Bollywood bachchas who couldn't make it big!
These ‘struggling’ actors tried to do heir best, but couldn’t salvage their big, Bollywood dream. While their elder siblings ruled the roost, these guys failed to make their mark on the Bollywood circuit.
After a few unsuccessful tries they have been regaled to the sidelines. While some have switched to production and direction,others have just gone off the radar.
Sanjay Kapoor: While brother Anil Kapoor made his presence felt on the desi as well as videshi turf, Sanjay Kapoor couldn’t join the success trail.

The actor worked with some of Bollywood’s most popular actresses like Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla, but even that didn’t couldn’t ensure him a long innings in Bollywood.
Faisal Khan: Aamir Khan has ruled Bollywood for so many years and may be among the most influential people in the film industry, but he could do little to help his brother Faisal find a foothold in the industry. After making his debut in Vikram Bhatt’s Madhosh, and Mela with Aamir, Faisal was nowhere to be seen on the filmi map.
Arbaaz Khan: While Salman Khan was loved by all as the romantic lead, Arbaaz chose to do things differently. He made his debut in a villainous role opposite Juhi Chawla in Daraar. Many predicted that he would go on to be the next big villain, but unfortunately that wasn’t to be. However, with Dabangg the actor has begun his innings as a producer on a successful note.
Sohail Khan: If Arbaaz Khan chose to play a baddie in his debut film, Sohail began his B-Town journey as a director with Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya, which was a huge hit. That was followed by Hello Brother that tanked at the box office. Sohail then made his debut as an actor opposite Sameera Reddy in Maine Dil Tujhko Diya, which failed poorly at the box office. Sohail has been part of the production circuit and has been seen alongside brother Salman in movies like Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya and Main Aur Mrs Khanna.
Tanishaa: With a powerhouse performer like Kajol, it was natural that people expected a lot from Tanishaa. Her debut with Sssshhh..., a horror film, that gave the filmmakers quite a scare. A few years later, Tanishaa gave Bollywood another shot. This time she lost a lot of weight and looked super hot in skimpy clothes in Neil Aur Nikki. But stardom evaded her once more.
