Numerous youngsters enter the industry to become actors, but only a few are able to make their mark.

While it’s often assumed that star kids don’t need to struggle for fame, many artists from renowned film families still fail to achieve success. This story is about one such actor.

Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat was the only film where he played a lead role in his short-lived career.

While Rani received a long list of film offers, Shadab didn’t get the opportunities many believed he deserved.

After Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat, Shadab Khan appeared in films like Betabi, Hey Ram, and Refugee, but almost all of them failed at the box office.

Shadab was last seen in Romeo Akbar Walter. He also appeared in the web series Scam 1992 in the year 2020.

Shadab Khan has another identity. He is the son of Bollywood’s OG villain Amjad Khan, who is famous as Gabbar of Sholay.

After a brief cameo in Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor’s debut film Refugee, Shadab decided to step away from acting and focus on writing instead.

He went on to author a biography of his father, Amjad Khan, which was later unveiled by Amitabh Bachchan.

Apart from this, he also launched books like Shanti Memorial in 2013 and Murder in Bollywood in 2015.
