Known as India’s living legend, Amitabh Bachchan faced much flak for his unusual looks, height and his baritone. He had to face many rejections for the same until he made his mark as a hero and became Bollywood’s ‘angry young man’. Now, he is known for his distinct voice, his lean frame and good looks – the very same things he was written off for in the beginning.
Rani proved her mettle as an actress in films like No One Killed Jessica and Talaash but she made her debut with biggies like SRK and Kajol in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai where she played the college’s most popular girl. Despite being short, Rani could pull off such a role. She’s never let her height hinder her good work and her beautiful eyes and acting skills certainly make up for this flaw.
Girls want him and guys want to be like him. Hrithik Roshan floored everyone with his charming looks when he entered Bollywood. But the actor did have his set of flaws – an extra thumb in his right hand. The actor did not try hiding it, rather considered it his lucky charm. One can see his extra thumb in movies like Krrish, Dhoom, etc. The actor also had a stammering problem which he overcame with time and speech therapy.
Kajol isn’t really much of a fashionista but one trend that she effortlessly set off from the time she entered Bollywood is that of her unibrow. Though it’s become lighter over the years, you can still see the faint line on her forehead.
Her moves and fashion sense always make a style statement but this pop diva has a flaw which is visible every time she smiles – the gap in her teeth. Even at 55, she is fit, beautiful and flaunts her toothy grin without worrying about the gap. This too has become a style statement of sorts.
In a country where only being fair-skinned is considered beautiful, Nandita broke the mould by taking part in a campaign called ‘Dark is Beautiful’. Though being dark-skinned isn’t a flaw, it is refreshing to see actresses like her accepting their skin colour. There are various dusky beauties in the industry like Bipasha Basu and Konkana Sen Sharma who are strikingly beautiful, busting the myth that only people who are fair are good looking.
The fashion world reeks of perfectionism when it comes to looks. Slim figures, set of pearly whites, etc. But Georgia who is now one of the top British models, flaunts her wide tooth gap with much elan. Her blood red lipstick only enhances her imperfect teeth on bill boards and magazine covers.
Belonging to the Royal family would mean you are prim and proper in every way but Prince William proved otherwise. As the entire world watched him get married to his love Kate Middleton at the Royal wedding, they also witnessed the growing bald patch on his head. Though has the means to cover his baldness from the world, he did not hide it from the world even on the day of his wedding.
They may not see each other eye-to-eye but one thing that the top Khans of Bollywood have in common is their height... or the lack of it! Be it Aamir Khan, Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan – all three are at the top of their game but aren’t the tallest actors you’ll see. Even so, they have made to the top and are the reigning kings of Bollywood since the past 20 years.
The style diva of Bollywood Sonam Kapoor openly confesses about her weighty issues and her struggle with cellulite, saggy skin, facial hair despite losing ample of kilos. Though she looks stunning in her photo shoots, she does not hide the fact that she still has the same issues that most girls her age do.
The actress can pull off a variety of roles be it of a mother, a sex siren or a housewife. But she was often criticised for her weight and voluptuousness. The actress inspired thousands of women to embrace their curves and flaunt them in a sari instead of hiding and worrying about them. She often speaks about loving her body the way it is and not trying to get a size-zero figure to fit in.
Padma Lakshmi who is a successful model, host, author and actress, has a deep gash on her arm. It is a 7-inch long scar from a car accident she suffered when she was 14 years old. The model does not try to cover it up with make-up or any surgery and has left it for the world to see when she wears sleeveless gowns or tops.
The world maybe obsessed with attaining the perfect looks and bodies but there are a few celebrities who flaunt their flaws with pride. Instead of covering it up given their popularity, they show it off without any hang-ups, proving no one can be perfect, not even celebrities. Here’s a list of 12 such celebs.
