How to Be a Bollywood Star
India produces a tremendous amount of cinema, and the Bollywood brand is its largest source of income, with its stars elevated to god-like status. Once one becomes a Bollywood star, one can pull in huge salaries and stay in the public eye for decades on end, such as 62-year old Amitabh Bachchan, who has been considered a Bollywood heartthrob since 1973. Becoming a Bollywood star may be difficult, but the large salaries and public adoration make it all worthwhile.

Tips & Warnings
Make connections. Once you live in Mumbai and have properly trained in dance, acting, and singing, consider entering talent competitions and beauty pageants. Many stars are plucked from these venues. Consider appearing on television or as a model in print ads.
Becoming a Bollywood star is similar to becoming a star in America. The competition is high and often parts go to Bollywood "dynasties"--family members of other stars. Therefore, once you establish yourself, continue to stay in the public eye. Promote your image by appearing on magazine covers and endorsing products. A star can rise and fall based on the success of one movie, so make sure to pick films that are of a high quality with vast commercial appeal.
