Sushant Singh Rajput, Prachi Desai, Ram Kapoor: Are dance shows the new ticket to stardom?

While being a reality TV star calls for persistent efforts and luck, maintaining the popularity and monetary gains that comes along is also an uphill struggle. But there have been several celebrities whose careers saw a meteoric rise after their stint in reality TV.

He has several offers up his sleeve. Actress Prachi Desai, who kicked off her acting career with popular TV show 'Kasamh Se' in 2006, won 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 2' in 2007. It was her win that helped her venture into Bollywood. In her debut film 'Rock On', she starred opposite Farhan Akhtar. She has romanced Emraan Hashmi in 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbai', Abhishek Bachchan in 'Bol Bachchan' and John Abraham in 'I, Me Aur Main'.Before he got the chance to work in 'Bade Achhe Lagte Hain', a show that has expanded his female fan base, Ram Kapoor got several prominent films.
