It is often said that when one gets success in life, one should be humble as an unsuccessful life makes stars do many undesirable things. Everyone wants to become a star and one such actor was Mirza Abbas Ali who worked hard to achieve his dreams. However, his stardom was short-lived as when one gets overwhelmed with the seed of success it does lead to certain failures. Mirza was a great actor back in the ’90s but he could not handle his stardom that made his career end. The actor had the opportunity to even share screenspace with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

According to a report by DNA, Mirza, for now, is living anonymously in New Zealand. He had become bankrupt and reportedly also worked as a toilet cleaner and a taxi driver. Mirza got to work with many big stars like Mammooty, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Tabu and many more. Mirza once was very famous in the entertainment industry and gained immense fame after his first movie. He had worked for reportedly 20 years in the industry and also played a small role in Shah Rukh Khan and Kamal Hassan’s movie, Hey Ram.
Mirza’s break was with Kandukondain Kandukondain where he was seen with Aishwarya Rai and Mammootty in the romantic drama movie. South star, Ajith Kumar and Tabu were also there in the movie and it was in 2000 when he was known to be one of the great stars of the Tamil movie industry.

Why did Mirza Abbas Ali start cleaning toilets?
A report by DNA also stated that after being given a Tamil film with Tabu, Abbas got fame overnight. However, his career tanked when after a couple of years his movies started flopping at the box office. Filmmakers then stopped giving Abbas work, and in an interview, he also confessed to facing a financial crunch. Due to this reason, he went off to New Zealand as he was so bankrupt that he could not even pay the rent of his home. Abbas then had to return to work as a toilet cleaner and mechanic and had to do odd jobs in order to earn a living.
Abbas’ dad wanted his son to be an engineer as the actor was studying mechanical engineering. It was at that time when modelling interested him and it was in 1995 when he came into the world of modelling. Abbas was born on May 21, 1975, in West Bengal and was always attracted to the glamour world. He almost worked in the film industry for 20 years and his hit song, Chui Mui Si Tum Lagti Ho became a massive hit with Preeti Jhangiani.
