Bollywood star Suniel Shetty belongs to an era of actors who were brilliant performers. He is currently winning accolades for his praiseworthy performance in the recently released web series, Dharavi Bank where he was seen playing the role of a gangster Thalaivan. In the latest interview, Shetty talked about what made his contemporaries Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn go ahead of him in terms of career.
When questioned if he feels any pressure that his fellow actors Akshay and Ajay are doing better than him, Suniel shared that he is not insecure and is comfortable with whatever he is up to. He also said that Kumar and Devgn in fact, inspire him to stay focused and to do hard work to fulfil dreams.
The 61-year-old actor stated, “I never take pressure because I have a world of mine which is so beautiful that I probably feel they must have missed out, maybe I don’t know. I am happy when it comes to a lot of things I have done in my life and things I am doing in my life. I am someone who has always been very comfortable in my own space. My successful films spoke for themselves and for failure, I took the blame for it, wrong choices, emotional choices but who to blame I took up the blame.”
“I am not insecure. Akshay and Ajay inspire me not necessarily for movies but for the idea to stay focused and you could achieve anything. I was not probably focused when I was working. I didn’t pay heed to the scripts I was hearing or believed I was larger than life but that was a mistake. If my son Ahan learns from my experience I feel I have achieved everything.” he added.
For the uninitiated, Suniel Shetty has recently completed three decades in Bollywood. He set his foot in acting with the 1992 film, Balwaan and has been part of around 100 films. His last outing, Dharavi Bank is his debut in OTT. Helmed by Samit Kakkad, the show also starred Vivek Oberoi and Sonali Kulkarni. Suniel will next be seen in Feroz Nadiadwala’s Hera Pheri 3.
