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. Sushant Singh Rajput, who was earlier seen in show 'Pavitra Rishta', appeared in 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 4'. Even though the actor couldn't win the show, he has become popular. While 'Pavitra Rishta' helped him display his acting skills, 'Jhalak' put forth his impeccable dance moves. His performance in 'Kai Po Che' helped him win roles in Aamir Khan's 'Peekay'. 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. The list of films he was seen post his reality TV stint such as 'Karthik Calling Karthik', 'Udaan', 'Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu', 'Student Of The Year', 'Mere Dad Ki Maruti' - is indeed impressive.
