At the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2025, he recalled the difficult phase and said, “I realised in the first 6-8 months of working in these films that 3 things are very crucial in every film; the script, the director and the producer. Until these 3 are ticked off, I realised I won’t do a film again. I was very unhappy with the work I was doing. In the first couple of years in my career as an actor, after QSQT, I was not happy with the projects. My sensibility did not match the people I was working with. To cut a long story short, these films started releasing eventually, and they started bombing. Ek flop hui, dusri flop hui, teesri flop hui (One flopped, then another flopped, then a third one too). I was labelled ‘one film wonder,’ and rightly so.”
