“Today you go on social media and read so many things, like nepotism and all. But people don’t realize that the generations have worked hard and worked very hard to reach here. It’s not an easy story like “Iska beta hai toh...,” the 54-year-old actor said.
Hardwork and struggle never ends..

He also pointed towards his broken ankles while sharing that people “don't see that part of hard work,” while tend to ignore the fact that even the industry people don’t get everything handed to them.
