This time in Bollywood film industry, you can see many new faces. Daily you can hear of new entry of some actor or actress. Is this the end of old names that were enjoying on the hearts of the peoples from a long time? No it is not. If you are thinking so then you are wrong.
It is a common saying that old is gold and this statement fits right in Bollywood Hindi Cinema also. In the list of more earning actors, you will see older names also, even more than new comers, like Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan instead of Shahid Kapoor or Deepika padukone.
However, it is not easy to make a place in the Indian cinema. Some stand due to their family background like Shahid Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan. But it is not the only fact. There are many more examples in front of us like Katrina Kaif who was born in Hong Kong but now I think she is on top in the list of Indian actresses. Malika sherawat once said in an interview that she does not belong to any rich family or any type of filmy background. She is from a small village of Haryana (a state of India) and stands in Bollywood by her own efforts only. Here we are giving a list of Highest Earning Bollywood Actors or Actresses::
