In Sarfarosh, my first movie, I was beaten. In Munna Bhai MBBS, the same thing happened. I was a thief, a pickpocket, always on the receiving end. People from my village would tell my father, \u2018Your son is always getting beaten in movies.\u2019 He was very tense about it. We are from Western UP, where everyone has a lot of pride. He asked me, \u2018Why do you keep doing such roles?\u2019 I told him, \u2018I don\u2019t get anything else; I\u2019m trying.\u2019 He then said, \u2018Then stop coming here after getting beaten up.\u2019 I was so upset that I didn\u2019t visit my village for three years.\u201d<\/p>\n
