My Take

Neil Nitin Mukesh carries one of the heaviest pedigrees in Indian music and cinema. He is the son of playback singer Nitin Mukesh and grandson of the legendary Mukesh, his very name a tribute to that lineage. After starting as a child artist, he stepped into a leading role with Johnny Gaddaar in 2007, and I can scarcely imagine the pressure of living up to a family legacy on the Bollywood stage. An actor who also sings, he proves the apple did not fall far from the tree. I am always drawn to those born into artistic dynasties who refuse to coast on the family name and go out to claim their own roles.
