These actresses may play fiercely independent characters on screen but they would not have reached so far had it no been for their mother's (or father's) guidance and business skills. Here are the actresses who think family members make the best business managers.
Ayesha Takia: Ayesha's mom Farida is not only her best friend but also manages her career - from fixing interview appointments to the movies Ayesha chooses, her mom supervises it all.
Genelia D'Souza: Newcomer Genelia D'Souza is all set to shine in Jaane Tu Yaa Jaane Na and Mere Baap Pehle Aap. Her mom is her business manager who answers the phone, fixes appointments and accompanies her on shoots. Needles to say, like Ayesha's mom, she is very protective of her young daughter and also decides what the actress will talk about.
Shamita and Shilpa Shetty: The daughters may have dates now, but even then Shamita, Shilpa and a beaming mom Sunanda are quite a trio attending award functions, premieres and launches together.
Priyanka Chopra: She may have Harman as her date now, but Priyanka is quite a Daddy's girl. Her father, Ashok Chopra always accompanies her to various events and guides her through her tough career. Priyanka says the two are eerily similar and calls her father her twin! Recently, Mr Chopra also spoke to the media about his approval of the Priyanka-Harman relationship. Priyanka's singing talent seems to have come from her father and now she will help him launch his debut music album.
Isha Sharwani: Isha has been dancing even before she could walk, under the tutelage of her danseuse mother Daksha Seth. Her mother supervised her performance on the sets of Kisna and doubled as a business manager as well to make sure her daughter did not make wrong choices in the big bad world of Bollywood. Isha manages her mom's dance school AARTI in Kerala and accompanies her around the world for stage performances.
