Just like Hema Malini, Tanuja also left a mark in the industry in the 70s and 80s. While her daughter Kajol became a star, Tanuja’s younger daughter Tanishaa failed to make a mark in the industry.

Soha Ali Khan has done some good projects, but she didn’t get the fame that her mother Sharmila Tagore had. The veteran actress recently made a comeback and once again impressed one and all.

Dimple Kapadia-Twinkle Khanna-Rinke Khanna

[[{"fid":"17561359","view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false},"type":"media","field_deltas":{"4":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false}},"attributes":{"class":"media-element file-default","data-delta":"4"}}]]

When Twinkle made her debut with Barsaat, everyone thought that she is the next big thing in Bollywood. However, she starred in many flops and after trying her luck for six years in the industry, she decided to quit acting. Rinke Khanna too tried her luck in the industry but failed to make a mark.

Salma Agha-Zahrah S Khan

[[{"fid":"17561369","view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false},"type":"media","field_deltas":{"5":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false}},"attributes":{"class":"media-element file-default","data-delta":"5"}}]]

Salma Agha was a well-known actress and her film Nikah is still remembered by one and all. Her daughter Zahrah S Khan made her debut opposite Arjun Kapoor in Aurangzeb. But, after that we didn’t get to see her in any movie. She is now ready for a second innings in the industry, so let’s see if she gets the fame like her mother or not.
