Amitabh Bachchan (height, Looks, Voice)

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 Mukerji (height)

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.  Also Read - Childhood vs Adult Lymphoma: Differences In Causes, Diagnosis, Treatment And Survival Rates

Hrithik Roshan (extra Thumb)

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.

Madonna (smile)

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.

Nandita Das (dark Skin)

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.  Also Read - Colon Cancer No Longer An 'Old Age' Disease: Experts Warn Of Deadly Surge Among The Young

Georgia May Jagger (tooth Gap)

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.

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.

Vidya Balan (weight)

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.
