If you think television is an easy platform and an added advantage to enter Bollywood then guess again. There are quite a few budding actors from the television industry who aspired to be a part of Bollywood and have failed to make it big despite a lot of hoopla.
Probably the only actor from television to strike gold is none other than Shahrukh Khan.
R. Madhavan who started his career in television serials like Banegi Apani Baat, Tol Mol Ke Bol, Ghar Jamai, Sea Hawks and Saaya managed to bag movies in the South. Being a successful star out there he landed in Bollywood with his first movie Rehna Hai Terre Dil Mein. He went onto do Dil Vil Pyar Vyar and Ramji Londonwaley, all of which bombed at the box-office. And so he shifted back to television with a show called 'Deal Ya No Deal'. But his second innings again was not that successful with Mandira Bedi replacing him as the host. He was seen doing a cameo in Rang de Basanti where his performance was appreciated but nothing that could actually salvage his soaring career.
Mandira Bedi began with the most popular daily soap Shanti, tried her hands in films through the blockbuster Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge where she hardly got noticed in front of stalwarts like Shahrukh and Kajol. She made a comeback in her husband Raj Kaushal's Shaadi Ke Laddoo. But she couldn't receive that popularity which she has achieved as an anchor.
