Shriya Saran recalls Rajinikanth's advice: 'Today you are doing well, Tomorrow you will fail miserably, So always be nice and kind to people'

Actress Shriya Saran’s latest OTT series, ‘Showtime,’ is about the struggles faced by actors behind the scenes in the industry, and in a recent interview, the actress has opened up about the initial obstacles she faced in her career. She also talked about how one valuable piece of advice from Superstar Rajinikanth changed her perspective about failure.

In an interview with Instantbollywood, Shriya shared her experience as an actress on sets during the initial days. “I ran away from the film set once. I used to pull their chair, and my director used to fall on the floor. I literally made them cry, including Chiyaan Vikram. But I'm very grateful to them because they told me when you screw up, the entire set would be affected as the people are waiting for you to finish. Everything is connected; this is not a joke and take it seriously. I think this is the first film of mine which changed me,” Shriya mentioned.


She further added, ‘I worked with some amazing actors like Nagarjuna Akkineni who taught me that meditations can be helpful in managing everything around, and Rajinikanth said, “Hey beautiful, today you are doing well tomorrow you will fail miserably but tomorrow when you try to rise again, be nice to people; they will help you through that so be always nice and kind to people,” Shriya shared screen with Rajinikanth in the 2007 film ‘Shivaji: The Boss.’

Directed by Mihir Desai and Archit Kumar, 'Showtime’ features Emraan Hashmi, Naseeruddin Shah, Mouni Roy, and Mahima Makwana in main roles.
