There are different kinds of reality shows based on dance, music, etc. The reality shows have been an amazing platform for some popular stars and singers like Arijit Singh, Sonu Nigam, Sunidhi Chauhan, etc. While the other reality shows like Bigg Boss helped many stars kick start their careers and grow big in the industry, there have been times when some contestants and participants of these reality shows got immensely popular with showcasing their skills and talents but as soon as the show ended, they vanished into thin air.

Take a look at the list of some popular yet favorite contestants from the reality shows who could not manage to stay longer in the industry.

Bandgi Kalra: Bigg Boss season 11 contestant Bandagi Kalra created much-hype throughout the show. This actress and model hails from Delhi. While the love story of Bandgi and Puneesh Sharma attracted many audiences to the show, their so-called scripted love eventually turned into a real one. Post getting famous in this show, the actress did not mark her appearance in any other show.

Isha Sharvani: After getting into the list of top 3 contestants in the dance reality show, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa season 5, the actress had to withdraw herself from the show due to an injury. While she was one of the most loved and talented contestants of the show, she bagged immense fame and popularity from the same. Apart from her appearance in this show, she has also been a part of various other Bollywood movies like Kisna: The Warrior Poet, Luck by Chance, Good Boy, Bad Boy, etc. Though she was not able to make it big in the industry through her work in the films, this beauty must have gotten way higher with her performance in this show. But unfortunately, the actress vanished into thin air post her appearance in the show and has only been a part of a few movies afterward.

Qazi Toukeer: Almost after a decade of being a winner of the reality show, Fame Gurukul, this contestant managed to mark his appearance in the popular song, “afgan jalebi” in 2015.
