Currently, Radhika Apte is ruling parallel cinema. She is becoming the first choice for the filmmakers who want to experiment with their films. The actress, who is impressing everyone with her performances, was a theatre actor before turning her ways to Bollywood.

Kalki Koechlin

This Bollywood beauty simply steals out hearts when she acts on the big screen. But, before entering the world of Bollywood, she was a star in theatre industry. The actress still continues doing theatre along with films. Kalki has not just acted, but has also written and directed a few plays.

Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan is currently ruling Bollywood. However, not many know that before shining on the silver screen; he did theatre for a long time during his Delhi days.

Making a mark in Bollywood is not an easy task. There are many people who fail in the industry because they are not up to the mark when it comes to acting. So, a lot of people try to learn acting while doing theatre.
