Success never comes easy, and the stories of yesteryear superstars are a validation for the same. Otherwise, who would have thought Shatrughan Sinha, who ruled the cinemas in the 70s and 80s, would face a tough time? The struggle was so bad that he would sometimes have to choose between food and saving time on traveling. The revelation was made recently by his son Luv Sinha, who is set to star in Gadar 2
In a chat with Siddharth Kanan, Luv shared that whatever he’s learned, it’s from his father. He shared that he’s heard stories of his difficult times before he made it big. “There were times when he had to choose either traveling by bus for his meetings or saving the money for food. Sometimes he would eat and walk miles and sometimes, to save time, he would let go of food,” the emotional son recalled
He added that given Shatrughan Sinha had left his home in Patna to build a career in films, he would often be left with fear and apprehensions about whether he would make it as an actor. Luv added that his father’s family had a lot of hopes for him and the superstar did not want to ever return as a failure.
There were times when he was at his peak that our house, even though small at that time, was filled with people. And then when his films were not working, no one would be around. I have seen both the rise and the fall, closely,” he added.
