 Hello there, how are you? I'd like to say adieu. Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you. Bum-ba-da-dum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum. Hey, welcome back to our Stupid Direction SimCorps. I'm Julianne Juice. You are not. I actually am. I transitioned. You are not. And you follow us on Instagram, Twitter for more juicy content thanks to Patreon for those good accounts. Oh yeah, Patreon. Button. Uh, Andrani, who is the, uh, some famous Indian actors who started in TV shows? There's one. Shwo-stiga. Yeah. Sure. Soap operas. Yeah, sure, why not. Anyways, this is a video called 10 Famous Bollywood Actors Who Started The Couriers on TV Shows or Serials. Okay. I don't know how common it is in India because here, it's very common. That's actually, for the longest time, just where you started. Uh, either, um, um, soap operas obviously was very common back in the day. Back in the day. Not so much anymore. No. Um, but often you start as guest stars. Yeah. It was like the transition point. You'd start on TV and then you'd transition to film. Yeah. So like Tom Hanks started on Buzz and Buddies. Robin Williams started on Mork and Mindy. They just, you can go, the, it was, that was the transition, especially in the 70s and the 80s. But I'm guessing since TV wasn't as big of a thing in India until more recently, uh, OTT platforms now. Yeah. Uh, it's probably not as common, I bet. Yeah. That's a good question that I don't know the answer to. And Drani would know, but she would only know partially because she watched, she grew up watching American TV. Yeah. But this is, uh, from a channel called tried and refused productions. Uh, I liked them a lot there. Uh, they do reviews and different kind of videos like these as well. These aren't just celebs who were on TV. These are celebs who got their starts. Yeah. On television, on television. Here we go. There are some extremely inspiring stories when it pertains to some individuals making it big in the Indian film industry. Discussing something that seamlessly transition from television to the big screen here is tried and refused productions with 10 famous Bollywood celebrities who started their careers on television serials or shows. Aditya Roy Kapoor. Before Aditya Roy Kapoor charmed audiences in movies like Asha Ki Do and Yeh Javani Hai Diwani, he actually was a very well known DJ on Channel V. My hair used to be like that. He was a VJ. Ah, that's interesting. The actor who is all set to appear in the 2017 film Jodhvatu actually made his acting debut on a television show on Door Darshan called Mungeri ke bhai Norangilal. Beautiful picture. In the last two years including Azhar and Rock on 2. But before the actress made her breakthrough role in rock one and once upon a time in Mumbai, she was a very well known face on Indian television before transitioning into the film industry. The actress appeared in the TV show Kasam se. She was cast as Bani opposite TV actor Ram Kapoor. A lot of the TV shows look like. So poppers. Lot of Mungeri poppers. Yeah. In terms of his acting career with successful movies like Bareli ki Barfi and Shubh Mangal Saabdan, the actor who made his Bollywood debut with Vicky Donor also started his career doing a number of jobs before impressing us on the big screen. He won the second season of the reality TV show Rodies at the early age of 20. Rodies. He was a radio jockey at Big FM New Delhi. He also became a VJ for MTV for a short while hosting shows such as Pepsi MTV, What's Up, The Voice of Youngestan. The actor also did his fair share of hosting reality TV shows, including India's Got Talent, Music Ramahamukabla and Just Dance. He was famous for taking up challenging and eccentric roles in Bollywood, more or less paving the way for women's edict movies in the 21st century. He also started her acting career on television before charming us all on the big screen. At the age of 16, she starred in the first season of Ekta Kapoor sitcom Hampanj as Radhika, a Paraku teenager. That's her. Alright B. That's the only one we haven't seen, I think. They all look like soap operas. The lighting. Yeah. He's so talented. It's so sad. Wow, this is great. I had no idea. I'm guessing Shah Rukh Khan is going to be one. He also went on to act as a ship's captain in Seahawks and worked as a television anchor in Toul Mool Ke Bol. Shah Rukh Khan. Aha, movie