not have a very successful run in Bollywood. However, Ameesha had fairly better career as compared to Ashmit. The siblings had a fall-out which also included their parents but had a re-union and they are happy family now.

Arbaaz, Sohail and Salman Khan

The lesser said about the three Khan brothers, the better. Salman, being the eldest, showers his love on his younger brothers. From acting in their films to promoting them whichever way he can, Salman does it all to keep his siblings happy.

Malaika and Amrita Arora

The Arora sisters are famous in tinseltown for oozing glamour and hotness everywhere they go. Both sisters were VJs before turning towards Bollywood. Today, they're both mothers but still manage to keep the temperatures soaring with their amazing sex-appeal.

Shilpa and Shamita Shetty

Shilpa and Shamita Shetty are another pair of close siblings who are seen together most of the times. Shilpa's career, as we all know, plummeted post her 'Big Brother' stint. Shamita Shetty, on the other hand could never taste success as most of her films flopped. This does not affect the bond that these two share and are still very much dependent on each other.

Riya and Raima Sen

The Bong babes make more news for their sisterly affection than the work they do. In fact, the two are so similar looking that they could pass off for twins. Riya is the typical glamour doll, while older sis Raima continues to grab attention with her stellar performances in meaningful films.

Break-Ups and Hook-Ups have been very much a part ofBollywood since a very long time.

Bollywood celebs are no less than their Hollywood counterparts when it comes to relationships. From the likes of Raj Kapoor to the latest John Abraham, none of them could successfully retain their much talked about romance. We cast a glance down memory lane and bring out the Top 10 break-ups of the decade.

1. Shahid Kapur and Kareena Kapoor

The pair were inseparable since they started seeing each other. However, their love could not stand the test of time and after 3 years of dating Kareena decided to move on with the suave Saif Ali Khan. Shahid Kapoor was left heart broken at the failed relationship while Kareena happily carried on with her new love life.

2. Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai

Theirs was a kind of story that makes fairy tales, only that it didn't have a happy ending. Salman and Ash's relationship had a turbulent end with the actress accusing Salman of physically and mentally harassing her. After the much controversial break-up, the two have moved on to other alternatives.

3. Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone

Who would wonder what happened after Deepika's rant on the talk show 'Koffee With Karan'. Ranbir's infidelity, which did not go down well with Deepika, brought the curtains down on their glamorous pairing. Though Deepika has moved on with Siddharth Mallya, she still retains her 'RK' tattoo on her nape.

4. Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh

Saif defied all norms when he got married to Amrita Singh who was 12 years his senior. Sadly Saif could not hold on to his commitment and the couple filed for divorce in 2004. After the divorce Saif went on to date a string of women before settling for Kareena Kapoor.

5. Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan

Karisma Kapoor was introduced as the would-be Bachchan bahu on the occasion of Sr. Bachchan's 60th birthday. In a sudden turn of events, their engagement was called off with most of the blame being put on Mommy Bachchan. Karisma hastily got married to industrialist Sanjay Kapoor while Abhishek is today happily married to Aishwarya Rai.

6. Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia

Preity and Ness were very much a couple in love which was up for everyone to see. They seemed perfectly in sync with each other until they called off their relationship. No one knows why one of the most good looking couples on the list parted ways but what we do know is that it was heart -breaking to see them take such a step.

7. Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan

Salman Khan brought his blue-eyed girl into the industry and made sure he did everything in his power to make her an established star. Katrina too remained loyal to him until Ranbir Kapoor came and knocked her off his charm. According to reports, the two still wish each other well in life irrespective of choosing to go in different directions.

8. Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta

The original chocolate boy got married to his childhood sweetheart in the early years of his career. Despite his super success, Aamir stood by his marriage for 15 long years. The couple divorced in 2002 and Aamir married the much younger Kiran Rao in 2005.

9. Lara Dutta and Kelly Dorjee

This was another beautiful relationship that failed the test of time. Lara and Kelly were always very vocal about their love for each other. The starry romance saw a bitter end with Kelly holding his best friend Dino Morea responsible for the split. The end was controversial but the two must have found peace now as Lara is happily married to Mahesh Bhupathi.

10. Bipasha Basu and John Abraham

This is probably the biggest split of recent times. After 10 years of being together, the duo have called it quits. Though neither of the two have accepted their break-up publicly, they have been dropping hints suggesting their single status. If reports are to be believed, the couple split due to disagreement over marriage. Well, we just hope that the two get back together as the 'moving on' bug has not seemed to catch on with them.

Genelia is more than just a cute face

'I like to challenge the space I’m in'

She is a star in five film industries around India, but still likes to walk to her local church. A blend of demure and daredevil, the actress reveals the adventure lover behind the glam girl.

Standing in the door of a plane, strapped in with a skydiving jump-master, waiting to fall from over 15,000 feet with clenched eyes and white knuckles – that was not Genelia D’Souza. When Genelia went skydiving, she jumped with absolutely no hesitation, her eyes wide open, taking in the sights. And as soon as she touched the ground, she went back up to do it again. This was in New Zealand, and it wasn’t a film stunt. It’s just Genelia’s idea of fun. Like shark-cage diving in South Africa.

In Bollywood, Genelia is the quintessential girl-next-door. In real life, she is the good, church-going damsel who was born and brought up in Bandra, one of Mumbai’s most affluent suburbs. She doesn’t figure in the gossip columns; she’s adored within the neighbourhood Catholic community; and she calls herself “God’s favourite child”.

Her approach to her film career is perhaps as it would have been had she taken up any other profession. She entered the industry by chance when the creative head of an advertising agency spotted her at a family wedding and cast her in a Parker Pen commercial. But since then, she’s doggedly tried to find a place for herself, not hankering only after the Bollywood brand of glamour.

This 25-year-old has spent eight years trying to establish herself in five film industries and has succeeded in most. The impression that dedication and single-minded focus have got her where she is, is reinforced when she says, “I don’t think like someone who set out to be an actor. I’ve learnt it all on the way. I’ve learnt to love my role, my profession and this industry as I’ve gone along. I’ve had my highs and my lows, but it’s all worth it.”

On still being best known as Aditi from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, she says, “It’s a good feeling that they remember my character. I’ve attempted different things since then and I’ve definitely taken the longer route to success. But it has defined me as a person, a character, and an individual. I’d rather be like a book that you keep with you rather than a page that you turn. Fame is like the icing on the cake, but the cake is pretty good, too.”

Despite being a recognisable face, Genelia likes to walk around her neighbourhood – the church, the corner shop, the local cafe. “Everyone around here knows my house. That’s the beauty of my Catholic community, which is small and sweet and all around me. Half the time, I’m someone’s neighbour or friend. They like to refer to me as their Bandra girl. It’s very cute that some of them are so proud of me even without knowing me,” she exclaims. “When I visited my college (St. Andrews) recently, it was different meeting all my old teachers. As a student, I was in awe of them, and it was so funny that they all gave me so much attention now. I see and appreciate the love in all of this.”

Even while Genelia juggles multilingual screen avatars, she says that if she hadn’t become an actress, she would’ve used her business management degree to work in a corporate house. Would she have been a success? “I don’t know if I’m intelligent, I think I am. One thing is certain: I would’ve been @#$% good at my job.”
