Daddies' little superstars

Daddy Kapoor is now delighted to see his cherubic daughter work with the cream of the crop. Even as her Saawariya, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor, is all set to release, Sonam has signed on Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi 6 opposite Abhishek Bachchan.

Clearly, one can expect a lot of promising things from this Rapunzel-haired beauty.

Dharmendra-Esha Deol

Although his debut film Dil Bhi Tere Hum Bhi Tere was a bummer, his talent was widely recognised, even if underrated, over the years with films like Satyakam, Anupma, Seeta Aur Geeta, Sholay, and Chupke Chupke. At 70 plus, the warm actor is still going strong with delectable performances in Apne and Johnny Gaddar.

Daughter Esha, who entered films much to Garam Dharam's resentment, may not have had such luck yet. After being launched into movies with the eminently forgettable Koi Mere Dil Se Pooche, the sporty star kid had a hard time living up to expectations, before she struck gold with hits like Dhoom and Dus. Though with the failure of author-backed roles in Ajnabee and Darling, the Deol girl is still waiting for the second Dhoom of her career.

Rajesh Khanna-Twinkle and Rinkie Khanna

But stories of the mass hysteria that the star of Anand, Amar Prem and Aradhana generated among the dreamy-eyed fairer sex, continue to awe and amaze.

Papa's little girls Twinkle and Rinkie, however, didn't ever experience the level of adulation as their father. While Twinkle enjoyed a big launch opposite Bobby Deol and a brief star-status with films like Jaan, Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai and Baadshah, Rinkie make did with modest appearances in Jhankaar Beats and Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai.

Randhir Kapoor-Karisma Kapur and Kareena Kapoor

The sensitive actress in Lolo got justice, as well, with well-etched roles in Zubeidaa and Fiza. Ditto for Kareena! Right from her sparkling debut in Refugee to the recently released Jab We Met, Bebo has enjoyed a favourable status among fans and filmmakers.
