Several prominent Bollywood stars have experienced dramatic financial downturns despite their earlier successes. Amitabh Bachchan faced a major crisis in the late 1990s when his company, Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited, collapsed under debts of nearly ₹90 crore (approximately $11 million USD). He described the year 2000 as one of his toughest, with no films or money. However, he made a legendary comeback through the game show Kaun Banega Crorepati and films like Mohabbatein. Similarly, Raj Kapoor, known for his iconic films, suffered financial ruin after his ambitious project Mera Naam Joker failed, forcing him to mortgage assets before bouncing back with the hit Bobby. Jackie Shroff faced a financial crisis due to unsuccessful projects, requiring him to sell properties and seek help from industry friends. Govinda struggled to find work after his peak, leading to financial difficulties, but regained popularity with the film Partner. Other stars like Preity Zinta and Anupam Kher also faced setbacks from failed productions but successfully rebuilt their careers. Their stories serve as cautionary tales about the volatility of fame and financial management in the film industry.
