Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah advises upcoming actors in Bollywood to not get frustrated even if the chips are down professionally and carry on with their work.
"Come what may, one
should not lose hope. However bad the situation may be (upcoming) actors should keep working," said the National Award winning actor.
Interacting with the media on the fifth day of 11th edition of the Mumbai International Film Festival, a Reliance BIG entertainment initiative, Shah said that he overcame bad phases in his life by immersing himself in work.
"I never thought (negative) and kept acting. And that is what I would like to tell all that have a positive approach, never give up hope and keep working," he said.
Shah further said that upcoming actor should keep "practising" their craft.
He was also all praise for actor Harish Patel, who was also present on the occasion.
"Bollywood failed to recognise Harish Patel's talent. He has done some good work abroad, especially the United Kingdom," he said.
