With all the hype and spotlights surrounding the celebrities, it's really surprising when we discover lesser known facts about them! From Shah Rukh Khan to Salman Khan, and Sridevi to Sushmita Sen… read on to find few facts of some well-known celebs, which we found really intriguing!
Oprah Winfrey: Oprah Winfrey sure has led a life which has inspired many. After she was sexually harassed by her family members, she landed her first job at radio while she was still in school, as a newscaster. But she began her career as a news anchor and reporter for a television station in Nashville.
Johnny Depp: While Johnny Depp has stolen several hearts with his impeccable characterization of every role that he has performed till date, we believe he must have stolen many, as a kid too! He fronted a series of garage bands including The Kids, which once opened for Iggy Pop. His friendship with the once lead guitarist of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, John Frusciante, is quite a lesser known fact too!
Robin Williams: While there is no doubting Robin Williams’ flawless acting skills, a lot of it was probably cultivated at his first job as a street mime performer! And well, he has also had a classical Juilliard dramatic training. Now we know where that amazing screen presence stems from.
Robert Pattinson: You can love him, or hate him, but you sure as hell can’t ignore him! He has melted several hearts with his role as Edward Cullen in the movie Twilight. But not many of his fans know that he can play the piano as well as the guitar and sing too! He has even played the piano and sung for the Twilight series.
Sridevi: Shree Amma Yanger, commonly known by the name Sridevi, began her acting career at the age of four! But she loves to explore her creative side with her paintings. She dedicates around 4-5 hours every day to hone her passion for art. One of her paintings called Thoughts was even recognised by an international art auction house!
Konkona Sen Sharma: Ranvir Shorey recently spilled a well hidden fact about Konkona Sen Sharma. Who would have guessed that Konkona is the kind of girl who loves music jam sessions?! She even plays a bit of the guitar! We can already see her singing lullabies to her baby, strumming those chords.
Sushmita Sen: While this beauty queen has always let out her artistic side through her films, there is another intellectual side to her which not many people are aware of. She loves to write poetry! She probably inherited this art from her maternal grandfather who was a poet.
Amitabh Bachchan: While it may be hard to picture Amitabh Bachchan as anything else but an actor, the fact is that after completing his education, he was working as a freight broker in a company called Bird and Co., in Kolkata, a job which he quit to pursue a career in acting. Thankfully, with his debut film Saat Hindustani itself, Amitabh Bachchan made it big as a star, and Bollywood found one of its biggest legend!
Dimple Kapadia: Apart from acting in movies, Dimple Kapadia owns a candle making company called “The Faraway Tree”. She took up candle making after she read a book on it. Once she got hooked to this activity, she went all the way to Wales to attend a candle making workshop and began her company as a professional candle maker.
Salman Khan: Most of Sallu’s fans and friends in the industry know him as an avid painter who often gifts his paintings to his close friends. This hero, who turned into a painter overnight, has even sold a painting for a whooping price of one crore! He is extremely possessive about his paintings and often likes to narrate the stories behind the paintings.
Sonam Kapoor: Who doesn’t envy the star kids for being born with silver spoons in their mouths, right? But not every celeb kid has had it easy. Sonam Kapoor recently confessed on a chat show, that she became independent at the age of 15, when she took up a job as a waitress in Singapore as her parents only gave her a meager allowance!
Akshay Kumar: Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia was a young boy who worked as a waiter in Bangkok. But then his friend suggested that with his good looks and physique he should take up modeling as a career. And thus Rajiv Bhatia began his journey towards fame and finally made it big as the daredevil Akshay Kumar in the Bollywood industry.
Hrithik Roshan: Very few people know about Hrithik Roshan’s penchant for photography. He has an extensive collection of photographs from since the time he was 12! Even as a kid, he would never travel without his camera and made sure to capture every big event of his and his close ones on lens.
Shahrukh Khan: While we have seen him ruling the hockey field on-screen in Chak De India!, and seen him managing a cricket team in IPL (off-screen), not many of his fans know that this Khan loves it dirty when it comes to football! He often goes to the American School of Bombay ground at Bandra-Kurla complex every Sunday to indulge in a good game of football with his Bollywood buddies. He even took his kids and family to the FIFA World Cup last year.
