Bollywood’s leading father-daughter duos

For an actor, it’s tough to find his/her own feet in the entertainment industry unless they come with a famous last name. Having said that, it isn’t easy either for the star kids, for they have to live up to the expectations and not ruin their family names.

It’s not uncommon for kids to follow in the footsteps of their parents, and in Bollywood as well, things aren’t really different. Some of B’wood’s popular actresses have already done themselves proud by creating a niche for themselves, stepping out of the shadow of their famous dads.

Sonam Kapoor, Anil Kapoor’s daughter is riding the crest of a wave after receiving positive responses for her impressive portrayal of Neerja Bhanot – the young purser who sacrificed her life while saving the lives of the passengers in the ill-fated Pan Am 73 flight hijacked by Abu Nidal terrorists in 1986 – in Ram Madhvani’s movie Neerja.

Another name worth mentioning is Sonakshi Sinha. The 28-year-old actor is not just known for her acting prowess, but also for her bold social/political statements; she is unfazed by the trolls directed at her, and doesn’t shy away from exposing the ones who attack her with mean comments.
