In the history of Bollywood, there have been many actors and actresses who reached great heights early in their careers but, for various reasons, experienced an unseen decline from which they never recovered. From Shiney Ahuja to Uday Chopra, and Ayesha Takia to Asin, the list is long. Among them is one such actress who, despite a strong debut, faced continuous setbacks. She blamed her downfall on superstar Rishi Kapoor. Let's find out who this actress is and uncover the secret behind her downfall. Actress Kajal Kiran made her debut alongside Rishi Kapoor in the 1977 film Hum Kisise Kum Nahin. Kajal came from a middle-class family in Mumbai, and her real name was Sunita Kulkarni. Before entering films, Kajal had aspired to become a doctor. Following her debut, she starred opposite Jeetendra in the 1980 film Maang Bharo Sajna, which was also a hit. Throughout her career, Kajal appeared in around 40 films like Saboot(1979), Humse Badhkar Kaun(1981), Wardaat(1981) and also acted In Malayalam movies in the 80's. At one point, Kajal blamed Rishi Kapoor for the decline of her career. She claimed that his strong image as a romantic hero overshadowed her presence, preventing her from proving herself and gaining the spotlight she deserved. During the shooting of Hum Kisise Kum Nahin , director Nasir Hussain advised Kajal Kiran not to sign any other films until the success of the film was certain. Although the film turned out to be a success. Other producers hesitated to approach her, believing she was under contract with Hussain. Kajal later blamed Rishi Kapoor for stifling her career and Nasir Hussain for not promoting her. Kajal quit Bollywood in 1989 and relocated to Netherlands after her marriage.

'Rishi Kapoor ne barbaad..'; this actress worked with superstars , was called 'flop actress', didn't get work after her debut film, she is…
Rishi Kapoor had such a charm in the industry that actresses used to yearn to work with him. His pairing with many actresses was such that the films became hits as soon as they were released. But this did not happen with Kajal Kiran. Even after debuting with Rishi Kapoor, her career sank. In one of her interviews, Kajal even said that her career was ruined because of Rishi. Kajal Kiran worked in about 40 films in 13 years in her career. She even worked in a hit film with Jitendra. Despite this, she got the tag of 'flop actress' in the industry. While actresses' careers used to improve after debuting with Rishi Kapoor, the opposite happened with Kajal Kiran. She debuted in 1977 with director Nasir Hussain's film 'Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahin'. The film proved to be a blockbuster. But Kajal did not get any special benefit. Kajal made her debut directly with the romantic hero of that era, Rishi Kapoor. Kajal became a superhit actress in her very first attempt. But after the release of this film, Kajal did not get any other film offers. She was desperate for work. Even if Kajal was offered some films, they proved to be flops at the box office. Somehow, people did not notice Kajal in her debut film. Or it can be said that her talent faded in front of Rishi Kapoor's stardom. In such a situation, a new heroine of that era had made several allegations against Rishi Kapoor. Not only this, but that beautiful actress had also implicated director Nasir Hussain. Because even after the first big hit, Kajal was yearning to get a film. According to IMDb, 'Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahin' actress Kajal Kiran's films were continuously flopping. She blamed Rishi Kapoor for this because the actress's talent was not recognized in front of his stardom. The actress said that her career was ruined because of him. Not only this, Kajal played an important role in the 1980 film 'Maang Bharo Sajna' starring Jeetendra, Rekha, and Mousami Chatterjee. The film became a blockbuster hit. But Kajal's stalled career could not get a new direction.
