Shah Rukh Khan


Shah Rukh Khan used to sell tickets at a movie theatre and made only Rs 50, but that was enough for him to go to Agra and see the Taj Mahal.

Akshay Kumar


Akshay Kumar is now a well-known actor. Before that, he worked as a waiter and chef at a Bangkok hotel and made Rs 1500, which is a far cry from what he makes now and what he shares from his business operations.

Pankaj Tripathi


Pankaj Tripathi, who is known for his many different parts, worked in a lot of different jobs, like cooking and farming. He was sure that no job was too small, so he was happy with the Rs 1700 he made for his first TV show.

Rajnikanth


The fact that Rajinikanth went from being a bus driver in Bangalore who made Rs 750 a month to a legendary superstar who's known as 'Thalaiva', shows how powerful desire can be.

Irfan Khan


Before he became an actor, the late Irfan Khan, who was known all over the world, taught children for Rs 25 each. His fame has gone beyond Bollywood and into Hollywood.
