Legendary screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar, a part of the iconic duo Salim-Javed, recalled his struggling days in Mumbai, then Bombay. He went down memory lane in the three-part docuseries `Angry Young Men` and got teary-eyed as he spoke about being deprived of food, sleep, and even clothes to wear during his time in the city. 

Javed shared, “When you’re a teenager, life is easy, and you can do anything. That’s what I believed. I decided after my graduation that I’d move to Bombay to work as an assistant director, either with Guru Dutt or Raj Kapoor. They were directors, I admired at that time. I was sure I’d become a director myself in a short time.”
