Bollywood actresses and their charismatic beauty always make into the headlines. But, with the shift in the paradigms of the Hindi film industry, now we have seen the actresses taking up the lead roles in movies and coming out with flying colours. These days, the actresses are breaking the pre-conceived notions about their male counterparts being better than them and are acing their roles in the female-centric films. 

However, most of the leading actresses in the film industry didn't start their career in the glamour world with acting. Initially, they used to work as models and etched their names with their talent and modelling. With that said, the divas, who have a net worth of crores, had started their journey with a meagre modelling fee. So, without further ado, let's have a look at 5 Bollywood actresses, who began their career with modelling and find out how much money they had got for their first modelling gig.
