Darsheel Safary Said, My teeth, everything about me was made fun of in school
Darsheel Safary said, “My height, my teeth, everything about me was made fun of in school. My teeth seemed like they were a kilometre outside my mouth. It all happened for a reason, and then I got the film because of those teeth.”
Darsheel further said that he sees all of this in a positive light. He learned from it and it doesn’t affect him anymore. But at that time, it had a deep impact on him. The actor said, “I was a different kind of sensitive child. Everything hurt me.
He said: When you become an actor, you have to calm the noise, but not completely. You have to know what’s real and what’s not. If they say Darsheel is getting lazy, that’s true and I have to work on it. But if they say Darsheel doesn’t like acting, that’s a lie.”
Apart from ‘Taare Zameen Par’, Darsheel has also worked in films like ‘Bumm Bumm Bole’, ‘Zokkomon’, and ‘Midnight’s Children’.
He was recently seen in the docu-fiction series, ‘First Act’, which revolved around the real-life stories of child actors in the film industry. Additionally, he was also recently featured in an advertisement with Aamir Khan.
