Bollywood sees fresh faces debuting every year. They set out with dreams and hopes to try their luck in the glamorous film industry. And these days, they undergo a lot of preparation and training, so that they can make a mark with their first films. Here are heirs of acclaimed actors and hail from respected film families. The new year seems to be a special one, as many debutantes begin shooting for their new projects and a few look forward to their first releases. Take a look at some promising new faces, who aim to make a splash in their first year in showbiz.

Ahan Shetty

The son of action star Suniel Shetty and interior designer Mana Shetty, Ahan Shetty will soon begin shooting for his debut project in 2017 produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The youngster has apparently always aimed to become an actor in Hindi cinema. His debut movie is expected to release in 2018. Ahan is a trained actor and is also training under an action specialist as part of an extensive programme. He will be training for six months in London, UK.

Sara Ali Khan

Sara Ali Khan, daughter of actors Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, is also gearing up to make her foray into B-Town. Saif has said that Sara has wanted to be an actor since she was two years old, but she finished college because he wanted her to. The aspiring actor has worked in theatre productions in the USA, and, according to Saif, she wants to enjoy acting. The latest rumours say that Sara will make her debut in a Karan Malhotra film, which will be produced by Karan Johar.

Ishaan Khattar

Shahid Kapoor�s younger brother, Ishaan Khattar, also harbours acting dreams. There haven�t been any official announcements yet, but rumours suggest that Ishaan will star in the Bollywood remake of the successful Marathi film, Sairat opposite newcomer Jhanvi Kapoor.

Jhanvi Kapoor

Jhanvi Kapoor, the daughter of actor Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor, has been in the news for her much-awaited debut. The star-kid is said to be launched by film-maker Karan Johar, but there is no confirmation about her first movie yet. It has been rumoured, though, that Jhanvi will be making her debut in the Bollywood remake of hit Marathi film, Sairat.

Aadar Jain

The grandson of the late actor and film-maker, Raj Kapoor, Aadar has trained at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, USA, and has worked as an assistant director to Karan Johar. The young actor is set to be launched by Aditya Chopra, and the film will be directed by Habib Faisal.

It looks like Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan have started a new chapter in their once acrimonious relationship. The exes are spending some time in Dubai with their children. Hrithik and Sussanne holidaying with sons Hrehaan and Hridhaan, The photos from their son-soaked vacation are beauty itself.

Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan are playing happy families on the beaches of Dubai with their sons Hrehaan and Hridhaan.

Hrithik had celebrated Christmas with his sons in the French Alps and he then dropped them off at Dubai where their mother is vacationing (It�s Vacay Time For Hrithik Roshan & Family In France!, Dec 17).

Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan�s divorce came as a bolt from the blue for their fans. Considered one of the strongest marriages in Bollywood, the two called it quits two years ago. However, the two have stayed friends and their latest pictures of a family vacation from Dubai are a proof of that. The former couple decided to spend some time as a family and the happy foursome soon headed to the beach. Sussanne posted this picture on Instagram to mark the occasion:

A very beautiful day..??????? #happysoulsareprettiest #familiasagrada #dublife

This is the second public appearance by the family in the past one month. Earlier, Hrithik and Sussanne were seen having dinner with their sons at a Dubai restaurant. They left in the same car and looked happy and comfortable in each other�s company. However, Sussanne has time and again ruled out a reconciliation between the two. �I request people to stop speculating. There will never be a reconciliation with @iHrithik. But we will always be good parents. #no1priority,� she had said in an interview to a website.

Though both of them have clarified that there is no chance of a reconciliation after a headline grabbing divorce, Hrithik and Sussanne have always come together for the children. And it looks like they are putting their best foot forward to be good parents.

Earlier, when people saw Hrithik in a picture while Sussanne was holidaying with her sons abroad, she had said, �Like I always said, Hrithik and I are parents first and have to be in-sync regarding our priorities as parents in order to make sure our boys get the best upbringing. They are and always will be our main priority. So the two of us having lunch with them doesn�t mean we are holidaying together.�
From then to a holiday together, it seems things have actually improved between the two and we cannot be happier. Sussanne posted other images as well.

Besides K. L. Saigal, Rafi was also influenced by G. M. Durrani. In the early phase of his career, he often followed Durrani's style of singing, but later evolved with his own, unique style. He sang with Durrani in some of the songs such as "Humko Hanste Dekh Zamana Jalta Hai" and "Khabar Kisi Ko Nahiin, Woh Kidhar Dekhte" (Beqasoor, 1950).

A major milestone forRafi came in 1949 when Suhani Raat Dhal Chuki, became a great hit. This solidified Mohd. Rafi's position as a top ranking male playback singer.
With the start of the famous Binaca Geet Mala in 1952, the program aired the immortal songs of the film Baiju Bawra and this really launched Rafi as a popular singer for all ages
The Naushad / Rafi collaboration turned out to be a very successful one. In all Mohd Rafi sang 149 songs for Naushad.In the 1960 film Mughal-E-Azam, Mohammed Rafi sang "Ae Mohabbat Zindabad", composed by Naushad, with a chorus of 100 singers
