who comes from a non-filmi background to get a break in the industry. But, I also feel that talent never goes unnoticed. One needs to be aware of the fact that it’s a business and many factors play a part in an individual getting a role. I feel that this is the best time to be an actor owing to the number of avenues that have opened up.
