20 Bollywood Stars Who Have Studied Abroad

Indian education system is not exactly the best system. Many people prefer to go abroad and complete their education, if for nothing else, then for the sheer freedom that it will give them. Common man gets to break away from the norm that one often finds unbreakable in India, while a celebrity’s children are sent abroad to study so they can enjoy a normal life, because they will always have photographers and media hounding after them in India even in schools, and they may be sabotaged by fans. Many celebrities also go abroad so that they can study acting or any other skill of theirs that they want to develop.
