Top 10 Bollywood Celebrities Who Could Have Had A Different Career

Celebrity lives are all shiny and perfect to us, which makes us obsess over every little detail about them. When it comes to knowing our celeb trivia, no leaf can be left unturned, certainly not the possibility of a potential alternate career! There is a different thrill to getting to know that the actors and actresses we love so dearly could have been unknown to us had they not chosen to pursue their passions. Here is a list of 10 such celebrities whose lives could have been drastically different from the current picture.

1. Akshay Kumar Akshay Kumar was born on 9th September 1967 and hi >> Read More...

We all love and adore Akshay Kumar to the moon and back! Not only his work as an splendid actor but also as a human being makes us salute this guy. But we would not have known this angel of a man at all, had he decided to stay at his former job as a waiter and chef at a restaurant in Bangkok. Although this fact about Akshay is pretty common to his fans, the thought of not having our lives blessed with him is horrifying.

2. Boman Irani Boman Irani is a well known name today in the Boll >> Read More...

He is one of the most endowed actors in Bollywood today, with roles varying over a wide range; he makes sure he does justice to every single one. But our lives would have been bereft of his talents if it weren’t for ‘Munna Bhai M.B.B.S’. Boman used to be a room service attendant at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai.

3. Arshad Warsi Arshad Warsi is most popular for his role as Circu >> Read More...

His comic sense, dance skills and good looks have made us all swoon a million times and no one could have guessed that this man could have done anything else other than the entertainment business. But Arshad Warsi, before he became a Bollywood sensation, used to be a door to door cosmetic salesman. We bet he sold a truckload of products with his humor. But we are also thankful he considered Bollywood.

4. Nawazuddin Siddiqui Nawazuddin Siddiqui was born in Budhana in Muzaffa >> Read More...

Nawazuddin has left us dumbstruck quite a few times with his brilliant acting skills. This is the one man who knows exactly what he has to bring onto the screen every time he plays a character. But before all of this happened, and Siddiqui had not realised his passion for drama, he used to work as a Chemist in Uttar Pradesh. Afterwards he moved to Delhi to pursue acting while working as a watchman. We thank the Almighty for the turn of events here.

5. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra Born on 7th July 1963, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is >> Read More...

Before all the film-making business started, this visionary used to serve tea at film sets. He had also made his way through life, working as a vacuum cleaner salesman. Although not far from film industry, this is still a story the whole of Bollywood is happy, turned out the way it did. We would have hated to lose such a brilliant film-maker.

6. Amitabh Bachchan Amitabh Bachchan was born on October 11, 1942 in A >> Read More...

Some people hold Amitabh Bachchan as high as God, and they cannot be questioned for it. This man has embodied so many characters over the past decades and made us fall in love with every single one of them. We cannot even imagine a Bollywood without Amitabh. But before Bollywood happened, Amitabh used to work as a shipping firm executive at Shaw Wallace and later as a freight broker for Bird and Co. He also tried his hand at being a radio announcer. It’s so satisfying to know that after all of that he finally found his passion and we are not complaining one bit.

7. Vidya Balan Vidya Balan is an award winning Bollywood actress >> Read More...

Vidya Balan is one of the few actresses we love in every and any role that she takes up. Her comforting smile and soothing voice are all one needs to fall in love with her. But had she not choose acting as her career she would have still made an impact through her poetry. As if we needed any more reasons to adore her, Vidya is a poet and an accomplished mimic.

8. Aamir Khan Aamir Khan or Mohammed Aamir Hussain Khan is Bolly >> Read More...

Aamir is the man we all know as the ‘Perfectionist’ of Bollywood. We cannot even remember the time when he portrayed a character that we didn’t enjoy or relate to. He is one person that understand human psychology and the nature of the society we live in which could very well be the reason he is always giving us the most beautiful of movies. Although, had he not been an actor, Aamir would have made his name as a chess champion. We guess perfection is in his blood.

9. Kangana Ranaut Kangana Ranaut is known in Bollywood, for her trem >> Read More...

She has the whole world down on her knees, bold and beautiful; Kangana is a treasure chest of talents. Besides being a strong actress who has portrayed a number of independent female characters, she also has tremendous culinary skills. So had she not been an actress she would have still brought the world to her knees being a head chef in some fancy restaurant.

10. Randeep Hooda The strong macho image of Randeep Hooda graces the >> Read More...

Randeep Hooda could very well be a show jumper and we would believe it in a second. The actor’s love for horses is no secret as he owns six of them and is a prize-winning show jumper. But we are still happy he choose to be an actor and not a show jumper because let’s be honest, he’s a beauty we would hate to lose. Even though we would all be happy for all these celebrities doing whatever they wanted to choose as a career, we are surely more than happy that we get to see them on screen giving us the best performances we could ask for. There might be alternate universes where they work their former or prospective careers but we are content in this universe with all our favorite celebs.
