Actor Lakshya<\/a> started his acting career with television shows and gained popularity with Porus. Soon after the show ended, he began auditioning for films and, after several attempts, finally bagged a three-film deal with Karan Johar<\/a>. However, despite this, his journey in Bollywood was not easy, as two out of the three films were eventually shelved. In a recent podcast<\/a> with Raj Shamani, Lakshya opened up about how he dealt with that phase.<\/p>\n

Lakshya revealed that when two of his films were shelved, he told himself it wasn\u2019t his fault. He further pushed himself to continue voice training, reading scenes, going to the gym, and watching films. He added, \u201cI was blank. I was numb to it. I just let it happen. Luckily, I never had self-doubt. I genuinely felt nothing was set up for me. I had no plans of becoming an actor; I just happened to become one. The only thing I knew was hard work. So why should I stop doing that? That\u2019s what\u2019s made me. Who do I blame? God? Or Karan Johar? I can\u2019t blame anyone, na. The film got shelved, and that\u2019s it. For some reason, I had the self-belief that it was happening for a reason. Tables would turn one day. There wasn\u2019t a single day throughout Covid when I didn\u2019t work hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lakshya on leaving a TV show to become a film star<\/p>\n

Lakshya further revealed that he left another high-paying TV show because he wanted to become a film star. He said, \u201cAfter Porus ended, I got another TV show where they offered me \u20b920,000\u2013 \u20b925,000 per day. My father said, \u2018That\u2019s a lot of money. I\u2019ve never seen that kind of money in my whole life. Just grab it.\u2019 But there was a stubbornness within me. Why couldn\u2019t I become a movie star? What do I lack? This one\u2019s doing it, that one\u2019s doing it, so why couldn\u2019t I?\u201d<\/p>\n
