From what may come across as a very glamorous life full of pomp and glory, our favourite Bollywood celebrities have had to push their way into success to be where they are today. All of the celebrities who entertain us on a daily basis and win our hearts did not begin as A grade actors. They started their career behind the camera. Their flourishing career they have today and the wonderful hold on acting that they have grasped came after a long time of struggling and getting to know about the nitty gritty that is required in acting.
Some famous actors of this today from whom we derive our inspiration to struggle in life “kyunki picture abhi baki hai mere dost”, started their career as assisting directors. It is through this field that they learned all about acting because not everyone had the luxury of a dad who would push them into the film line. Surprisingly, even some of the actors from the renowned acting families have also worked as assistant directors. Here are some of the actors who made it to B town the hard way:

Yes, Arjun Kapoor worked as an assistant director in movies like Shakti, Kal Ho Na Ho, and Salaam e Ishq.

He has been known for his perseverance. He is that superstar of B town who has not taken his stardom too seriously, which has helped him flourish in his field. Even though he had a father who could have pushed him directly in front of the camera, but he chose it the other way. Very serious about his role as film maker, Hrithik Roshan assisted his dad in movies like King Uncle, Karan Arjun, Koyla and Khudgarz.
Sonam Kapoor – The Fashionista Has More In Her Than Just Fashion

This pretty lady is more than just a pretty face. We have no doubts about her acting skills after her powerful performance in Neerja. But we admire her a little more when we got to know that Sonam Kapoor assisted Sanjay Leela Bhansali in Black and also in Saawariya. So, this leading lady of B town definitely knows the ABC of her work.
It is true that real talent is never wasted in B town and these superstars are living examples of this fact.
