“All my friends and relatives said ‘how will he become a hero’ when I set out and when I go back now they say ‘he has done it. I made it possible.”
“So many times I felt I was wasting my time because things were just not working out.”
“I was afraid my friends would tease me. Arrey hero ban ne gaya tha, wapas laut aaya.”
“There were times when I was locked for a role but was then called and told it’s not happening.”
“Sometimes I think if I had got all these films 5 years back, probably I wouldn’t be as grounded as I am now.”
“When I had no money, I would find out which friend had work and money at that point in time and would go and stay with him for a week. All of us theatre guys did that.”
“There was electricity in our village only for 2-3 hours a day, so all my life, I studied under a lamp.”
“It’s a sense of satisfaction because I proved all my friends and relatives wrong.”
