Feature: Star Sisters fight it out in Bollywood!

Time and again, star sisters have been eventually falling prey to the glamorous world of cinema, watching their sibling working wonders on the silver screen. Some have made it big or lagged and someone also go beyond what their sisters could have imagined. With Ayesha Takia’s sister Natasha Takia at a threshold of a glam career in tinsel town, we go back to past and list down some beautiful star sisters who stepped into elder one’s shoes.

Karishma and Kareena Kapoor: Prithvi Raj Kapoor would have been shell shocked to see Kapoor khandan ki betiyan flaunting their size zero in bikinis on the big screen. Karishma was the undisputed queen of the 90’s and early 2000 with films like Zubeidaa, Dil Toh Pagal Hai, Fiza and Raja Hindustani, which also celebrate her innings in industry. The legacy of Kapoors’ to outshine continued with Kareena who is currently one of the highly paid actresses. She played her actor-prowess with her debut venture, but her career graph has recently taken a boost with films like Jab We Met and Kambakkht Ishq.

Shilpa and Shamita Shetty: There is something magical about the Shetty sisters. Both Shilpa and Shamita carry loads of oomph factor with grace. Shilpa’s career sprang up with the ‘Big Brother’ and then there was no looking back. Shamita too is making her presence felt, and doesn’t let herself go off the mind of her audience. Well, looking at Shilpa’s career, little sister seems to believe in the proverb ‘Slow and steady wins the race’. What say Shamita?

Kajol and Tanisha Mukherjee: It does not seem to be working for Tanisha. She is lagging far behind what her sister has achieved so far. Yes, ever-beautiful Kajol Mukherjee still makes many a hearts go flutter for her well-defined features. One of the most celebrated actresses till date, Kajol has very few films to her credit, but has come up with box-office success every time. Looking at the success parameter of elder sister, Tanisha too stepped into B-town. However, things did not prove fruitful with her. In fact, what compounded to her misery were the evident comparisons with her sister and mother, which she had to face, plus the brutal comparison with her sister somehow snubbed her chances.

Amrita and Malaika Arora: Sexy-siren Malaika still looks jaw dropping hot with her ever-toned body. Malaika has no qualms to be titled item girl, which is something she graciously lives up to. Although, her sister Amrita has jumped into the serious business of acting, she is yet to make a mark for herself. However, one thing that makes the Arora sisters’ a league apart is their confidence to move on in the industry despite being married, as they say female-actors have less scope once they enter the world of marriage.
