8. Johnny Lever

Can’t imagine our movies without this guy! He left school in class 7 due to financial constraints and did small jobs to serve as a helping hand. Johnny imitated Bollywood stars and danced on Mumbai streets to sell pens. He spent some time in Hyderabad, honing his skills as a comedy actor. Today, our movies are incomplete without him.

9. Arshad Warsi

Yes! He is on this list as well. Before he made it big as Circuit, Arshad Warsi led a tough life. He lost his parents when he was just 14. He discontinued his studies after class 10 as finances didn’t allow him to study further. At the age of 17, Arshad worked as a door-to-door salesman for cosmetic products. He emerged a winner in the end!
