It is rare to find actors and actresses who give as much of an importance to education as to their acting careers. It is seen more often than not that stars leave their education midway in their pursuit of fame and artistic satisfaction. Still, there is surely a different magnetism in educated actors. Here is a list of top 6 highly educated Bollywood stars.
1. John Abraham
The model-turned-actor’s forte is not his Greek God-like looks alone but also a sound educational background he possesses. He studied at Bombay Scottish School, Mahim, in Mumbai and got his bachelor’s degree in economics from Jai Hind College. Thereafter he obtained a degree of Master in Management Sciences from Mumbai Educational Trust (MET) in 1998.
2. Amitabh Bachchan
The Superstar of the Millennium and the angry young man of 1970s, Amitabh Bachchan is truly one of the most educated Bollywood stars. He is the son of renowned author Harivansh Rai Bachchan so it wasn’t surprising that his was an education-inclined upbringing. He graduated from the Sherwood College in Nainital, and later went on to do a double major in Science and Arts from the Kirori Mal College in Delhi.
3. Soha Ali Khan
Perhaps Soha Ali Khan’s most notable role was as Sonia in ‘Rang De Basanti’ but this Bollywood actress of royal lineage did complete her education before embarking on the journey as an actress. The daughter of Mansoor Ali Khan and Sharmila Tagore and the sister of Saif Ali Khan and Saba, Soha attended The British School in New Delhi and Balliol College, Oxford. She also earned a Master’s degree in International Relations from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Undoubtedly, she tops the list of most educated Bollywood stars.

4. Preity Zinta
The dimpled Bollywood beauty, who has always awed us with some brilliant performances, could well be termed as a diva with a perfect blend of beauty and brains. The co-owner of the Kings XI IPL Franchise first pursued an English (Honours) degree after which she joined a graduate programme in psychology, and later even earned a post graduate degree in Criminal Psychology. So, she is not only talented in the acting department but is also amongst very well educated Bollywood stars.
5. Vidya Balan
Vidya Balan is undoubtedly one of the best actresses ever to have graced the silver screen. With numerous award-winning and critically acclaimed performances under her belt, do her academic records really matter? Well, perhaps not, but it does accentuate her status to the standards of those for whom education is as important as the dream of excelling on the silver screen. This beauty from down south holds a major in sociology and a master’s degree from the University of Mumbai.
