Fame is something that can instantly get to one’s head and transform that person forever. We all must have heard about a cocky celebrity once in a while but today we are talking about the most down to earth celebrities in India.
We’ve curated a list of the most down to earth celebrities in India who are renowned for their humility and leading a simple life:
