Bollywood Actors Who Debuted Together & Their Careers In Comparison

Bollywood is a funny world and we will never hesitate to admit it! While it has taken people to places they never would have imagined, it also has brought a lot of people crashing down on earth. From giving us one film wonders to potential waste of talents, cinematic choices have always played a major role in determining the career graph of any actor.

In this special feature, we thought about comparing the career graph of stars who started around the same time. So we sat down and studied their careers to understand who ended up with what from this beautiful world of cinema. Here’s an exclusive comparison of 7 pairs of actors who have made a mark in some way or the other:

Shah Rukh and Ajay have rarely gotten along well. Interestingly the two superstars had also started around the same time.  While SRK got a hit one of his early movies Deewana, Devgn took off on a high with the super hit Phool Aur Kaante. Almost 25 years down the line, here’s where they stand in comparison:

The two biggest superstars of Hindi cinema also started almost together in the late 80’s. While both Salman and Aamir are fairly dissimilar in approach, style and substance, the two still hold an unmatchable stardom.

The tale of two extremes happened in the year 2000 when both Hrithik Roshan and Abhishek Bachchan made their debuts with Kaho Na Pyar Hai and Refugee respectively. While Hrithik became an overnight star, Abhishek had to struggle for a long time. But the latter has beaten Hrithik in one area, find out where:

Ranbir Kapoor was threatened bigtime after Imran Khan debuted with the super successful Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na just a few months after the former debuted with Saawariya and failed. Almost 10 years down the line and the game has changed completely in terms of everything:

While the two made their debuts together with Student of the Year, one must admit both these young actors are doing quite well. However, Varun Dhawan is on another level high with no flops in his kitty whatsoever.

Two of the single screen favorites also made their debuts together. While Emraan banked bigtime on his initial image, John had to work his way up that had a lot to do with his looks. If one studies their career closely, there isn’t too much of a difference with both having done equal number of movies along with hits and flops.
