Pankaj Tripathi To Shah Rukh, 13 Actors Who Started Out With Small Roles Before Shooting To Fame

6. Irrfan Khan

Irrfan Khan played a cameo in Mira Nair’s Salaam Bombay. However, his part was cut short to a blink-and-miss role in the final cut. In an interview, he said, “I remember sobbing all night when Mira told me that my part was reduced to merely nothing. But it changed something within me. I was prepared for anything after that.”

7. Nimrat Kaur

Nimrat Kaur shot to fame with her appearance in a Cadbury Silk ad. But prior to that, she was featured in music videos. One of them was Kumar Sanu’s lovely song, Tera Mera Pyar.
