We bring to you the audition videos of popular Bollywood actors before they made it big on the silver screen.
You just can't simply get up one fine day and be a part of a film. There's a process and it's only after you have cleared your auditions, screen tests and impressed the makers with your speech, acting and other skills like dancing etc that you might be considered for a role. And while that may sound easy, it's actually not!
But have you ever wondered how did your favourite actors get their first big break? While some may say that 'nepokids' have it easier than the other, which many actors themselves have agreed to, mentioning that they might have it slightly easier in landing a role in a film but thereon their journey is just like any other actor and their success and failure is in the hands of the audience, but not everyone has it easy, not even some star kids!
