Nakuul Mehta on dealing with failures

While Nakuul Mehta now knows all the tricks of the trade, he has dealt with several rejections before seeing fame in this industry. Reflecting on his audition days, the actor shares, “I`ve actually had more failures than successes. I would have auditioned at least 500 times in my life from the beginning of my career and not done a hundredth of that work. That`s also the nature of the business you`ve chosen to be in. I think at some point you realize that failure is not to be taken personally, nor is success.”
