The path to success is never easy. It's always lined with a number of hardships and sometimes failures too. But once you reach the pinnacle of success, everything that comes before it seems worthwhile. Here are some Bollywood celebs who struggled in the most unbelievable way before making it big: Akshay Kumar served as a chef and waiter in a restaurant in Bangkok. He then returned to India and became a martial arts teacher. His first modelling assignment was brought by one of his students.

Zeenat Aman, after all her movies failed miserably, was all packed to return to Germany with her mother before Hare Rama Hare Krishna came her way.

Amitabh Bachchan was rejected by a radio company many times, and used to sleep on a bench on Marine drive during his struggling days.
