Hindi Film Industry is like an ocean. As many rivers finally join the sea and lose their individuality, many artistes from all over the country join this industry and then lose their identity. Few are lucky and Talented who not only protect their identity but are also remembered for a long time. What happens to the artistes after they end their career ? Where do they go, what do they do ?
