The small and the Silver Screen are worlds apart but interestingly, a lot of Bollywood stars began their careers on a humble note through daily soaps, while some also took baby steps to success and started from commercials.

There is no doubt that people connect to TV more than Bollywood as TV actors, in comparison, are more accessible and relatable for the audience and we watch them almost on a daily basis via serials.

However, stardom associated with films is far more than that of the television industry, which is why a lot of TV stars aim to finally make it to Bollywood.

Here are six Bollywood actors who started their careers from TV-

1. Shah Rukh Khan
