Survival in the Bollywood industry can be a daunting task, with success often eluding even the most talented individuals. Many are forced to endure intense struggle, but sometimes, taking a step back and exploring alternative paths can be the best decision. This is precisely what happened with a popular celebrity, who initially embarked on an acting career in the entertainment world. Despite facing a string of failures, she wisely chose to reassess her journey and pivot, embracing a new direction that has potentially opened up fresh opportunities for her.
Twinkle Khanna, daughter of legendary movie stars Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, began her career in the movie industry as an actress. She began her career with the film Barsaat, then a series of films such as Badshah, Jaan, Mela, and Joru Ka Ghulam. Though she began early, most of her movies failed to meet expectations at the box office, and so she experienced more flops than hits. With a string of flops behind her, Twinkle took the brave step of quitting acting and seeking new pastures.
