Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, despite being born into a prominent film family, faced significant challenges at the start of his career. He began with minor roles and struggled to establish himself as a leading actor. Saif made his industry debut with Parampara and later had to actively seek character-driven roles to gain recognition in the competitive film industry.
