Some say star kids in Indian cinema industry are born with a silver spoon. Thus, they made the cut. While others believe it is due to the respect earned by their star parents that celeb children have it easy in the industry. Unfortunately, that is not true. Apart from coming from a ‘filmy’ background, one needs to have the talent, dedication, and luck to make it large. There have been many instances where in spite of being given stellar and spectacular launch vehicles, celeb kids did not survive for too long in the film industry. For those who did, they have grown into the masses and classes favorite, sweeping away awards, having millions of fan following, and a string of hit films to their credit.
