Bollywood is a pool of ability that finds new faces each other day. While some have figured out how to unpleasant it out and stick around for the whole deal, numerous were lost throughout the years and we need to remind you, they may have been lost, yet they weren't overlooked.
See, a rundown of 10 Bollywood performers that we saw and expected a great deal from, however who vanished after a brief sentiment with fame.
1. Tanishaa Mukerji
Our very own Kajol's sister made her debut with 'Sssshhh...' in 2003. Seen more recently in TV reality show Bigg Boss 7, she's been mostly missing from the big screen. After her split with Armaan Kohli in 2014, she was last reported as living the single life in Mumbai.
After a few smaller roles in 'Sarkar' and 'Tango Charlie', she then tried her hand at a leading role in 'Neal N Nikki'. This Uday Chopra starrer didn't quite do for her what she'd hoped and hence began the case of Tanishaa's disappearance from Hindi cinema.
2. Sneha Ullal
She made big news as the young new Aishwarya look-alike when she debuted in Salman Khan starrer 'Lucky - No Time For Love' (2005). Now a big name in the south, Sneha hasn't looked back since.
But almost immediately after her debut, Ullal escaped to the Telugu film scene, never to return to Bollywood but for a few projects here and there.
3. Minissha Lamba
Best known for her debut film 'Yahaan' Lamba vanished soon after a few more films. We last saw her in Bigg Boss 8 after which she got married to long-time boyfriend Ryan Tham in a hush-hush ceremony.
Some of her other roles included 'Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.' and 'Bachna Ae Haseeno'. Apart from a roles in Punjabi films she's probably been busy living the newly-wed life with her husband of hardly one year.
4. Bhoomika Chawla
Bhoomika had already been pretty big in the Telugu film scene for a few years when she made her smash hit debut in Bollywood opposite Salman Khan in 'Tere Naam', and soon after, she made a move to southern cinema permanently.
Following 'Tere Naam', apart from occasional films like 'Run' and 'Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa' the actress seemed to have stuck to Telugu cinema. Still thriving in the south, I believe it's safe to say we may not see a return of Bhoomika Chawla any time soon.
5. Tanushree Dutta
2004's Femina Miss India Universe, Tanushree Dutta was signed for the 2005 blockbuster, 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne'. After her last film, 'Ramaa: The Saviour' (2010), Dutta gave herself a sabbatical and was last seen expressing a desire to re-enter Bollywood in 2013.
After the huge success of her first film, though, she was only seen in a select few films like 'Chocolate: Deep Dark Secrets' (2005) and 'Good Boy, Bad Boy' (2007).
6. Shamita Shetty
After her debut in 2000 with multi-starrer 'Mohabbatein', Shamita made a few song appearances in 'Saathiya' and 'Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai'. In June 2011, Shetty announced her retirement from acting to start a career in interior design.
With not many leading roles except for in 'Zeher', 'Bewafaa' and 'Cash' - which also didn't yield much success, Shetty's acting career took a back seat. More recently, she was seen as a participant on Jhalak Dikhla Jaa Reloaded in 2015.
7. Udita Goswami
Starting out as a model, Goswami did a few ad films for Pepsi and Titan before making her debut in Bollywood with 'Paap' in 2003. Married to director Mohit Suri in 2013 and proud mother of a baby girl as of last year, Goswami has been absent from the acting scene for some time now.
'Paap' was followed by films like 'Zeher' (2005) and 'Aksar' (2006) but none of these films succeeded to establish her as a long term Bollywood star.
8. Rimi Sen
Rimi Sen made a pretty noticeable debut with 'Hungama' in 2003 and we saw her in other films like 'Baghban' (2003), 'Dhoom' (2004), 'Deewane Hue Pagal' (2005) and 'Golmaal: Fun Unlimited' (2006). She's expressed the desire to join more reality shows since Bigg Boss.
Her romance with Bollywood stardom, however, was short-lived and we soon saw her in smaller roles. Last seen in 'De Taali' and 'Johnny Gaddar' in 2007-08 and in a few reality series like Bigg Boss, Sen is desirous of reappearing on screen, but has not managed to remake her acting career yet.
9. Hansika Motwani
A child actor to start with, Motwani's entry into Bollywood as a leading lady in 'Aap Kaa Surroor' (2007) took many by surprise. Now an established actress in Tamil and Telugu cinema, Motwani is doing super well for herself.
A young starter, Motwani broke into the acting business way back when she was kid. Serials like 'Shakalaka Boom Boom' and 'Des Mein Nikla Hoga Chand' got her attention as a young star. She even appeared in 'Koi... Mil Gaya' with Hrithik Roshan in 2003. While she took on a few more Hindi projects, it wasn't long before she migrated more permanently to the south. And the odds of us seeing her in a Hindi film may be questionable.
10. Ayesha Takia
After appearing in a few music videos, Takia made her Bollywood debut in 'Tarzan: The Wonder Car' in 2004. Now married to politician and businessman Farhan Azmi, she's been seen hosting musical reality show 'Sur Kshetra' in 2012.
We saw her in memorable films like 'Dor' (2006) and 'Wanted' (2009) among quite a few others. But this stint too, surprisingly, didn't last very long.
