Bollywood is a powerhouse of talent where you either are remembered for your work or are soon forgotten. While everyone dreams of becoming a star which brings them fame and money obviously, some of Bollywoodâs big names have enjoyed a bigger inning in their real life over the one in reel life. Here are 8 actors who might not have managed to make it super big in Bollywood but are pretty big business owners in real life.

1. Bobby Deol

Despite not having many movies in his kitty, this handsome man enjoys a stellar fan following. He is known to be a wonderful person off-screen and even though he became a celebrity DJ not a very long time ago, he has many sound investments in place which keeps him busy.

2. Arjun Rampal

The talented actor has done some cool work on screen but his hard work off screen is fabulous as well. Arjun Rampal brought the uber cool party place LAP in Delhi a few years ago when the party culture was still catching up. He also has an event and talent management company to his name.

This is also the epitome of procrastination as what I need to do right now is put down another 500 words and finally submit my piece to the rather scary @tweakindia copy chief:) #DiwaliModeOnWorkModeOffA post shared by (@twinklerkhanna)

4. Suniel Shetty

Anna has his own fan following but has lately been away from the screen. He is arguably one of the fittest actors in the country and champions the cause to pursue a healthy lifestyle very well. He owns a few dining bars in Mumbai, has his own production house named Popcorn Entertainment, and is also known to have ventured into real estate. In fact, he is one of the best businessmen who shifted focus from the reel life to make his real one a bigger success.
