Each year Bollywood sees people knocking its doors with dreams to make a mark and become a name to reckon with in tinselville. While some of these non-entities grow up to become great stars, there are some who get noticed but are soon forgotten.
Here is profiling some of the wannabe stars who came, enjoyed their few glory days as the naya sitara for their acts in their very first films, but couldn't sustain in the competition and challenge that B-town has to offer.
This is definitely a clear example of bad luck, because Gracy Singh who has been the lead of two historical movies of Bollywood, Lagaan and Munnabhai MBBS, could never make a place for herself amongst the hot sirens of tinselville.
Simple and very Indian in her appearance one could think that Gracy Singh would have worked wonders if she debuted a few decades ago
Chitrangada Singh ,who debuted in Sudhir Mishra's Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi was never able to firmly place her feet in tinsel town.
The movie was critically acclaimed and did help the careers of most people associated with the movie, but could not help this young and pretty actress anyway.
It is not everyday that a debutant gets lucky to star with King Khan in a critically acclaimed movie and then disappears into anonymity.
Gayatri Joshi the lead in Swades, could never make her presence felt opposite the magnanimous personality of Shahrukh Khan and her name would be synonym as a one movie wonder in the history of Bollywood.
This light eyed beauty looked fresh as a daisy amidst her other counterparts. The innocent looking Mayuri Kango made her debut in Papa Kehte Hain
But Mayuri's acting skills and dialogue delivery was a complete turn off and her Bollywood career never really took off.
A cute and fresh face, Sandhali Sinha made her debut against Rakesh Bapat and Priyanshu Chatterjee in Tum Bin, probably her only film in the lead. The music of the flick went on to make record sales and the film was a runaway hit too but did not help the careers of any of the leading actors in anyway.
Though the central character of the movie was Sandhali and her work was appreciated, she never starred in any other movie after that in the lead role.
She made her debut against the sexiest Khan of Bollywood… Salman under Rajshree productions and the film went on to become the highest grosser after Sholay, however destiny had other plans for Bhagyashree.
She was flooded with offers but Bhagyashree who tied the knot with Himalaya soon after the release of Maine Pyar Kiya refused to star against anyone else but hubby Himalaya, which proved fatal for her career that could have been enterprising otherwise.
This face can stop a crowd, claimed the promos of Mahesh Bhatt's Aashiqui
The film did well and the music was a massive hit, however luck did not favour the long legged beauty who could have easily gone on to become the next dusky sexy siren after Smita Patil.
]One cannot miss out on the woman in a white sari sans the bra from the hit movie Ram Teri Ganga Maili, Mandakini….
One never saw her again in any big banners after working with the RK Banner, except for a few B-grade movies, she will still be remembered for her dare bare act under the waterfall.
