Bollywood , the biggest movie making industry in the world , in terms of movie it releases every year has tradition of sons of yesterday's superstar taking their father's , grandfather's profession ahead by entering it.

Randhir , rishi kapoor , kumar gaurav , sanjay dutt, sunny deol , boby deol , hrithik roshan , abhishek bachchan , the list goes on. Likes of aamir khan , farhan akhtar , salman khan too have had family who were in bollywood.

Not many stars were happy to see their daughters being part of showbiz though. But trend saw change in 1990s and now many superstars of yesterday have their daughters trying to make their mark in industry as actress.

All three sons of prithvi became big stars in bollywood. Rajkapoor , the eldest son of prithviraj went on to become legend while shashi and shammi were big stars in their own right. Raj's son too tried in bollywood but among them only rishikapoor had a successful career as actor.Randhir kapoor was promising star but soon faded away. Karishma and Kareena are daughter of randhir kapoor and babita (who herself was heroine).

While kareena is among top five actresses of current times , her elder sister too was big star not many year back.
