Meet politician's daughter who was a flop in Bollywood, gave just one superhit film in 16 years, yet her net worth will astonish you, her name is...
Bollywood has a deep relationship with cricket as much as it has with politics. Many cricketers have married actresses, while the children of many politicians have made their own identities in the film industry. When we mention actors belonging to political families, the first name that comes to mind is Riteish Deshmukh. He established his identity on the silver screen based on his talent, apart from his family's legacy. But today we are going to tell you about another actress associated with politics and the royal family who could not achieve her position in the film world.
Actors like Bhumi Pednekar, Aayush Sharma, and Arunoday Singh, who left behind their family legacy and turned to the film industry. Out of these, only a few actors have been able to succeed in the world of acting. Many actors remained confined to side roles. The actress we are talking about today has worked with stars like Emraan Hashmi, Jackie Bhagnani, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Arjun Kapoor. She appeared in many films in her 16-year-long career, but could not leave her mark as a lead actress.
Neha Sharma started her career with Telugu films in the year 2007. She first appeared in the film 'Chirutha' in the year 2007. The actress's second Telugu film was released in the year 2009. Neha Sharma debuted in a Hindi film in 2010. The actress made her debut opposite Emraan Hashmi. She was first seen in 'Crook', in which her acting was well received, but the film could not do wonders at the box office.
Actress Neha Sharma's acting and songs were well-liked in the 2010 film 'Crook'. She was successful in attracting people's attention with her performance in the film. Along with this, the makers also focused their attention on the actress. After her first film, Neha Sharma started getting many film offers. According to several media reports, Neha Sharma's net worth is estimated to be somewhere around Rs 22 crore.
Neha Sharma has worked in films like Kya Super Cool Hain Hum, Jayantbhai Ki Love Story, Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, Youngistan, Tum Bin 2, Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, Solo, and Tanhaji. Neha, who has been a part of many films, has been able to give only 1 blockbuster in her 16-year career. The actress's 2020 film Tanhaji was a blockbuster, but in this film, Neha was not seen in the lead role but as a supporting artist. This is the only blockbuster of the actress's career.
Neha Sharma is a resident of Bihar. She started her career by studying fashion design at NIFT. The actress's father, Ajit Sharma, has been an MLA from the Bhagalpur seat in the Bihar Legislative Assembly several times. He was an MLA from the Congress party. Actress Neha Sharma has been away from the screen since 2020.

Saiyami Kher Reveals Hardcore Ironman 70.3 Prep: 'Nothing Comes Easy'
Last Updated: Saiyami Kher is training for her second Ironman 70.3 with daily 10km runs, 40km cycling, and 1.5km swims — all while juggling a film career. Saiyami Kher is not just conquering roles on screen—she's also pushing her physical boundaries in the real world. The actress and athlete is currently in the thick of training for her second Ironman 70.3 triathlon, and her regimen reflects a grit and determination that rivals professional athletes. A known fitness enthusiast, Saiyami has always straddled the line between cinema and sport. But her current training schedule for the triathlon is next-level. She recently offered fans a peek into her daily routine—an impressive 10-kilometre treadmill run clocked in at just over 70 minutes, followed by a 40-kilometre cycling session around Mumbai averaging 25.6 km/h, and a pool swim of 1.5 kilometres completed in under 38 minutes. Each workout is a testament to her discipline, and yet, Saiyami remains modest about her progress. 'Olympic size distance felt great but feeling far from ready for the 70.3," she shared, acknowledging the steep climb that still lies ahead—both literally and figuratively. The triathlon's route was changed after she registered, transforming it into a more difficult, hilly terrain. But Saiyami isn't backing down. If anything, it has only fuelled her to train harder. 'Being an actor comes with its own physical and emotional demands," she said. 'Training for something like the Ironman 70.3 while shooting or traveling is extremely challenging. But I've never liked doing things halfway. This race is a test of not just the body but the mind too. I know I have a long way to go… This race is way tougher than what I did last year. Which is why I need to put in even more effort. Juggling work and training gets tough. But nothing comes easy :)" Saiyami Kher made her acting debut with the Telugu film Rey in 2015 and her Hindi debut with Mirzya in 2016). She has since appeared in Mauli (2018), Choked (2020), Wild Dog (2021) and Ghoomer (2023). She has also starred in the streaming series Special OPS (2020) and Faadu (2022).
