I used to be neither getting recognition nor cash: Raj Arjun phrases Secret Superstar because the turning level in life

Raj Arjun performed an important position as Zaira Wasim’s father in ‘Secret Superstar’ produced by Aamir Khan. In a current chat with Hindustan Times, Raj Arjun spoke about practically quitting performing until Secret Superstar turned his life round. He mentioned, “I lost everything while asking for work. I don’t like asking for any favor in life from anyone. I felt shy asking for work. So when I took a step back, that is when Secret Superstar (2017) happened and changed things for me.” Raj talked about that he was taking part in only some scene roles in movies and mentioned, “I was neither getting recognition nor money. I don’t blame anybody for this”. 

Speaking about his struggling days, Raj mentioned, “I was trying to break the wall and the wall is invisible, so I was just throwing my hands here and there. It’s so uncertain. I was banging on each and every door. I remember I didn’t leave any stone unturned”. He additional added, “I was very updated. When people used to send out photos, I had my CV. When people used CV, I was already on pen drives and would distribute it to casting people. When people got to pen drives, I was doing it on my iPad”. 

Raj additional talked about that at one level he took a break from performing and mentioned, “So then I took a break… main thahar gaya. I decided I won’t do these small roles which I was doing for 10- 12 years. As an actor, I wasn’t satisfied with that work, and I was doing just for the sake of being in the industry and because of the greed that someone someday will notice me and offer me something big”.
