Dharma Productions’ Student Of The Year 2 is out in theatres this Friday. You know what that means right? We’re about to see a bunch of youngsters show off their expensive cars and vacationing Lake Como. Also, unleash those posh Bollywood surnames that are hardly specific like Tatas, Birlas or Ambanis. But they usually have a suffix like ‘Industries’ or ‘Textiles’ inscribed on huge mansions. And they’re obviously gold-plated, how dare you ask?
Here’s a list of Bollywood’s most posh surnames, that exist specifically to showcase obscene wealth. Don’t ask about why they’re ALL Hindu and upper-caste, we’re not even attempting to analyse that. It’s quite awesome that mainstream is so full of predictable tropes.
1. The Raichands
2. The Thapars
3. The Oberois
4. The Talvars
5. The Singhanias
6. The Scindias
7. The Shroffs
8. The Ahujas
9. The Bakshis
10. The Gills
What would Bollywood surnames be if it didn’t have Thapar Industries ka iklauta waaris?
