Celebrities Who Rose From The Rock Bottom

Mahendra Singh Dhoni:

Breaking the myth that sportsmen in India need something more than playing skills, Dhoni emerged as the real sportsman. Dhoni took interest in his cricket career only after completing his 10^th standard. He initially excelled in badminton and football however his wicket keeping skills were extraordinary. He became a regular wicket keeper at Commando Cricket Club. He comes from an ordinary family with an ordinary lifestyle unlike his other co-cricketers. Prior to making a block buster entry into full time cricket, Dhoni worked as a Train Ticket Examiner at Kharagpur Railway Station. As a child he was passionate about joining the Indian Army and thanks to the captainship, he was given the honorary Lt. Colonel rank in the Indian Army.

Rajinikanth:

Moving to the Thalaiva of South India, like the emperor Shivaji who later became the Chatrapati for the people, Rajinikanth who was born as Shivaji Rao Gaekwad emerged as Rajinikanth in Tollywood. From collie, to a carpenter, and a bus ticket conductor, Rajini did several odd jobs on the way to being the star in the Tamil movie industry. Besides this he had been a struggling artist who gave several stage performances on and off in Bangalore and the then Madras. He was a passionate actor who worked hard to be the star he is today. Veteran Tamil director visualized the bankable actor in Rajinikanth and the rest as they say is history. In spite of being honored as the god of Tamil industry he doesn’t forget his roots and carries a humble and highly respected personality.
