Even a single actor's performance can fascinate you to the point where you don't realise you're idealising them. Many people look up to and are inspired by Bollywood actors, but it is not because of their lifestyle or the wealth they have. Their breakthrough onscreen performances propelled them to the top. It takes sweat, blood, and dedication to become the dream of many, and the league or class they establish does not come with a single performance. The hustle that many Bollywood actors have put in can be seen in the way they now appear. To honour the hustle of Bollywood actors, here's a comparison of how they appeared in their first film and how they appear now:
