At a recent event, Shailesh said that in this country, publishers wear a diamond ring and a writer who wants to get his book published, has to shell out money. He also said that people, who earn from the talent of other people, start thinking that they are over and above the talented people. He feels that a talented person should raise their voices and calls him one of those talented people who has raised his voice.

The actor also added that a person earning name and fame via a talented people cannot be bigger than those who are talented.
