I just did it for fun and experience. My expectationswere not high so my disappointments were also not low. Butthen it was like you want your film do well," he said.
"But it did... and it was disappointing. You take itin a stride. I had got more serious about acting after Istarted doing Action Replay and Guzaarish... I was likethis is going to be my profession and I was sad. The filmsthat come up do not do well then I will be really sad," headded.
