Anyone saying that it doesn’t exist has to be blind or really powerful, feels Sushant!

He's completed four years in Bollywood and has been appreciated for his performances. Sushant Singh Rajput is now gearing up for his next release, Raabta.

HT Cafe caught up with the actor, and asked him if he's feeling any pressure for Raabta’s box office performance, after the success of MS Dhoni - The Untold Story? To which the actor replied, "Everyone wants their films to do well, so, I also want that. But there is no point to prove, goals to reach, or reputation to hold on to. In our industry, success is really overrated, as there are only a handful of films every year that we can be genuinely proud of. But failures are under-appreciated even when they help us decipher what we did wrong, and help us try to make better films."

As an outsider in Bollywood, has he seen nepotism around him? "Nepotism is just not about outsiders finding it hard to score films and insiders getting projects easily. It is also about how your successes and failures are perceived and magnified. In that way, it exists and anyone saying that it doesn’t has to be blind or really powerful. But I have no complaints, and I’m genuinely grateful for the opportunities I’ve had," the actor was quoted as saying.
