In the case of several Bollywood stars, they were nearly compelled to leave the glamorous world and pursue other careers.

These stars, on the other hand, have become household names in the industry, and we applaud them for sticking to their guns and pursuing their aspirations.

Neha Dhupia

Neha began her career in the film industry with the Malayalam film Minnaram. Apart from that, in 2002, she was the Miss India Pageant winner.

In an interview, she expressed her happiness with her job and recalled the day when her father bought her ticket back to their hometown, stating, “I assume you’ll be back in three months.” “You desire to be a member of the Indian Administrative Service.”

Everything else is history! With Qayamat: City Under Threat, she made her Bollywood debut.

Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan is known as Bollywood’s perfectionist. But it turns out that before becoming an actor, he had other ambitions.

His parents wanted him to go into engineering, despite the fact that he has entertained us in movies. He claimed that his family was against him going into the film industry because they believed it was dangerous.

Irrfan Khan

Irrfan Khan, the late actor who straddled a career in both Bollywood and Hollywood, gave some outstanding performances.

In an interview, he stated that his parents never wanted him to go into Bollywood and instead encouraged him to join the family business.

He also stated that because they despised cinema, he had to lie in order to become an actor.

Pankaj Tripathi

Actor Pankaj Tripathi gave some of the best performances in Gangs Of Wassyepur, and following his tenure in Mirzapur, he became an OTT celebrity. But did you know that becoming an actor wasn’t his first plan?

In an interview, he stated, “I didn’t want to get into this field; it was only when I was 22 or 23 that I became interested in it.”

“My father wished for me to pursue a career as a doctor. People in the village where I grew up, Gopalganj in North Bihar, only know two professions: engineer and doctor.”

Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone has had a remarkable career in Bollywood. She used to be a badminton player, but at the age of 16, she switched her concentration to acting.

She once confessed to her mother that she plays badminton because her father insists on it, but she really wants to work in the film industry. In addition, she stated that badminton is her ‘second passion.’
