Where are these stars?
The path to stardom is paved with uncertainty. Even those with dream debuts have to still try hard to maintain their place in Bollywood. And while some manage with aplomb, there are many who seem to have fallen behind. We take a look at some stars who are slowly fading into oblivion.
Where are these stars? : Sunny Deol
Sunny Deol
Last film: Apne, in 2007, with his brother Bobby Deol and their father Dharmendra.
Claim to fame: When he began his career in Bollywood, it was his father's name that backed him. His defining moment as an actor came with his home production Ghayal (1990), for which he won the National Award for best actor (special jury award).
Upcoming projects: He is directing and acting in the The Man.
Where are these stars? : Amisha Patel
Amisha Patel
Last film: Bhool Bhulaiyaa was her last film, which released way back in 2007. In spite of debuting with the super hit Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai in 2000, Amisha has not been able to make it big in Bollywood.
Claim to fame: In July 2004, Amisha sent a legal notice to her father Amit Patel for mismanaging her accounts and assets amounting to Rs 120 million and demanded the money back. She dated director Vikram Bhatt for five years and they broke up in 2008.
Upcoming projects: Patel will be seen in two comic films, Run Bhola Run and Chatur Singh Two Star, both of which are scheduled to release in the summer of this year. Patel has also signed a three-film deal with Yash Raj Films; one of them will be directed by Shaad Ali.
Where are these stars? : Esha Deol
Esha Deol
Last film: Hijack, which released last year, ended up more like a suicide mission at the box office.
Claim to fame: She is the daughter of superstar Dharmendra and dream girl Hema Malini. Still in search of fame, Esha has failed to be recognised even after doing a bikini scene in the super hit Dhoom (2004).
Upcoming projects: She is set to star in her mother's next directorial venture with Rekha and Abhishek Bachchan. There is also a film in which Esha and her mother will be starring together for the first time. She'll be seen next in Raftaar 24x7 this year.
Where are these stars? : Jiah Khan
Jiah Khan
Last film: She made headlines as Amitabh Bachchan's love interest in the controversial film Nishabd in 2007. Last year (2008), Jiah had a small role in Aamir Khan's blockbuster Ghajini.
Claim to fame: She's still waiting for it. When she made her debut in Nishabd, she was noted for her confidence, attitude and sex appeal. Unfortunately, her performance after that got mixed reviews from critics.
Upcoming projects: Her next movie is Ken Ghosh's Yahoo starring Shahid Kapoor. Jiah she plays a dance teacher. Jiah will also be seen in Sajid Khan's Houseful, which also stars Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone and Ritesh Deshmukh.
Where are these stars? : Upen Patel
Upen Patel
Last film: Money Hai To Honey Hai (2008) made no money at the box office.
Claim to fame: He was an established model before he set foot in the film industry but unfortunately, he has had no luck with movies so far. In 2006, he made his Bollywood debut in the murder mystery 36 China Town, in which he played a Casanova type character.
Upcoming projects: His future projects include a cameo in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and his first solo film Hum Aap Aur Pyaar.
Where are these stars? : Kajol
Kajol
Last film: Her last film was U, Me Aur Hum in 2008 though she has not worked as a full time actress since marrying Ajay Devgan in 1999. She made a comeback with Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham in 2001 and then, after a five year gap, starred in Fanna in 2006. Her performance in Fanna also won her the Best Actress Award at Filmfare.
Claim to fame: Kajol, who is of Bengali-Marathi descent, belongs to a family tree with a long, respectable history in Indian cinema. Her mother Tanuja is a renowned actress, whilst her late father Shomu Mukherjee was a film producer. Her late maternal aunt, Nutan, is the record holder for the most Filmfare Awards for Best Actress with five awards to her name. Kajol herself has won the Filmfare Best Actress Award four times.
Upcoming projects: Kajol is currently working on Karan Johar's new movie My Name Is Khan, which is based on a true story. The film focuses on people's perceptions of Islam post September 11. It will release by the end of 2009.
Where are these stars? : Madhuri Dixit
Madhuri Dixit
Last film: Her last film was Aaja Nachle (2007). Before that, she starred in Devdas in 2002. She won the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award for her portrayal of Chandramukhi in the film directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. In 1999, she married Sriram Madhav Nene, an Indian doctor who resides in USA.
Claim to fame: She shot to stardom with her item number Ek Do Teen in Tezaab (1988), which is popular till today. She received the Padma Shri in 2008, India's fourth highest civilian award by Government of India.
Upcoming projects: She has none as of now.
Where are these stars? : Sridevi
Sridevi
Last film: Her last film was Judaai (1997) with her brother-in-law Anil Kapoor. After that, the actress has kept out of the limelight.
Claim to fame: Sridevi believes in living large and doing things her own way. That is why, at the peak of her career in 1996, she chose to wed the much-married Boney Kapoor.
Upcoming projects: Rumours of her making her comeback in a film produced by husband Boney Kapoor were doing the rounds though it is still not certain whether they will hold true.

exactly.. they have chosen something that makes them more happy.. family is very important, and they don't need movies or hits or anything for them to prove their mettle..!!
even Sunny has his share of fame.. so it's okay if he does or doesn't do any movies.. he had some great movies earlier on, but looks kinda old now.. 😳
as for Amisha, Esha, Jiah and Upen.. i don't know if superstars is the right term... 😉😆😆 they have lots more to prove..

Amisha & Esha in the same list with Kajol, Mads & Sri? Is this a joke?

The real superstars (Kajol,Mad&Sri) retired to family life gracefully.......Amisha & Esha have yet to prove they are decent actresses
