Early Life:

Looking at the glamorous life of Bollywood stars makes us feel that these privileged people were born with a silver spoon and never had to face challenges in their life. Contrary to this, successful Bollywood actors too had their share of hardships during the struggling phase before they could become rich and famous. So let’s have a close look at the early life of Ajay Devgn, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar.

Ajay Devgn

• Do you remember the split performed by Ajay Devgn while balancing between 2 bikes in the opening scene in Phool aur Kante? The songs of the movie and his chemistry with Madhoo became a rage and the rest as they say is history.  From acting in action movies to showing his different side in movies like Dilwale, Ishq, Pyar to Hona Hi Tha and many more, Ajay Devgn’s versatility is his biggest strength. The Singham actor tried his hands on comedy too and the Golmaal series is proof of how well he can handle comic scenes too.

Shah Rukh Khan

• The King of Romance started his career with a Doordarshan series Fauji and then came Deewane opposite Divya Bharti and Rishi Kapoor in 1992 and the actor made a sudden connection with the audiences. Baazigar followed by Darr, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Karn Arjun, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and the list is endless. His contribution to the Indian cinema is unmatchable and no wonder his ardent fans wait impatiently outside Mannat to catch a glimpse of the Living Legend.

Salman Khan

• Prem is synonymous with Salman Khan and Sooraj Bharjataya is to be acknowledged for the same. The love story of Suman and Prem in Maine Pyar Kiya was pious and the masses knew that there is something special about this charming young boy. The Big Boss anchor has had his share of hits and flops in the industry but his magnetic on-screen presence even at the age of 58 is unbeatable.

Akshay Kumar

• If fitness and regime could be personified, then Akshay Kumar is someone who would fit into the box. For this Hera Pheri star, the journey in Bollywood was never easy. He tried his hands on basically everything that came his way. From acting in movies like Kayda Kanoon, Waqt Hamara Hai, Main Khiladi Tu Anari to showing his romantic side in Dhadkan, Dil to Pagal Hai to owning the Housefull series, Akshay Kumar’s journey in Bollywood is a classic example of hard work and dedication.
