The industry is full of tales of young members who come to the fore and face rejection, nepotism and casting challenges. Meanwhile, there are also attempts to preserve the image of Bollywood, which is a completely different ball game. Even the biggest faces such as the legendary Amitabh Bachchan or the famous Khan family or the well-known Kapoor family state that there are always hurdles even for the greats.
Bollywood is an ever-tough battleground which requires constant dedication. Such is the case for any newcomer. It takes ages before one succeeds in the film industry starting from endless attempts of auditions, running short of money, wanting to be on screens but being forever overwhelmed by the critics reviews every Friday. It is the same cycle that either makes you a star or breaks your heart.
All these popular stars have had failures and career threatening periods. It should be add that hard work and strength of will were nothing special for them. Amitabh Bachchan, for example, suffered bankruptcies and received flops with his films, only to confound critics later on. There also have been cases when Khan and Kapoor have gone through downs in their careers, pivoting and re-establishing their standing in the dynamic industry.
“They’ve accomplished so much; created myriad of classics and made countless blockbusters. So if one or two movies doesn’t perform well, who cares. Their collectors are very solid, and this is the reason why the effort behind them is very solid. That is why They ignore one or two anomalies in all of theirs in lifetime,” says filmmaker Ramesh Taurani.
However, these stars have something special, which is the ability to emerge phoenix-like from the heap of no and failure. Insiders and close aides often tell how these stars managed to good bye this gloom period and came out and bounced back. Their narratives exhibit the bling of Bollywood but also the boldness in their want to survive the changes. Their journey is narrated below by industry insiders and close Bollywood aides.
“Shah Rukh Khan Pay Succeed As Much Money As He Will Want However His Movie Is Not Call Success”
In the same vein, Shah Rukh Khan’s career path was upturned whn his film zero, released in 2018, was a box office failure. The film was an absolute let down for Khan as it failed to bring in the target audience despite having lead actresses of the likes of Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.

His improvement is a testimony of his persistence and a ‘never-say-never’ approach.
Those who know SRK since the 90s like Vivek Vaswani provide the perspective of this particular actor as an Olympian who is impossible to take down. Moment first: It is worth emphasizing that moments are unexpected — in growth, every smart and insightful businessperson can comprehend, foresee, strategize and set forth plans. Shah Rukh Khan is indeed a smart and insightful businessman One of the most marvelous professions in this world — business — was very well planned in his head.
“Even then, in such a period of crisis, I do not care even if the film doesn’t get made but there is no negative for anyone. If they did, he would repay them and build trust and value for his company. Otherwise you know how to circle around the business. Too love how delicious that sounds, but too bad that it doesn’t work.” It does not relate any of these qualities with opportunities or such elusive concepts like perseveration or discipline etc.
‘Fans stand by Salman even at his all time low point.’
To understand the clout of Salman Khan, just step out to his house during the time of Eid or his birthday. Fanatic bunch stood outside Galaxy Apartments waiting to either get a look or touch their favorite hero. But even in hope to see this hero in person, these very same fans sometimes don’t want to go and see their films at the cinema theatres.
Of late, Salman Khan has had a number of disappointing results as an actor and also as a producer for some time now. Films like ‘Notebook’, ‘Bharat’, ’Tubelight’, ‘Radhe’, ‘Antim’ and ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ have failed miserably to perform and attract crowds. No matter how interested the audiences were, the films in question did not bring in a decent amount of revenue.
Salman Khan’s polling day surprise: Shakes hands with women with disabilities, snaps with the police and fans.
As for the filmmakers, Ramesh Taurani, he cannot withstand this demoralizing situation for long stating that this is a temporary weaker phase. He said, “Salman Khan is a mass hero, a class hero and has done films of all genres – romance, family drama, action or comedy. He is a thorough actor and that is Why a niche of his fans keeps Him active ever though there are lags. He’s the biggest star in the country now, regulating few misses does not come into play. Some critics learned their lesson when nazism came several years ago but magic and Britain were some.”

Amitabh bachchan disability my working returning in Bollywood is something no few movies or near the end few more their showing everything. Hardly actually lifts imaginations limited forces bright future despite more been labelled the Angry Young Man until now is downturn and biggest money topped even downturn some initial taxes because despite.
The nineties was perhaps the worst period in the life of Amitabh Bachchan. This decade was certainly much more crisis ride for the Bachchan clan, the owners of AB Corporation which went into heavy debts and then into oblivion. In an interview with Vir Sanghvi, Bachchan admitted that he was looking for an initial order for 900 million rupees and that loanees would almost every other day appear at his doorstep. ‘I do not blame but it so pathetic and shameful.’
Remembering this particular ordeal, Big B also said: “At one point of time in my life, I was a bankrupt. The television production house that I had set up made losses, I was a debtor, and there was no money in my individual account. I was in bed with no avenues to earn income which I had been looking for. It was close down and the police came to my house.”
When Amitabh Bachchan’s debt Rs 90 crores
The Box Office must have gone awry but the self-belief and his faith in himself and his craft was unshakeable. He is fill with self-assurance, commitment and immersion. In the initial phase, he faced a lot of difficulties, achieved various heights, and after conquering the peak, went through several low points. But even this failure was not the end, and he struggled hard to detach himself from such a situation.
He is a warrior and I keep telling him, the warrior never loses. Even now, his selection is awesome even to him. He has been in the books of history of Indian cinema. He still has the quality of humility and total devotion to work which he has picked up from the lessons learnt through crushing lows and amazing highs.
Speaking about his film ‘Mrityudaata’, Gulnara’s heroine noted that “I An ineffective Big B could have his career rejuvenated with reality television to 2000. It turned out that such a chance was up for grabs and it was a big change for him.” Returning to the profession and regaining lost ground, Amitabh continues to lead the program which is know by his name even now that is one of the reasons for his success.
This year, Amitabh Bachchan, together with Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Ka She shines who is surround by stars like Kamal Haasan, delivered one of the biggest grosser of 2024, at the same time, of his career. ‘At his age, the main task is to fit into that particular role in that particular motion picture. Just because Kalki has worked with him, that does not mean five other people at least will be able to announce films with Daddy – with Bachchan.
He needs to portray those powerful roles in some powerful movies. This movie only goes to establish the fact that he is an acting god and will remain so. He is rather the only person of his time who can move with the times which is why they so. Every person relates to -him. He is, what I can….in this fast world and fast changing world this is what he is. Certain age. People of all ages feel that I’m making out. Looking back in history.
I feel awkward and miserable: Aamir Khan
The impeccably perfect and the exceptionally incredible Aamir Khan also had to accept the defeat. His last released album, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha,’ sank so low that ‘it annoyed and it made him angry’, Aamir himself pronounced. Reactions to the film were one of the biggest blows Aamir suffer after hitting a string of successes and inspires hopes as a hitmaker. While talking towards the end of his career, Aamir acknowledged that he devoted too many efforts on pictures which impinged on his family life.
“About two and a half years ago I understood that I got too deep in my passions and that is why other important things, relationships, suffered. I was anxious and miserable. If it was not for my kids, I would have perhaps walked out of the movies. I was frustrate and irritated with the film and its politics.”
About two months after that change, Aamir’s cinema passion has not gone down a notch. He has almost completed shooting the next one. The Christmas season will welcome another blockbuster from Aamir with Sitaare Zameen Par. A constant drive for creating films meant Aamir was not able to keep him away from the set for a long time, in spite of the fact that it was difficult to balance so different spheres, which are professional and private.

Any of these motivational tales instills in one “the spirit of perseverance,” and can create loads of positivity.
