'Fukrey' actor Manjot Singh opens up about the struggles he has overcome: 'Mere paas 2 saal tak kaam nahi tha'

The life of an actor isn't easy. Especially for those who refuse to be typecast and want to do a variety of roles. And merely doing their job and surviving on whatever roles that come their way isn't an option for everyone. Actor Manjot Singh, too, had to go through some hurdles to stay relevant and do the kind of work that brings him joy. He shot to fame with the film 'Fukrey'. However, he recently recalled how he had to stay without work for 2 years after the success of the film, despite its success. Not to forget, he had a good start in the industry. He had made his Bollywood debut with the movie, 'Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!' which even earned him a Filmfare Critics Award. As he spoke to Times Now Digital, he opened up about the struggles he had to face. He said, 'When I started (my career), I was 16, that time I got a lot of films. After Fukrey, I think ek time aaya tha ke mere paas do saal tak kaam nahi tha (there was time when I did not get work for 2 years). So, the offers that were coming I didn't wished to do and I things I wanted to do, weren't coming my way. I was not satisfied with the offers I was getting. So that was a phase where I felt easy nahi hai. Sitting at home, I was studying and at the same time I was getting films. I was earning good money too, (I thought) life is amazing. But reality check tab pata chalta (you get the reality check) when you have to wait for the right thing.'