number one. Salman or like... Big B. Big B? Babyface. Babyface. Let's go. For further appearances in Aziz Mirza's television series Circus and Money Calls mini-series Idiot, his journey to Stardom is still one of the most inspiring. Before we discuss the last actor, here are some honorable mentions. Must be somebody pretty big to beat Shah Rukh Khan. Right. Irfan Khan. I want to see that television show. And movies include Chanakya, Chandrakanta and Banegi Apni Bhat. Nice. I had no idea about the majority of them. The one that's most surprising is Irfan. I wonder how many have actually... Because I bet Nawaz was struggling for so long. A long time. I'm wondering if he was in TV shows. Probably as bad guys. Little small bit parts. But also I feel like in India it happens more than it does here where nobody will kind of get their big break a little bit. I feel like it just happens all the time. Like somebody with no credits, like this was their first film and they just came onto the scene and took it over by storm. Not that that was Nawaz's story. Obviously I read his book and he struggled. And all that kind of stuff. But yeah, I did not know Irfan. No. I heard that Shahrukh Khan did. Right. And Johnny. As did obviously and Johnny. And Johnny knew that. But yeah, I know Vidya Balan. Yeah. I wonder... Yeah, you guys let us know. How common Ayushman is it? It is very... We both... Obviously Rick was a famous child actor. Yeah, I come if you don't know. My first job was television. Yeah. He was on Little House and the Prayer. No. But funny, I just got two checks. I got a $10 and a $4 check for Little House on the Prairie. Oh really? Yeah, I still get residuals for Little House. I make like $20 a year off of Little House residuals. Oh wow. Oh, it's amazing. Damn. Yeah. Make it the big box. I'm rolling in it. So normally if you're just a nobody actor here, you can get like somebody like a nobody actor. Getting a guest star on a TV show. Yeah, you are more likely to get TV roles than you are film roles. It's still hard to get regular TV roles. Oh yeah. That is extremely difficult still. If you get a guest star on a series, you're usually casting directors we'll want and producers. Because it's all about eyeballs. They're like, how known is this person? Correct. That is the most important thing. Even over talent, sadly, a lot of the times. Is like, obviously, so they've done 10 guest stars. Right. On many different popular shows. Right. So I think we can trust them with this small, regular, reoccurring role. Correct. And if it does well, we'll see how it goes. Yes, even a show, for example, when they cast The Office, they wanted unknowns. Which I wish they did more of. But that didn't mean they wanted inexperienced. So everybody that was there had credits and had already been up for shows, had landed pilots that were canceled. So these weren't green people at all. It's a very famous audition reel on YouTube. You can look it up. Like Seth Rogen auditioned for The Office. Yes. Michael. And like all these extremely famous people now. Same thing with SNL auditions. But weren't as famous then. Yep. Auditioned for The Office. Yeah. And so it'd be really interesting to know how many, I bet Pankaj did. Would not surprise me at all. Or did they start in theater and then maybe they... Maybe, like I was just thinking about that in terms of... But I bet people in India, the casting people, do not give two craps about theater on your resume. For TV? Yeah. Oh, yeah, no. I'm sure they don't give a crap. Unless it's Broadway, they really don't care at all either. No. What matters, actually what matters, it matters in film if you have theater training. So like I know the reason Austin got Elvis was because Baz saw him on Broadway in a two-person show with Denzel. And when he auditioned him, he gave him not a piece of script from Elvis. He gave him a clip, a piece, some sides from a Tennessee Williams play. Because he wanted to know that the person taking on this role could act. Yeah. And so... Obviously. But for TV? Yeah, no. No. Especially sitcoms. That was really interesting. Fantastic video. Very. Please let us know any of that information that we asked for. Any other videos from Tired and Refused Productions that we can react to that you think we would find interesting. Yeah. And if you need any white people for your TV shows, let us know.
