Bollywood actors who became poor
AK Hangal
The Sholay actor had become so poor that he did not have money to even pay his medical bills. And he had to take financial help of Rs. 20 lakh from his co-star Amitabh Bachchan. This shows that side-actors are paid peanuts in bollywood as compared to main leads. Unlike Hollywood, where every actor in a movie is given due importance.
Shweta Basu Prasad
The daughter of Parvati in ‘Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki’ or the little chunni in ‘Makdee’’ or ‘Khadija in ‘Iqbal’, Shweta was a huge child star, but in the greed of earning more and more money she got into a sex racket in her early adulthood, which in turn made her more poorer.
Though she has bounced back from that now and was recently seen in bollywood movie ‘Badrinath ki Dulhania and other south movie and also starred in a hit Star Plus daily soap, ‘Chandra Nandini’

Raj Kiran
