In this article, we will tell you about 10 Real Life Sisters of Bollywood who have tried their luck in Bollywood? Want to know more, then read on further:
1. Kareena Kapoor Khan and Karisma Kapoor: Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor are undoubtedly the most popular sister jodis in tinsel town. They belong to the most influential Kapoor khandhan. Both of them have been done remarkable work as actresses. Karisma delivered back to back hits in movies like Raja Babu(1994), Coolie No. 1(1995), Raja Hindustani(1998). She is not a part of the silver screen anymore, but her sister continues to be a part of the Bollywood industry. In the present times, Kareena may not have too many hit movies to brag about, but she was quite in fame in the past decade. We can never forget her mind-blowing performance in “Jab We Met”, can we?
2. Shilpa Shetty and Shamita Shetty: Here is an example of two Bollywood divas who are also sisters in real life, but their rate of success in the industry is what makes them different from each other. The gorgeous Shilpa Shetty with her jaw-dropping features and slim silhouette was one of the most popular actresses of her times. She is a globally-acclaimed celebrity who is also a producer, businesswoman and a yoga expert. Though known primarily for her work in Hindi films, she has also appeared in Telugu, Tamil and Kannada language films. Shamita Shetty, on the other hand, could not shine too much in movies, but she is back in limelight through the hit show “Khatron Ke Khiladi.”Even though she had appeared in a number of films post her debut movie “Mohabbatein” in 2000, her acting skills failed to create a charm onscreen. Seeing the rapid drop in her Bolly-career, she decided to try her luck in interior design which was quite a smart move. Her last hit to fame was her her item number “Sharara Sharara.”
3. Amrita Arora and Malaika Arora: Amrita Arora was a prominent actress in the B-town who has worked in many films for over a decade. She made her acting debut in 2002 with the flop movie ‘Kitne door, Kitne Paas.” She had many flop movies in her career and then moved onto supporting roles in mainstream movies like Golmaal and Kambakht. Amrita has moved out of the film industry and has settled down in family life. Her sister ‘Malaika Arora’, may not be a mainstream Bollywood actress but she is a well-known face for starring in item songs in popular Hindi movies. She is also a dancer, model, VJ, television presenter, and a fitness trainer, and also a judge of popular reality shows on Indian television.
