While no one decreases the importance of education, sometimes life’s conditions force one to take some moves that might not always go well with dropouts or with anyone and also with the socially correct idea of success. It doesn’t matter what people around you might say; there is always dream of being something if you just try powerful enough and work tirelessly. These dropouts celebrities and their stories prove just that with their fame and their destiny:
Sachin Tendulkar
The God of Cricket only studied up to 10th standard. His immense skills on the field, however, were apparent much before that.
Azim Premji
The chairman of IT giant Wipro and silver-haired industry genius dropped out of college and started operating the company at the young age of 21! With a net worth of 19.5 billion dollars, he hasn’t done too bad for himself it seems.
Smriti Irani
India’s ex-HRD minister and current allegedly only studied up to class 12. Shocking, considering she was in charge of the Education Department of the Government, though there are reports that she did a commerce course in 2013.
Mukesh Ambani
From dropping out the MBA program and went on to become the Managing Director of Reliance Industries. He proved the saying right, i.e., there is a right a time for things to do. He is also secured rank 1 in India’s Richest 2017 list of Forbes. Not bad at all.
Kapil Dev
He is one of the most famous Indian cricketers of all time. Regardless of everything he achieved in his life; education has always been important to him. He has once declared that his one regret was that he dropped out of college.
Aamir Khan
One of the most critically recognized actors of the Bollywood business industry, Aamir is one more example of someone who chose college was not for them. He studied up to class 12, and then enthusiastically followed his passion for acting, and guys, are we thankful.
Mary Kom
She made her Boxing career by dropping out her school life midway. Continued practicing and conquering boxing. She is now India’s premier female boxer. She, a few years ago went back to complete her education though, explaining she’s a knockout inside and outside of the ring as well.
Gautam Adani
Leaving his Commerce degree halfway, Gautam went on to begin his own diamond brokerage business apparently named Adani Group. With a net worth of around 8.81 billion dollars, it’s almost not surprising that he was once kidnapped by Anees Ibrahim and recovered for 3 crores!
Aishwarya Rai Bacchan
She dropped out halfway through her college architectural course but completed her schooling in Mumbai. The title of Miss World doesn’t specify, however, as she proved by going on to win it later in her life.
Salman Khan
The big brother a.k.a. Sallu Bhai and once for a while loverboy prem of Bollywood is one of the most prominent artists in the country, but he didn’t go to college either. Sallu and all his real brothers preferred only to finish school and then continue their passions.
Akshay Kumar
It seems Akshay Kumar is overqualified for pretty much everything with his black belt in martial arts and a natural knack for acting. Isn’t it? But, the evergreen actor did leave college before finishing his graduation in Mumbai.
