Bollywood's family dynamics

There seems to be a few shifts in work dynamics, where a couple of Bollywood stars are concerned. Kangana Ranaut’s faithful sister Rangoli, who looked after the star’s professional commitments, seems to have vanished from the scenes, while Nawazuddin Siddiqui has brought his brother on board as his business manager.

Kangana’s doting sister, who trailed the actress to most events, is no longer on board with her. Says a filmmaker friend of the actress, “We don’t see  Rangoli accompanying Kangana anywhere anymore for any events. She has not been seen at any of the Rangoon events, or for that matter anywhere near Kangana. We hear she has gone back to their home town in Himachal.”

We do hope that the rift between the sisters, if any, is soon resolved.

In the meanwhile Nawazuddin has sacked his business manager. Henceforth, all his work is going to be supervised by his brother, Shamas Nawab Siddiqui. Shamas has in the past made a short film Miyan Kal Aana.

Another B’town biggie of a small-town origin, who has brought his siblings into the industry is Anurag Kashyap. Anurag’s brother Abhinav made the successful Dabangg and the flop Besharam. Anurag and Abhinav’s sister also directed a short film. Now we hear Kashyap’s cousin from Lucknow is all set to make his acting debut.
