Education and acting talent are two different entities altogether but ever since real-estate prices shot up in Mumbai post 1995 after the benefits of liberalization, privatization and globalization reforms in 1991 trickled in , then it was no longer possible for penniless small-town guys to make it rich in Bollywood as it used to happen till the 70’s and 80s. Engineers, doctors, chartered accountants, who had got good jobs and learnt the nuances of their profession, began making a move to Mumbai after acquiring sufficient cash to last through the initial days before they hit the jackpot.
The best part was that modelling, TV, endorsements, radio, and of late social media had all become equally big and interesting. Those who were cinematic failures quickly moved to TV and made it big there. By the year 2000, even top actors had starting testing the waters of TV and they tasted huge success. Even female actors who entered the industry made sure that got it right on the career front before diving into the big bad world of films.
Yes, education is a tool for upward mobility in India and the ability to make money anywhere in the world comes from good skill-based education. We do not often find educated Bollywood stars. This is a fact the following actors knew quite well and only after completing their education did they venture into films.
He has a double major in science and was working in Kolkata in the 1960’s where he met Ramola Bachchan who later married his brother Ajitabh. His education gives him the ability to take correct decisions, retain his discipline and still serve the industry at 74, eliminating the concept of retirement age.
Another popular star from the film fraternity,John completed his masters from Narsee Monjee Institute of Management studies before making a foray in films.
Nephew of Aamir Khan, he did his masters from the Los Angeles branch of New York film academy before coming to Mumbai.
He has a graduation in electronics and was actively involved with the NCC i.e. the National Cadet Corps before stepping into the film industry.
He is an engineer by training and has majored in electronics engineering from Yashwant Rao Chauhan College of Engineering in Nagpur.
Actor who got fame with the “Vicky donor” movie has studied English honours from DAV college Chandigarh and mass communication from Punjab University.
Undoubtedly, one of the most bubbly stars in the film industry, whose energy can charge the atmosphere wherever she goes. Not many people know that she holds an English honours degree from ST Bede College, Shimla and a master’s degree in criminal psychology as well.
She takes the cake in terms of education as she was trained to be an investment banker at Manchester Business School. Where she majored in three subjects business, finance and economics, until recession played spoilsport with her investment banking plans. She was quick to adapt to the situation and switched to Bollywood without wasting any time and became a star overnight with her first three films setting the cash registers ringing at the box-office.
