During the interaction, the actor said, ‘All the great steps I have taken in my life have come out of frustration, despair, and poverty. There was a time when my first film was a silver jubilee, and after that, I did not get any work. I don’t know why. I got frustrated. In today’s time, a silver jubilee is equal to giving a film worth Rs 100 to 150 crores. How can it be that you give such a hit film and do not get any work?’

The actor further said, ‘I did not get any work. I was very scared. I had to pay rent, feed myself. What will you do without money? So I signed the wrong films, which flopped. I again came back to the starting position, and I had no work. In that frustration, I got into alcoholism, and then everything got spoiled. My life went down the drain.’
