"Nobody can reach wherever they are without a struggle. But the struggles are different. Some people struggle in a BMW some struggle in a BEST bus. I come from the BEST bus category.”
However, the actor added that everyone struggles. “A struggle is a struggle. I don't think the one who is struggling in a BMW, uski struggle kuch less hai. Sabki struggle apni hai,” the actor said.
The actor, was, however, loathe to call it a struggle.
He went on to add, “But I do not call it a struggle period, I call it a learning period. You move forward. The moment you use the word struggle, people start sympathising. I don’t like the word sympathise. Why should people sympathise? I am creating entertainment because I like to. I do not regret a single audition I failed. I do not have any hard feelings against everybody.”
“Even somebody who has criticised me has contributed in my career,” the actor signed off.
JugJugg Jeeyo which released in theatres on June 24 collected Rs 9.28 crore at the box office on Day 1.
