Arjun Kapoor was savaged at the AIB Knockout for having failed class 12, but he isn’t the only Bollywood celebrity who doesn’t have an academic accomplishment to boast of..
Aamir Khan – He might come across as the most intelligent person in Bollywood, but let me tell you that Aamir, who studied HSC from Narsee Monjee College in Mumbai barely attended classes. And since he was never interested in studies, he didn’t even try to go to a college and straight away tried his luck in showbiz. And well as we all know he definitely is the most shining star in tinsel town now with some of the all time biggest movies to his name.
Akshay Kumar – The
Baby actor studied at Don
Bosco and at Guru Nanak Khalsa College at King’s Circle in Mumbai, but
he was never too much into studies for he was more active in sports. He
dropped out of college and went to Bangkok to study martial arts. And
his skills in martial arts certainly helped him to make it big in
Bollywood.
And now the actresses. There are many.
Deepika Padukone – After schooling at Sophia High
School in Bangalore, Deepika joined Mount Carmel College, Bangalore. But
she gave up studies for modelling and acting. She enrolled with the
Indira Gandhi National Open University’s Bachelor of Arts course in
Sociology but never completed it.
Bipasha Basu - Bipasha did her schooling from Bhavan’s Gangabux Kanoria Vidyamandir in Kolkata. She studied commerce at Bhawanipur Education Society College. Chartered accountancy was next on the agenda but winning a beauty pageant put a halt on further studies.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan – Aishwarya studied at Arya
Vidya Mandir High School in Mumbai, and then went to Jai Hind college
for a year. She switched to Raheja College to study Architecture, but
left it midway to pursue a career in modelling.
Kareena Kapoor - For Kareena, school was Jamnabai
Narsee in Mumbai, then Welham in Dehradun. Kareena studied commerce for
two years at Mithibai College in Mumbai. She also registered for a
three-month summer course in microcomputers at Harvard University in the
United States. After a year at the Government Law College in Mumbai,
she realised Bollywood was her calling.
Kangana Ranaut - Kangana did her schooling in Himachal
Pradesh. Science was her subject since she wanted to become a doctor.
She never made it to medical school. Instead, she moved to Delhi and
joined a theatre group called Ashmita.
Katrina Kaif - Katrina was born in Hong Kong. After her
parents divorced, she moved to China and then Japan. She has lived in
France, Switzerland, Poland, Germany, Belgium, Hawaii, and eventually
her mother’s home country England. She lived in London for three years
before moving to Mumbai. She started modelling when she was 14.
Naturally, all that moving about left little time for any academic
qualifications.
Alia Bhatt - . She completed her high school from
Jamnabai Narsee School IBDP in May 2011. But she didn’t attend college,
all thanks to that offer from Karan Johar for
Student Of The Year.
Kajol - Kajol never completed school; she left St
Joseph’s Convent in Panchgani, a hill station near Mumbai, and started
her acting career with the film
Bekhudi at the age of 17.
Karisma Kapoor - Karisma was no scholar either. She studied at the Cathedral and John Cannon School in Mumbai till the sixth standard.
