It is very rare in Bollywood that two real sisters become successful. One’s career moves at the speed of a bullet train, while the other has to remain just a name under her shadow. Whether you look at Shamita-Shilpa or Kriti Sanon and Nupur Sanon.

A pair of such sisters tried their luck in films in the 70s and 80s. Not only Reena Roy, but her sister also came to try her luck in films. However, she did not get the success in the industry that the ‘Madhosh’ actress got. Who is Reena Roy’s sister, and where is she now? Let’s know every detail.

Reena Roy’s sister started with Sanam Teri Kasam

While veteran actress Reena Roy made her debut in the world of acting in 1972 with Vijay Arora starrer film ‘Zaroorat’, her sister Barkha Roy made her debut with the film ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ released in 1982. The only difference in the careers of the two sisters was that one used to earn money by acting and the other used to invest money in films.
