Some are born into it, while others have to struggle. We're talking about those hopefuls who dream of making it big in the big bad world of Bollywood.
Not everyone is a Kareena Kapoor, whose impressive filmi lineage carries its advantages.
But then there are the lucky ones like Deepika Padukone whose debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om is the stuff dreams are made of.
A launch by a big star like King Khan can do wonders to one's career and Deepika's is growing by leaps and bounds. Another actress who benefitted from SRK's presence in her film was Priety Zinta (Dil Se). The actor will launch another new face this year, in Aditya Chopra's directorial venture, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
So we decided to look back at the newbies who benefitted from their super co-stars.

Remember this one? Ram Gopal Varma's film about a crush between a 63-year old and a teenager created a furore when it was released.
All the hullabaloo however propelled the leggy teen to overnight stardom. Her next project is for another famous star, Aamir Khan in Ghajini.
