He was quoted saying, “I wouldn’t call it struggle, because very individual struggle for everything. My journey was full of ups and down, sometimes I used to get a job and sometimes not. Also I am not a part time actor, I am full time actor. I am graduate from NSD. My journey has been very long, I started in 1988 in theatres and then I did Monsoon Wedding and that’s how I came Bombay. I have worked very hard to get here.”

Be it small or big role, I have never said NO to any work, my journey was very interesting and now I am enjoying the roles that I am getting especially on OTT platform.”

Speaking about the recognition, the actor said, “As an actor that’s what I want- people’s recognition. Earlier when people used to see me at the market, airport or restaurants, they used to look at me say Aap ko kahi dekha hai’. And then after 20 or 30 minutes they come back to me and say achcha you are in this film. So I really enjoy that attention. And no people know me by name, that attention is also good. This year have been very good for me, right from Gone Game, Mirzapur 2, Undekhi, all have worked so well for me.”
