We’ve often wondered how our favourite stars made it big at such an early age. The truth is, some of them dropped out of college to pursue acting and modelling, while others were homeschooled.

Compiled from Times of India, here is a list of seven Bollywood actors that didn’t complete their education and seem to have no regrets whatsoever.

1) Salman Khan

Bollywood’s bhai did his schooling from St Stanislaus High School in Bandra, Mumbai. He then attended St Xavier's College but dropped out to start his career in the film industry. Surprisingly, he had already written three film scripts, even when he hadn’t started acting.

After studying commerce for two years at Mithibai College, Mumbai, Bebo enrolled herself at Government Law College. But after completing her first year, she decided to switch fields and began taking private lessons for acting. Guess it wasn’t such a terrible choice on her part, was it?

3) Deepika Padukone

The Piku star has won many hearts with her tremendous acting skills and infectious smile but unfortunately, had to leave her education in between. She enrolled at IGNOU for a Bachelor of Arts in sociology, but quit soon after to kickstart her modelling career.

Due to Katrina's mother dedication towards social causes, the family had to travel a lot. Constant relocation to different countries never gave this beauty queen the opportunity to attend school. So Katrina was homeschooled by a series of tutors. Can you believe it?

5) Akshay Kumar

The Khiladi enrolled himself at the Guru Nanak Khalsa College in Mumbai for higher studies, but after a year he dropped out to study martial arts.

After completing her schooling from Jamnabai Narsee School, Alia started her career as an actor in 2012 with Karan Johar's movie Student of the Year. Ironic isn’t it, since according to Alia, she was never really a good student and was always interested in outdoor activities instead. She surely got what she wanted!

7) Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Aishwarya was extremely talented as a kid. She is a trained dancer and also has studied classical music for five years. She initially planned to pursue a career in medicine, but then she enrolled herself in the Rachana Sansad Academy of Architecture. Later on, she dropped the idea to pursue a career in modelling.
