Plenty of celebs in India and abroad have launched own brands, books, orgs, clothing line, personal care products, decor, design stuff, handicrafts etc.
What brands and services launched by any celeb are actually good, worth it, have good quality and celeb seemed to have put serious effort on the product/service?
Some are forgotten or closed or non serious. I mean I do not know what happened to Rhea and Sonam Kapoor's fashion brand Rheson now. Their products are not available online anymore.
I am not clear if Anushka's clothing line Nush is still there or Deepika's All about You collection still sells on Myntra or Jabong. I do not know if Salman's hygiene products like Frsh hand sanitiser still sell online or not. He had launched sanitisers and personal care products during lockdown.
I have had cousins who bought Being Human products couple of years ago, and they felt quality was good but products were over priced for middle class pockets.
What are reviews or feedback of design businesses of Twinkle Khanna, Gauri Khan, Maheep, Malaika, Tanya Deol, Neelam, Suzanne, Riddhima Kapoor, Shweta Bachchan etc?
And books written or co written or ghost written by Kareena, PC? Kareena had books on diet and pregnancy, no? I am aware Twinkle's books sold well and columns found success. I am not sure if Shweta Bachchan's books and columns succeeded.
I read Dimple Kapadia's candle business and Waheeda Rahman's cereal brand succeeded in 80s and 90s. Any other examples?
What has been feedback and reception of books by Lisa Ray, Manisha Koirala on surviving cancer? Are they good? Or books by Anupam Kher? Or autobiographies like ones by Amrish Puri and Rishi Kapoor?
What are eateries owned by celebs like? I had heard Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Asha Bhosle, Sunil Shetty had own restaurants. How did they fare? So far I have only heard Asha's restaurant winning awards abroad.
Have these been PR and marketing gimmicks or did celeb ventures in any field (books, YouTube channels, blogs, salons, design business, jewellery etc) indeed succeed or were good quality?
Did Madhuri and her husband's YouTube and Insta channels succeed? Did her dance class app succeed? Is Shilpa Shetty's YouTube channel popular? Her yoga videos are a hit though.
I am curious about non cinems related ventures of celebs, and whether they were indeed worth it or not. (Not asking about their production house or studios).
