When Bollywood stars said that 'nepotism' might provide a starkid his/her first film, it never guarantees stardom, they were right. Here is a list of 5 newbies who started off their acting career this year but could not quite remain etched in the memories of movie lovers. One among them is also the member of a great film family.

5. Kanan Gill

Not sure if happy or suppressing flatulence.

Popular stand up comedian Kanan Gill made his big screen debut with Sonakshi Sinha's 'Noor.' He played Sonakshi's friend and did a decent job despite being new to film acting. Therefore, many of his fans couldn't comprehend why his performance as an actor did not get the hype and appreciation.

4. Adar Jain

Ranbir Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor's Adar Jain was launched by the Yash Raj Films and appeared in then film 'Qaidi Band' which is a prison musical drama. Despite a much talked about launch, Adar couldn't make his mark as an actor and his Ok-type performance never took off. You see, everyone is not Hrithik Roshan no!

3. Nidhhi Agerwal

Yes?

Not many new-comers get a debut movie as this. Niddhi got to be the quintessential Bollywood heroine in her first film; romancing, dancing and wooing one of the most promising young stars of Bollywood, Tiger Shroff. But she could not live up to the expectations of the makers and delivers a rather disappointing performance.

2. Raai Laxmi

A well known face down South, Raai Laxmi started her Bollywood career with the erotic drama 'Julie 2.' Despite massive media hype 'Julie 2' turned out to be one of the biggest flops of this year. Raai stated that they overdid the sex genre and that can be one of the reasons for the failure of her debut film.

1. Mahira Khan

Mahira's failed Bollywood stint has got to be one of the most unfortunate things for Hindi cinema. The Pakistani actress did make an impact with her performance in 'Raees' and also garnered a huge Indian fan base, but the ban on Pakistani actors was a huge set back for her and also her Indian fans.
