Jack of all trades, master of none!

This used to be an old saying, but times are changing and like how!

Now you’re expected to be a master of all trades if you have to survive the roller-coaster ride of life in Bollywood. Just being an actor is not enough guys, with so much of uncertainty and insecurities you got to make sure to don various hats to survive and live a luxurious life. Being a businessman is one of the options that an actor has today and so many of them are running their business empires so amazingly that one wonders if these actors are actors or businessmen? Let’s talk some of the biggest Actors Businessmen of Bollywood:

1) Shahrukh Khan

He is the King of Bollywood and undisputedly the biggest businessman of Bollywood as well! Not only has he stakes in media companies, his interests go as far as real estate in the Middle East too! With one of the best post-production and graphics studio in the country, SRK’s company, Red Chillies Pvt. Ltd. is also into producing some of the biggest movies! How can you leave out his Kolkata Knight Riders being one of the most profitable sports franchise in IPL? The list goes on and on and on..

2) Salman Khan

Darling of the masses earns millions from his movies alone, but his charitable acts are also gaining major traction. His home grown brand, Being Human is really growing fast and giving tough competition to other apparel manufacturers. Even though it is for charity, but ultimately it is a business which is helping a charitable cause. This business at the moment may not be enough to compensate for his earnings from films, but the future does look very bright!

3) Shilpa Shetty

When she is not teasing and seducing her fans with her latkas and jhatkas, this long-legged beauty is busy running her businesses comprising of Spas, Fitness DVD’s, line of Perfume and the most famous, IPL team Rajasthan Royals! With her real estate magnet hubby, Raj Kundra, Shilpa has managed her post-Bollywood career with great style!

4) Sunil Shetty

Anna, as he is famously called may not be the best or even an average actor, but his business acumen is second to none! He has varied business interests comprising of producing movies under his banner Popcorn Entertainment, running chain of gyms across India, and a series of boutiques under the brand name of Mischief. Apart from having a share in the restaurant business of Mumbai, he has recently ventured into real estate with his company S2 Reality for developing luxury projects! Whoa!!

5) Ronit Roy

He started his film career as a hero, but failed miserably and went into oblivion for a long time. However, he didn’t sit idle, but started a security agency by the name of Ace Security. Now, after making a comeback on TV and becoming one of the biggest superstars on the medium, he is also credited for making his security company one of the biggest in Bollywood. He is responsible for giving security to stars like Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan and many more biggies! That’s called a super successful business, isn’t it?

The list of actors joining the business brigade is growing faster than ever.

Let’s hope these guys succeed in their endeavours, but firstly should keep us entertained!

Are you reading this standing right outside your gym or while walking on your treadmill?

Or is it in between the bench-press sets?

Well, do your exercise and build that amazing physique as it is always good to look good and stay fit and healthy. However, if the objective to painstakingly build 6-pack abs is to become an actor in the TV industry, then you’re in for a rude shock!

Great Physique isn’t a must to make your mark in TV!

Don’t believe us?

Look at the careers of Ram Kapoor, Ronit Roy, Mohnish Behl and you’ll realise the irony of the situation.

First of all, these guys are not young boys, but grown up men and none of them has a delicious body which would make women drool over them.

Secondly, all these are extremely fine actors who are able to hold on their ground despite competition coming on to them from all directions!

It is not easy to survive beyond one or two shows as a lead actor in TV simply because the appetite of the audience to watch new fresh faces is huge!

Still, these actors have made their mark, are getting new shows one after the other purely for the fact that they are able to get their fans hooked on to them, no matter which show on what channel. And no, it has nothing to do with their body, but body of work! These guys are some of the highest paid actors on small screen and work on their own terms and conditions as per their convenience.

This is not to say that good looking hunks are no more required or that great physiques are out of fashion. It is there and going to be in vogue, but to command success and stay right on top of your game, it requires much more than physical appearance. Only and only talent can help to reach great heights and stay over there!

Every year so many new shows are launched and so many boys debut on the idiot box, but just after a few months of the run time of most shows the very same hot looking dudes are found out of work with no one betting on them again. The success of a TV show depends on various factors and blame can’t be entirely put on the shoulders of the young boys, but one thing is for sure: if the actor is really talented and is able to get audiences hooked on to his presence on camera, then he will never be a slave of shows, rather he would be in demand no matter which show he is part of.

A great physical appearance may get you noticed and even get you some work in initial days, but it might not help to sustain the interest of audience for long.

The best thing to do then is to invest on talent and let physical grooming be a part of it instead of being the ‘be all’ of it!
