From Rajinikanth, Dilip Kumar to Shah Rukh Khan, many Bollywood actors overcome their intial struggles to become the superstar they are today. Another such actor, who has given several blockbusters and has made his place in the hearts of the audience, once used to sell jewellery on streets.
The actor we are talking about is one of the richest and highest-paid actors in Bollywood now. He lives in a luxurious mansion worth Rs 80 crore and has a swanky collection of cars. He is none other than Akshay Kumar.
Akshay Kumar revealed in a recent interview that he started working at the age of 15. He further added that he used to work as an "errand boy" for a travel agency in Calcutta and got his first salary as Rs 150. He further revealed how he switched jobs and then finally when he came to Delhi, he used to sell jewellery on streets. He told Curly Tales, "When a person is not educated, he will of course strive and do something. This was the only job that I got. After that I went to Dhaka, there was a hotel there. Then I went to Bangkok, then Delhi. I worked in Delhi. I used to sell artificial jewellery in Delhi. I used to purchase jewellry in Delhi and sell it here in Bombay. If I got the jewellery for Rs 20,000, I used to sell for Rs 24,000."
He also earlier revealed in an interview with Pinkvilla that when he started working in the entertainment industry, he didn't even have Rs 200 in his pocket. He used to live in a rented house. However, the things have now changed.
