Exploring the entrepreneurial journeys of popular TV actors who have successfully ventured into diverse business arenas.
Actors like Simple Kaul, Arjun Bijlani, Aditi Malik, Kushal Tandon, Sargun Mehta, and Ravi Dubey have also ventured into business as an alternative career. It's often said that actors face a limited career span, making their lives unpredictable and fraught with insecurities. As a result, many have chosen to pursue alternative careers, becoming entrepreneurs by opening restaurants, lounges, and fine dining establishments.
While numerous actors get caught up in the glamor of the entertainment industry, some prefer to ensure a stable future by establishing secondary businesses. However, the trend of diversifying career paths has gained momentum in recent years, with more actors investing in various ventures outside of acting.
