All The Bollywood Actors Who Left The Industry To Pursue Alternate Careers!

The film industry is flooded with fresh faces who travel from lands far away with wide-eyed dreams of making it in Bollywood. But the truth of the matter is that an actor's career graph is non-linear and completely unpredictable. There are a few one-hit wonders, while others have earned success after struggling for years altogether. So keeping your options open in such a volatile industry is a great idea. We've rounded up a list of stars who quit their acting career to pursue greener pastures elsewhere. How many did you know about?

 
 

1. Twinkle Khanna
 
 
Being the daughter of Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, Twinkle was *meant* to join Bollywood at some point. She made her acting debut in 1995 with the movie Barsaat, and went on to act in a bunch of films including Badshaah, Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan and Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega. However, owing to the lacklustre success of her career, she quit acting after she got married to Akshay Kumar in 2001. Now popularly known as Mrs Funnybones, she has a thriving career as an author, newspaper columnist, film producer, and interior designer. 
 
2. Mayoori Kango
 
 
This actress might not be a known face anymore, but she previously starred in popular movies including Papa Kehte Hain, Betaabi, Hogi Pyaar Ki Jeet, Badal and Papa the Great. While she started her Bollywood career in 1995 with the National Award-winning film, Naseem and even starred in TV shows, she later decided to leave behind the glitz and glamour of the industry. After getting married to NRI Aditya Dhillon in December 2003 she shifted to the United States and pursued an MBA in marketing and finance. She now lives in Gurgaon, and has joined Google India as its Industry Head – Agency Business!
 
3. Dino Morea
 
 
Dino started his career as a model and later branched into Bollywood with his film Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi, which failed to create a buzz on the box office. Soon after, though, his career took off and he acted in several successful films including Raaz and Jism 2. However, his career later seemed to fizzle out and although he has made a couple of appearances in movies in the past few years, he now owns and runs restaurants across Mumbai.
 
4. Shilpa Shetty
 
 
Now known as Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Shilpa's career began as a model when she was a teenager. After appearing in several television commercials, she made her acting debut with the 1993 thriller, Baazigar. She appeared in several blockbusters after, including Main Khiladi Tu Anari, Jaanwar, Dhadkan and Life in a...Metro. She shot to international fame after she won British reality television series Celebrity Big Brother 5. She married businessman Raj Kundra in 2009, and now co-owns an IPL team with him, besides being a reality show judge, an animal rights activist and a yoga guru.
