Meet actor, whose grandfather is a legendary superstar, father is a celebrated action hero, yet he turned out to be a megaflop, he is.., his grandfather is…

In an industry where the last name often holds paramount importance, legacy and family connections give an edge for easy access to the industry. However, sometimes, despite the successful family legacy and royalty, some actors are not able to turn their lineage into lasting fame. One such tale is of an actor who was born into the family of an iconic Bollywood royalty; however, before he could even become a big name, his name couldn’t even rise.

The actor that we are talking about is none other than Karan Deol. Belonging to the iconic family of Hindi cinema, he is the grandson of legendary star Dharmendra and son of superstar Sunny Deol. Bobby Deol is his paternal uncle, and Bollywood’s dream girl, Hema Malini, is his step-grandmother. The entire Deol family belongs to the film fraternity and therefore, Karan Deol also had expectations soaring high

A strong debut that didn’t make a mark

Karan Deol made his debut with a romantic film, Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, launched by his father, Sunny Deol, and the title of the film was inspired by Dharmendra’s legendary song. Being made under a huge banner and emotional homage, this song had everything that’s required to kickstart a strong and successful career.

But despite the great support, the film couldn’t make a mark. It was neither the story nor Karan’s performance that resonated with the audience. Karan, who seemed a promising newcomer, faded out before even rising.

Legacy and its aftermath

In an industry where the conversation of nepotism and favouritism keeps doing the rounds, Karan’s story is proof that being born in the family of a powerful legacy doesn’t always guarantee success. Rather, it’s the talent and hard work that garners an actor fame, success, and stardom
