Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan got upset when people ridiculed him for saying that he has been a victim of nepotism, and says he has battled dark times and phases of lonely struggle.

The actor also revealed that he has been thrown out of his own film in the past. "I don't think I've had it particularly easy, even though some people will say 'oh, of course you have'! But I've done a lot of stuff that a lot of people wouldn't have done. I mean I've played third lead in some dodgy films like 'Surakshaa' and 'Ek Tha Raja', which nobody has heard of," Saif said.
