"If everything is going in your favor or is good, then you will become complacent. I like challenges thrown at me... I don't mind when I am not called a star, or when people say I am finished or think I am a non-actor. I know what I am capable of. I believe in myself.", Shreyas said.


It is tough to sustain in this industry, and he is aware that everyone goes through highs and lows. Even the biggest of stars, including Amitabh Bachchan, had to go through a weak phase and he had to struggle. It is part of your professional journey. One who has the hunger and passion for cinema will do whatever it takes to do good work.

"One thing that the film industry has taught me is that it is never too late to start or restart at any point. Like how Bachchan sir reinvented himself," he adds.
