Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh needs no introduction as such. But, here's one anyway – he's a grandson to Bollywood's legendary singer Mukesh and a son to Nitin Mukesh, who's a well-known singer too.

Neil told, "People expected me to sing rather than act when I first thought of entering Bollywood." Neil made his Bollywod debut as a child artist in Yash Chopra's Vijay (1988). Neil went on to complete his Bachelors in Commerce from a college in Mumbai and then, decided to take up acting as his career, instead of singing. That, he's connected to Bollywood, is no secret. But, the actor insists that he has made it on his own. "People did offer me a cup of tea but after that it was on my own. If they say that having a Bollywood connect helps get you roles then I have definitely not got any."
Neil Nitin Mukesh made his Bollywood debut as an adult in the critically acclaimed Johnny Gaddaar in the year 2007 and was nominated for Filmfare's Best Male Debut Award.

I also love composing music and recently bought a medicontroller with which, I can program music and compose newer tunes.,"
