😃😃😃 There are so many Bollywood celebs who had amazing success stories. Which ones interested or inspired you? The most legendary ones are without a doubt Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan. These two did not come from big film families and they managed to become superstars in their own right. And I also like Hrithik Roshan's success story. His father Rakesh Roshan was not very popular. However, Hrithik made his father's movies a superhit because of his determination, charisma, acting ability, and appeal to the audience. Everyone says he is a hit because of his father only 😆. What if Hrithik didn't do everything in his power to showcase his abilities? His success story speaks volumes since he has managed to stick around for over a decade. As for actresses, it has been very interesting as well!! Like I mentioned yesterday with Madhuri Dixit, she became a huge success with her ninth film Tezaab after so many years of struggle! Aishwarya was criticized for her acting just because she was a beauty queen. But, HDDCS changed all that! And look at Katrina and Kareena, they were written off in the early years, but are Bollywood's reigning queens today!

What are the success stories which made you sit up and notice?! Please share your thoughts...
👏👏👏

srk's success story really interests me...coz ive read his biography...and its soo, well filmy...but its inspiring at the same time..

a small time tv actor, who loses his parents at an early age, stars off by playing villainous characters no other actor would touch with a 10 feet pole...not conventionally good looking, ppl wrinkled their nose at the sight of him...

But look at him now...

My fav one though is rajnikanth...bus conducter woking for 5 rupees/day becomes the country's highest paid actor and delivers a blockbuster at the age of 60...

now THAT is something truly inspiring...

With all due respect but Hrithik's is hardly a success story. Rakesh Roshan may not have been a superstar but his presence in Bollywood made it easier for his son. The three that come to mind are SRK, Big B and Akshay Kumar. They struggled and have earned their success.
But SRK's story for me is the most fascinating. If ppl call him the Badshah of Bollywood, then he deserves it. He started from scratch.

Katrina Kaif. Seriously this girl started from a shitty film BOOM and today she's working with all three Khans and more! She's got the audience on her heels and every move she makes is captured by the media. Am so proud of her. GO KATRINA! 👏

I believe Salman provided her with that opportunity to SHINE in Bollywood. Or else she would have to stick to SHITTY films like BOOM

SRK success is the most inspiring in Bollywood.He started from nowhere and now he is the best in Bollywood and his struggle & how he became a SUPERSTAR is a very interesting story. His success is the GREATEST in Bollywood according to me.

SRK surely is the most inspiring. Lets not forget Akshay too...he was another outsider too.
