Mumbai: Nepotism has always dominated the Indian film industry, the talk of which has been rampant since Kangana Ranaut’s onslaught at Karan Johar on ‘Koffee with Karan.’

However, the truth is it’s not just the star sons and daughters, but many who have made it big in Bollywood without any godfather.

On one hand, there was Shah Rukh Khan who flourished purely on his acting talent, on the other hand, there were scores of them who shot to limelight through their modelling endeavours.

We recently got our hands on a video featuring some of these celebrities who went from the ramp to a film set.

In the video from 1990, we see Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Namrata Shirodkar, Milind Soman, Arjun Rampal, Mark Robinson, Pooja Batra, Himanshu Malik, Rahul Dev, Madhu Sapre and others who ventured into films, walking the ramp.
