| | | Acting’s not only about glory | | | | In the entertainment business it doesn’t take long to go from high to hai hai.
So many of the mighty have fallen in one blow. Like Kumar Gaurav. He was the first of many star sons to be launched in style. Gaurav started with a bang in Love Story. I still remember the serpentine queues.
In college we had to return thrice from the theatre before getting tickets. Side by side Gaurav’s dad Rajendra Kumar’s colleague Sunil Dutt launched his beta in Rocky. And, that didn’t do so well. But, Sanjay Dutt emerged as one of the hottest stars of the post-Bachchan era. His brother-in-law Gaurav got left behind. Sad.
Sadder still is the way talent in our industry is equated with pedigree. Admittedly not all star-sons become overnight successes. Raj Babbar’s Arya, producers Raj Kumar Kohli and Keshu Ramsay’s Armaan and Aryaman (please don’t miss the similarity in the names) never got beyond the ‘chuck’-post. But, if you are from a film family, opportunities are created for you repeatedly......... | | |
