Tusshar Kapoor, yeah, the guy's got Bollywood basically running in his DNA. His dad is Jeetendra—yep, the jumping jack himself—and his sister is that TV queen Ekta Kapoor. So, acting? Not exactly a wild career choice in that family. He’s not just some filmi kid, though; studied business at the University of Michigan, so he’s got some brains mixed in with all that stardom. He kicked off his movie journey with Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai in 2001, starring next to Kareena Kapoor. The film did pretty well, honestly. But, you know how Bollywood is—one hit doesn’t mean you’re set for life. The next couple of years were kinda rough, with a string of flops. Still, the man hustled on. He even teamed up with his dad in Kucch To Hai, which was a teen slasher flick. Yeah, horror in early-2000s Bollywood—not exactly Oscar territory, but hey, at least it was different. Then came Gayab, where Tusshar played this awkward dude who suddenly turns invisible. Not your everyday masala, but people actually noticed his acting chops for once. But let’s be real, what really put him on the map? Comedy. The Golmaal series turned him into everyone’s favorite goofball. Golmaal, Golmaal Returns, Golmaal 3—he nailed the comic timing, even without saying much sometimes. He’s not your typical superstar, but he’s definitely carved out his own weird, quirky spot in the industry.
Ah, the “son of Jeetendra” line—classic Bollywood trivia, honestly. We're talking about Tusshar Kapoor, right? That guy basically inherited the dance genes and a serious love for dramatic entrances. Jeetendra, the disco legend from the '80s, was all about white shoes and those wild, energetic moves. Tusshar grew up watching his dad light up the screen, then jumped into the industry himself with movies like Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai. Sure, he’s had hits and misses—who hasn’t?—but he’s definitely carved his own weird niche. The Golmaal series? Comedy gold, no kidding. And hey, he’s tried everything from romance to horror (don’t even get me started on Kyaa Kool Hai Hum). Being Jeetendra’s kid comes with baggage, but Tusshar’s never really been just a carbon copy. He’s got his quirks, and, honestly, sometimes those work out in the strangest ways.
