It will not be surprising if one day a survey shows that the first thought parents have after seeing their newborn is “Humara bacha Engineer/Doctor banega”. At least in India.

Parents usually have a decidedly ‘safe’ career path for their children or, occasionally, a career that they could not pursue themselves. As a consequence, conflict arises as children grow up and make their own decisions.
Many of us have been there, as have several well-known celebrities who have gone against their parents’ wishes to pursue their desired careers.
1. Mallika Sherawat
Mallika spoke in an interview about how she fought against patriarchy in her community. The actor ran away from home as her parents disapproved of her pursuing an acting career. Her father threatened to disown her if she pursued acting, believing it would shame the family. Mallika decided to rebel by dropping his last name.
2. Kangana Ranaut
Kangana Ranaut has spoken openly about leaving home at a young age to pursue a career in the film industry and how it impacted her relationship with her family. Her father wanted her to be a doctor, she revealed.
3. Irrfan Khan
Irrfan Khan’s legacy will live on in Hindi cinema, but he didn’t have an easy road to his dreams. In fact, his family never thought he would pursue an acting career. In an interview he explained that there was no question for him to become an actor since he comes from a traditional feudal family.
4. Aamir Khan
Aamir Khan would not have become a star if he had followed his parents’ advice and studied engineering. The actor, who is the son of director Tahir Hussain, revealed that despite coming from a film family, they are opposed to him coming to Bollywood as they feel it is “not a good place”.
5. Radhika Apte
Radhika Apte, who made a name for herself in Hindi cinema, admitted that her father thought acting was a “brainless pursuit”. She explained in an interview that her father told her that the work “would make her depressed by the age of 30”, which she found annoying.
6.Sara Ali Khan
Sara Ali Khan made her acting debut four years ago in the film Kedarnath. At first, her father and an actor, Saif Ali Khan, didn’t seem to approve of her career decision. In an interview with DNA, he admitted he was “a little nervous” that Sara would become an actor because it’s not the most stable profession.
7. Karisma Kapoor
It is a well-known fact that women in the Kapoor family do not usually act. But despite the fact that it reportedly didn’t sit well with Randhir Kapoor, Karisma chose to start her acting career at the age of 15.
8.Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer’s parents were also quite religious with her growing up, and becoming a movie star wasn’t a realistic goal for someone like her. When she pitched the idea to her parents, they flatly rejected it. Her mother, according to the actor, wanted her to fail so she could come home.
9. Katy Perry
Katy grew up in a household with strict standards of behavior and was raised by two pastors. The singer has been open about her strict religious upbringing and revealed that her parents were concerned about some of her career choices.
10.Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez has explained that she left her parents’ house as a teenager to pursue a career in show business, which her parents don’t approve of. They told her that what she was doing was stupid and that she didn’t stand a chance because Latinos were often subjected to racism and stereotypes.
11. Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise’s father discouraged him from pursuing an acting career, instead urging him to become a Catholic priest. He originally trained as a Catholic priest before entering the entertainment world.
12.Dwayne Johnson
Despite his achievements, The Rock’s father, Rocky “Soul Man” Johnson, who was a well-known wrestler in the ’90s, had no desire for his son to become a wrestler. Dwayne previously said they had the most heated argument over this.
We are glad that these celebrities overcame all obstacles to achieve their dreams. otherwise the world would be devoid of such talents.
