        The former Miss World, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is successful, elegant and well-spoken, but one
        thing that you might have that she doesn’t is a college degree. Being an average student, Aishwarya
        attended Jai Hind College for a year and later switched to Rachana Sansad to pursue architecture.
        She eventually left midway as she was o ered several high-end modelling assignments.

5 Priyanka Chopra
        Priyanka Chopra is one of the most sought after actresses in both the Bollywood and
        Hollywood industry. Prior to her glamorous career, she wanted to become a criminal
        psychologist and so she subsequently joined Jai Hind College in Mumbai. Soon after
        modelling and beauty assignments came her way, this former Miss World too had to leave
        college before completing her graduation.

6 Salman Khan                                                                     8 Akshay Kumar
        Most famous for his Dabangg series, Salman Khan                                   Akshay Kumar a.k.a. Mr. Khiladi
        dropped out of Elphinstone College after his second                               completed his schooling in Don
        year there due to unknown reasons. Though he’s                                    Bosco, Mumbai before entering Guru
        achieved tremendous success, his political                                        Nanak Khalsa College where he was
        viewpoint and morals in life are questionable                                     unable to nish his programme as
        to some. We wonder where he got this                                              he started getting involved in martial
        ‘gyaan’ from?                                                                     arts lessons in Bangkok. Known to be
                                                                                          a good student, Akshay realised that
     7 Aamir Khan                                                                         further studies was just not his thing.
                                  Best known for his perfectionist personality,
                                  it’s surprising to know that a person of Aamir
                                  Khan’s calibre decided to discontinue his
                                  studies after passing the 12th grade from
                                  Narsee Monjee College in Mumbai. Instead,
                                  he chose to assist his uncle Nasir Hussain.
                                  His movies may be about revolutionising the
                                  education system, however, his own list of
                                  quali cations end short.

9 Sushant Singh
        Which engineering student quits a prestigious college in his third year? We have the answer for
        you, Sushant Singh Rajput. Initially beginning his career as a TV star, Sushant dropped out of
        Delhi College of Engineering in 2006 to pursue acting despite being a bright student. Recently,
        he was approached by his university for an honorary degree on their 75th anniversary. How
        many of us can say that we got a degree despite being a drop-out?

10 Tiger Shro
              Coming from a Bollywood background, Tiger Shro
              never imagined himself as a college student. Just
              after his 12th grade board exams, Tiger gave up on
              his studies. With abs to die for and incredible dancing
              skills, he decided to concentrate on a career in
              Bollywood instead and never ended up even
              enrolling into a college.
