Several star kids, despite having famous parents and a promising launch, failed to make a lasting impact in the entertainment industry. Here's a look at some of these star kids who didn't quite live up to expectations and disappeared.

Uday Chopra, son of Yash Chopra, had a high-profile debut in Mohabbatein (2000) but was overshadowed by Shahrukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. Despite appearing in several films, including solo projects, Uday's acting career failed to impress.

Kumar Gaurav, son of Rajendra Kumar, had the looks of a chocolate hero and showed promise with his acting debut in Mahesh Bhatt's Janam. He had successes with Love Story and Naam, but ultimately, his flops outnumbered his hits, and his career fizzled out.
