It’s a very interesting feeling, as suddenly people have noticed me and I feel like it’s my very first performance. That’s the fact of life and the industry. Unless you create your own success story, nobody is interested in you. I have no regrets or complaints about it, that’s how it works. So when people say that I am an overnight success, I just reacted to it in a recent interview where I said ‘This night was 15 years long for me’ by that logic,” reports Mid Day.
