Sinha said, “There were no TV channels at that time, there was no social media. You had to prove yourself with your grit and determination. I used to go to meet producers and directors with a reel of my own film. The struggle was real.”

He further said, “But Dharmendra, whom I consider my elder brother, he had a much deeper struggle. Or my good friend Amitabh Bachchan, who is said to have spent nights on a bench. Their struggles were greater than mine. But yes, there were times when I stayed hungry for two or three days. But I had a passion, and that helped me persevere.”

Shatrughan Singh began his acting career in the 1960s and has shared screen space with almost all the leading ladies of the film industry.
