These 5 actresses are called mega flops of Bollywood, the names will shock you

The glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood is a home to beautiful faces and promising new talents who win over hearts with their beauty, strong screen presence, runway shows, and through their charm. However, beauty is not enough to make an impact at the box office. While certain actresses became popular due to their appearance and public visibility, their performances on screen failed to match up, and they ended up with several box office flops. Even though they had successful debuts, industry background, or recognized family names, the actresses could not keep giving hits and faded away over time.

One such name is Sonakshi Sinha, who is a constant fixture on social media with her style statements and public outings. She made a big splash in the industry with Salman Khan’s Dabangg but could not press on that advantage. Sonakshi worked in a lot of films over the years, but most of them turned out to be flops, keeping her career going at a standstill.

Another name to crop up in such discussions is Sonam Kapoor, the offspring of veteran actor Anil Kapoor. Though a member of a renowned cinema family, Sonam couldn’t make an impact through her acting. Being identified more for her fashion statements than for films, she produced a sequence of flops in the course of her career and is at present taking a break from films.

Esha Deol, the daughter of Bollywood’s first dream girl Hema Malini, also shared the same experience. Though she received countless opportunities in the industry, most of her films were not up to mark. Her sole major success was with Dhoom, which is one of her few films that were received well.

Amisha Patel made a dream entry with the blockbuster Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, which brought her overnight stardom. But her following films weren’t up to the mark, and she sank fast, even after the initial expectations of her long-term stay in Bollywood.

Kangana Ranaut, for her controversial statements and political connections, has been in the midst of scandals frequently enough. Although she has starred in some highly acclaimed movies, most of her movies tanked at the box office. Having worked on 24–25 films, most of her recent titles weren’t popular enough.

These actresses demonstrate that despite a strong kickstart, strong industry bonds, or popularity, Bollywood success is not assured. The force to stay in the game, pick good scripts, and perform well is what makes one a star versus one who becomes a legend. While fame and glitz were achieved by some, their body of work has another tale to tell — one of lost opportunities and unrealized talent.
