Hello everyone! I am a 19 year old latino in the usa and was wondering how the actors in bollywood get into bollywood? I mean is it like here in the states where you have to go to a big city, read the paper and just try out for stuff?

well there is always the casting couch way

but since you are a latino kid, I don’t think that will work

maybe check with karan johar, I think he might be in to that type of thing

I think most come in through modelling work or family. Some come in though through acting schools and stage plays experience.

this is the most accurate on so far, though if you don't have family ties, it is HIGHLY unlikely that you will become a "STAR"...meaning, you won't get lead roles.

but haha @ mola ram!

I can't really recall to many male stars after SRK, who have come through the ranks, but there seems to be an explosion of scantily clad females entering the industry and it would be fair to say non of these actress have the talents of the maduri's/sridevi's/Kajol's.

Now whether their getting in through hard graft and determination or the more obvious and easier route of Casting Couch, is debatable.

It's a shame that shakti Kapoor had to be set up in order to expose this wide spread problem, but if it helps clean up the bollywood industry, then the guys and gals who prey on the vunerable need to be exposed!

But I think if your a guy and you really wanna make it in Bollywood without the Godfather of connections, then Mola ram said it best
