Being successful in anything you do is never a cakewalk. Lives of the successful might look bright and beautiful but even they were once at a stage wherein fame and goals were a far game for them. Rejections are just a milestone of reaching to the top of the hill. Many acclaimed Bollywood actors were also once rejected but their consistency and hard-work led them to where-ever they are today. Here is a list of Bollywood actors who were rejected at the beginning of their career but won us over with consistency: 

1.     Ranveer Singh

Ranveer Singh was once rejected for having âaverageâ looks and we wonder what that means. Heâs the countryâs heartthrob today and has given many Bollywood blockbusters to his audience to hold onto for a lifetime. Also, his fan base proves that we all love him and canât get enough of him.  

2.     Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma was initially rejected for not having the âBollywood looksâ. However, with her work and the choice of her films, she proved how she is meant to be in the industry. The actress also started her own production house and is continuing to do great work in Bollywood.  

3.     Nawazuddin Siddiqui

Nawazuddin Siddiqui has impressed us all by his stellar performances in Bollywood but he too was rejected several times for having âcommon man looksâ. During his initial years in Bollywood, he struggled around stepping a firm foot in the industry and getting the recognition that he deserved.  

4.     Irrfan Khan

Irrfan Khan created his own niche in the country. His fans skipped a beat as soon as the news of his demise went public. In the early years of his career he was rejected by many directors for just his looks. He is the only actor who has been able to make it big in both Hollywood and Bollywood and has given us some amazing movies to re-watch. 

5.     Amitabh Bachchan

The Bollywood megastar was once rejected by All India Radio for his voice. During his initial years, he was also asked to play the role of a man who couldnât speak. And today, he is famous for that wonderful authority in his voice and we can't imagine the industry without him.
