You know that Bollywood is the biggest film industry in the world!. It is much bigger than Hollywood!. It is also in a country that is much bigger than the U!.S!.!.!.!. much bigger!. That all means more competition!.

In Bollywood being a triple threat is almost a must according to the research I have done!. At least a double threat: acting and dancing!.

At any rate, to have a good chance to beat the competition I would start from the very beginning and build your base first!. Start training hard as an actor and a dancer!.
You will need talent and some really good networking and business skills to get in there, not to mention the help of your parents if you are under age!.

Have a look at this page on my site for new and aspiring actors!. On it you will find links to 23 different pages that have to do with different aspects of starting an acting career including how to start your acting career step by step, 23 reasons why taking classes and training are so important, how to get an agent (which may or may not be different from what you need to do in India, but it will give you an idea as to what is possible), 17 things you can do to start getting acting work (again, you will have to apply that to Indian standards) and 29 different ways to promote yourself!. http://www!.actingcareerstartup!.com/teen_!.!.!.

also, on the menu of the site you will see a link about Bollywood!. On that page you will find 10 tips for getting started!. They come from an Australian actress who has made it there!.

Good luck!

With all due respect, anyone in the craft knows it is the second largest film industry on the planet, not a slander on HOLLYWOOD in the most strict sense, and as a "DREAM" might it not seem logical,,,IF YOU AREN'T local to that,,, TO GET THERE!?

Since you omit all the details regarding where you are, etc!. HOW can WE possibly advise, since you may have come to Q&A, USA!?!?!? OR you've submitted the Q using the FLAG icons at the bottom of the page!.

Beyond that, and again, no offense meant, but if you think of it as a "JOB", perhaps you should find other "JOBS" that may not equate to passions!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
