Entertainment Aug 17, 2018
With the next gen of stars snapping lead roles in today’s big cinematic productions, we can’t help but go down memory lane, looking back at when today’s Bollywood icons were just getting started!
It’s that time in Bollywood when star kids are making their big screen debut. We are referring to Sridevi’s oldest daughter Jhanvi Kapoor who recently made her debut alongside Shahid Kapoor’s half-brother Ishaan Khatter in Dhadak.
Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s daughter Sara Ali Khan will also be making her debut with Simmba opposite Ranveer Singh, which is slated for a December release.
So with young starlets spreading their wings B-wood style, we take a look at some of the Bollywood icon’s debut films.
Shah Rukh Khan
King Khan made his big screen debut in 1992 with Deewana. Before that, he was on the small screen doing TV series like Fauji. He has since completed over 80 Bollywood films, and he’s still our favourite.
Priyanka Chopra
After winning Miss World in 2000, Priyanka made her big screen debut with Tamil film Thamizan in 2002 and then starred in the Bollywood film The Hero: Love Story of a Spy in 2003. She has now crossed over to Hollywood making movies like Baywatch and was the lead on an American series Quantico.
Kareena Kapoor Khan & Abhishek Bachchan
Kareena made her debut in 2000’s Refugee alongside Abhishek Bachchan, who also made his debut with this film.

Sonakshi Sinha
This actress started alongside Salman Khan in Dabangg in 2010, which instantly elevated her to fame.
Sonam Kapoor & Ranbir Kapoor
Sonam and Ranbir both made their big debut with Sanjay Leela Bansali’s Saawariyaa in 2007. Yes, the very film in which Ranbir’s towel dance scene was more talked about than the actor’s performance.
