7 Bollywood Stars Who Went Bankrupt

1) Preity Zinta

Bollywood’s original bubbly girl was supposedly in a financial crisis after her production house’s maiden film ‘Ishqk in Paris’ failed miserably. Matters worsened when Abbas Tyrewala, who had scripted the film, threatened to press charges against Preity. Salman Khan helped bail Preity out of trouble.

2) Govinda

Raja Babu confessed that there was a time in his life that he didn’t even have the money to travel by an auto rickshaw. But thanks to Salman Khan who made sure that their film ‘Partner’ got made and released without any hassles. It was this film which helped get Govinda out of bankruptcy.

3) Jackie Shroff

One of the most successful actors of his time, Jackie faced financial troubles as soon as he stopped receiving film offers. In fact, he even took a loan from Sajid Nadiadwala in 2008 which he couldn’t repay on time. It was Salman Khan who saved Jackie from further humiliation and stopped Sajid from pressing charges.

4) A.K. Hangal

Veteran actor A.K. Hangal was so broke that he couldn’t finance his own medical expenses; and neither could his family. Sudden media coverage helped gather some money from the Industry and several stars pitched in to help. He passed away at the age of 95.

5) Anupam Kher

The actor, who has a great body of work, recently confessed that he started his famous acting institute “The Actor Prepares” because he was broke. He started with a mere 12 aspiring actors and today it is one of the most renowned acting institutes in the nation!

6) Amitabh Bachchan

The Shahenshah himself lost not only his throne, but also his kingdom when his dream company ABCL went bankrupt. He was so deep in debt that he had to put up his home for mortgage. But being the hero that he is, he adapted to the changing times and moved to television. KBC became a success and Amitabh soared like a phoenix!

7) Shweta Basu Prasad

Everyone remembers Shweta as the National award-winning actress from movies like Iqbal and Makdee, and also from the TV show Karishma Ka Karishma. But that image shattered when she was busted in a prostitution racket in Hyderabad. She supposedly took these steps in order to provide for her family. 

This simply proves that bad luck simply doesn’t care if you are a celebrity or a commoner.
