Hindi cinema's ace actors maybe enjoying their positions in the top slot. But it took many-a-failure to get there. And though they have enough and more to boast about, some of the biggest names also have in their closet a few embarrassing films they wouldn't like to remember. TopMasala lists some of these 'embarrassing projects' or what could be called films that proved to be the biggest duds at the BO.

Amitabh Bachchan

Actor Amitabh Bachchan till date is trying out different things. While all his experimenting like in Cheeni Kum is being much appreciated, Bachchan has been a part of embarrassing films like Nishabd and the more recent RGV Ki Aag. While in Nishabd he falls in love with his daughter's friend in the film, in Aag which happens to be a remake of Sholay, Bachchan plays the renowned villain - Babban, which co-relates to Gabbar in the original! Another film that proved to be quite a spot in his envious career is Boom! The film was dipped in controversy and went bust at the box office.

Aishwarya Rai

The actress enjoys mention of some of her powerful performances like that in Devdas, Guru and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam when she is being introduced as a celebrity.

But she'd die a hundred deaths if films like Jeans, …Aur Pyar Ho Gaya or even Albela with the talented Govinda were so much as even mentioned.

Shah Rukh Khan

He wasn't born Badshah Khan but became so with fabulous hits and the wonderful performances he rendered. But Shah Rukh was filmdom's Gudda at one point. With films such as Guddu, Zamaana Deewana, Dil Aashna Hai and Gaja Gamini, he was far from the top slot.

But the Dilwale managed to win over the hearts of the audiences in typical SRK style.

Rani Mukherjee

Actress Rani Mukherjee keeps speaking about Black, but ask her about another 'B' in her CV - a film titled Badal that released in 2000, and she'll willingly go hiding in the clouds.

A few of her other embarrassing films are Mehndi, Raja Ki Ayegi Baraat and Pyar Diwana Hota Hai . But should we let bygones be bygones?

Aamir Khan

Actor Aamir Khan has impressed us many times, but he, too has some embarrassing references.

His Holi wasn't even close to Rangeela, and in 1990 a couple of films like Tum Mere Ho directed by Dad Tahir Hussain and starring Juhi Chawla, and Jawani Zindabad left the audiences shouting anything but zindabad for the lad!
