Karisma and Kareena Kapoor
Karisma Kapoor aka Lolo made her debut in Prem Qaidi with Harish from down South. Most of her releases later failed, but Raja Hindustani shot her to the heights of stardom. Today she’s happily married and judging some reality show on TV. Younger sister Kareena aka Bebo aka size-zero followed in Karisma’s footsteps with her debut in JP Dutta's Refugee (Yawn!!) opposite Abhishek Bachchan (another star son). Today she’s known more for her reed thin look and her relationship with Saif than her acting skills. GPR s
Kajol and Tanisha Mukherjee
Kajol was first seen in Bekhudi opposite Kamal Sadanah (who?!). She shot to fame with Baazigar, and followed it up with many hits. She is apparently the highest paid Indian actress, and will be seen next in friend Karan Johar’s My Name is Khan with Shahrukh Khan. Tanisha was always Kajol’s baby sister. And her career was also the size of a baby! She started off as a VJ for Channel V and made her debut with Sssshhh opposite Dino Morea. The film bombed, and she made another debut with Neil and Nikki opposite Uday Chopra, showing off enough skin. This one too bombed, and that’s all there is to her film career.
Shilpa and Shamita Shetty
Sizzling and sexy Shilpa Shetty started her career as a model with Limca at 16, and made her film debut with Baazigar. Here PR skills were always in place, and she was in the news for a steamy affair with the ever-available Akshay Kumar. She reignited her career with her victory in UK reality TV show Big Brother. She also owns an IPL cricket team. Shamita Shetty made her debut with the Yashraj banner in Mohabbatein, directed by Aditya Chopra. Since Mohabbatein, she has found success only in item numbers, including Sharara Sharara in Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai and Chori Pe Chori in Saathiya (both yashraj films again). Her first solo-hit was Zeher, after which she was also seen with sister Shilpa in Fareb. She’s currently not in the news for anything (we suspect she’s considering retirement!).
Malaika and Amrita Arora
Malaika Arora Khan was a VJ with MTV India. She appeared in many advertisements as well as cameos for song and dance sequences in films, including the most famous Chaiyya Chaiyya from Dil Se and Maahi Ve from Kaante, which made her an instant sex symbol. Tried acting in Kaante and Bichoo, but failed. She was quick enough to know her strengths, so since then focused on her modelling career. She’s seen either doing item numbers or judging reality shows on TV. (Can’t act, let’s judge!) Amrita made her debut opposite Fardeen Khan with Kitne Door Kitne Paas, big disaster. Her first successful film was Awara Paagal Deewana. A series of flops followed, among them the controversial Girlfriend and some others. Lately she’s seen in any film starring pal Kareena Kapoor like Golmaal Returns and Kambakth Ishq. But it’s too late, and there’s nothing left to revive in her career. The story for most of the sisters can be summed up in one word – failure. But we hope Isabel and Natasha make it big in the big bad world of Bollywood.
