Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan
All the big stars who are heartthrobs of millions of Bollywood fans have some time in their lives thought of taking up something else as their profession before becoming an actor. Of course, many actors always dreamt of being on the silver screen. Nonetheless, many others never had the same clarity and it took them a few years to realise what they wanted to take as their career.
A few of the 90s stars shared what they would have chosen as a career if they had failed to become actors at the Filmfare Awards 1991.
Neelam who rose to fame with Love 86 when asked about her career choice apart from acting, happily said that she would have loved to become a kindergarten school teacher. A surprised Shekhar Kapur even probed her further but Neelam maintained that since she loved kids, being a teacher to small children would have been her first choice.
Even Aamir Khan would have become a teacher if his movies had not done well.
The Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak actor said that he would be lost if he was not offered acting assignments. But later on divulged that he probably would do nothing and just travel around the world meeting millions of people, and staying with them.
Emergency actor Anupam Kher seems to be very keen on being an actor and said that he could not have been anything but an actor. He even jokingly stated that if failed to get acting assignments he would rather be a jobless actor than pursue any other career.
The Kapil Sharma Show fame actress said that she took admission in Lady Sriram College in Mumbai because it had the biggest Tennis Table. So she would have been a Table Tennis player or even an English lecturer in college.
