Before ‘Secret Superstar’ I was like a beggar. I was just called for a job, I was doing it and going home. Till ‘Secret Superstar’ happened, it was just a fight within myself to prove my existence as an actor, to earn some money and all. In that process whatever I was offered I was doing it.”
He added that he would consider “Secret Superstar” and “Shabri” as his best till date. “… I want to do something that hits me inside. And ‘Secret Superstar’ is the only film that touched me. “‘Shabri’ was one of the good works and ‘Secret Superstar’ is the best work. I am happy to be part of all the films that I did but I couldn’t perform much in them. I was under pressure, be it from myself or story or content was not helping me out,” stated the actor.
