Bollywood celebrities are frequently associated with fame and a lavish lifestyle, but their lives are not always easy. Actors frequently put their money into ventures that do not yield the expected profits. So, here is the list of the top Indian celebs who went bankrupt and spoke about their financial struggles in public.

  1. Govinda

After years of success, actor Govinda's dominance in Bollywood came to an end, and he received no offers for three to four years. The celebrity became indebted and even sobbed in front of the media. His comeback film, 'Partner,' starring Salman Khan, was critical to his financial recovery.

  1. Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan poured his heart and soul into 'Ra.One,' a 150-crore film co-produced by his wife Gauri Khan. However, when the film bombed at the box office, the actor was left with little. He is said to have signed blank checks during the film's production. 'Don 2' and 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan,' on the other hand, proved that the actor was still relevant and financially beneficial.

  1. Jackie Shroff

Veteran actor Jackie Shroff revealed that he took a loan from filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala in 2008 and was unable to repay it on time due to a string of flops. He was also said to have sold his real estate holdings in order to deal with the financial crisis. Salman Khan came to his aid once more, rescuing the actor from a financial crisis.

  1. Preity Zinta

Preity Zinta made her Bollywood debut in 2013 with the film 'Ishkq in Paris,' which she produced through her own company. However, the film did not perform as well as expected at the box office. As a result of the film's failure, her financial situation deteriorated. Salman Khan, a personal friend, and Bollywood star, intervened to assist her in escaping the situation.

  1. Anupam Kher

Anupam Kher, a veteran actor, stated in 2004 that he started his acting school to get out of debt. He also claimed that he had failed in every aspect of filmmaking and had gone bankrupt. He started acting school in a room with only 12 students.
