While many actors dream of being in the showbiz world with a passion for their craft and a zeal to enjoy the glitz and glamour of the industry, a few people do realize their calling only later. Many notable actors in the industry left the showbiz to pursue their calling in various other industries. 

Today's pick is Dill Mill Gayye actor Mayank Anand, who played the character of Dr. Rahul in the show. Anand continued his brief stint in the industry and also got married to Krishna Arjun actress Shraddha Nigam. However, he quit showbiz because of his inclination towards business. Anand has received a lot of recognition in his business and has also won awards for the same.
