MUMBAI: Hindi entertainment and telly fames have mostly embarked upon their showbiz journey through debut roles. However, few well-known artistes have done it the other way round, i.e. they claimed fame in the industry only after appearing on the small-screen through talent-hunt reality shows. On top of that, many of these stars have featured in two or even more reality shows, wherein they flaunted their other talents altogether apart from their skillful acting-chops.
Let's take a note of some of these talented telly fames who left no stones unturned to turn into popular household names:
