00:00Ram Gopal Verma's best discovery after Manoj Bajpayee
00:03Everyone in the media loved it
00:09I had started working at the age of 10 to buy my books
00:14Look at my face and tell me how I look
00:18But they knew that Rajpal would work hard for himself and for us
00:25I had started working at the age of 10 to buy my books
00:31Today it is called child labour
00:33But at that time I didn't know that it was child labour
00:36But when I worked for 15 days to buy books
00:40And I used to get Rs. 8 per day
00:42So Rs. 15, Rs. 8, Rs. 120
00:44So for Rs. 120 books, I used to get Rs. 6 per year
00:48I remember it very well
00:49So my father hugged me a lot
00:51And said that now that the books have come
00:54We will pay the fees of the entire year
00:58And when 1999 came
01:00The ending of 1998
01:02At that time, a film Satya was released
01:07It was a super hit
01:09And we had taken this decision
01:11That we want to go into films
01:16We were the people of the theatre
01:18We used to go to 4-5 production houses
01:20Because it was believed that new boys get work here
01:24Mr. Ram Gopal Verma was the most prominent
01:28I got a call from Ramuji
01:30From Praval Pandey that Ramuji wants to meet you
01:33So I went
01:35So Ramuji told me that there is a scene
01:38Rajpal is a henchman
01:40He is a small boy
01:42He is the youngest in the entire gang
01:46And this role is for you
01:48Ram Gopal Verma's best discovery
01:50After Manoj Bajpayee
01:52In the entire media
01:54Everyone gave a lot of love
01:57And recognized the character of the soldier
02:01But I was worried that why am I not getting work
02:05But in 2001, when the screen video came out
02:10And in that year itself
02:12Kaho Na Pyaar Hai was released in 2000
02:15So Hrithik Roshan got the Best Debut Actor Award
02:18And the Best Negative Actor Award
02:21And the entire industry saw my face
02:24That award was such a blessing
02:27That we signed 16 films in a month
02:30Because when everyone saw my face
02:32He is looking innocent
02:34He looks like a family boy
02:36And after that
02:38He doesn't look like he used to be
02:42The director shot himself
02:44I feel that even if I take 100 births
02:47I don't want to make any mistakes
02:49I want to serve the actor 90%
02:53If you are in the field
02:55Then losing and winning continues
02:58But the person who loses
03:00The seed of victory also seeds from there
