Hence, his tremendous work in the Bollywood industry, not only makes him the best actor but the self-made Bollywood actor.

Shahrukh Khan

Shahrukh khan will be the athlete if he is not an actor. Before starting his acting career, he was fully indulged in sports. In one of his interview, he told that a nasty injury ended my career in games, that why I was choosing up an acting offer. This acting offer was given to Shahrukh khan by his neighbour. He firstly acted in TV series- “Fauji”, and after that, someone noticed him so well, he got immense opportunities in Bollywood. He also told” One evening, while I was eating roadside Biriyani in Bandra, producer Vivek Vaswani bumped into me and asked if I’d do movies. The next day he took me to GP Sippy, and I signed five films in one day.”

Sushant Singh Rajput

Sushant Singh Rajput is a remembering actor. The audience can’t forget him. He has done so many good films. From an outsider to a superb actor, his contribution to the film industry is praiseworthy.

His M.S Dhoni: The untold story was the blockbuster hit. He contributed too much talent to this Bollywood cinema. Sushant was a genius in Physics. In one of his interview, the actor told:-

“After an initial phase of the struggle, I got noticed once I landed the lead role in Ekta Kapoor’s daily soap Pavitra Rishta. But I wanted to do films, so I quit the show and was jobless for many months and like a true struggler worked at various coffee shops. And then, Kai Po Che happened, and my life changed.”
