We get that education is important, but the major problem in India is that many Indian parents push their push into unwanted fields, which is why many of us (including me) end up with engineering or medical degrees without any interest in them. While some of our beloved Bollywood celebs have completed their education in their favourite fields before starting their film journey, there are many that never graduated. It’s a surprising list, honestly.
1. Alia Bhatt
This cutie did her schooling from Jamnabai Narsee School in Mumbai, but did not go to any college; instead, she started her Bollywood career with Student of the Year.
