It may seem like star kids have a shortcut to success in the film industry but there are numerous examples to prove that wrong. One of them is Karan Deol. Sunny Deol's didn't exactly have a dream debut as his film 'Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas' tanked in the box office and failed to make a mark on the audience as well. Recently, he talked about how he managed to deal with the failure so early in his career.
He said, After my debut, I was left on my own. I’ve been taking all decisions on my own. Dad (actor Sunny Deol) said, ‘You be your own person, take your own calls, learn from your mistakes’. That’s the only way. Especially with what happened, right after Pal Pal Dil... , there was the pandemic and we were restricted to our homes.”
He revealed how the lockdown gave him time for introspection and finding weak links in his work. He said, “I was with my chacha (Bobby Deol), dada (Dharmendra) and papa... there was the whole family vibe. I watched my old acting videos I did in film school. I saw how happy I was. I started acting because I love it, so I can’t let anything put me down. It reinstilled confidence in me. Somehow through lockdown, I recharged myself. I got into a positive headspace to go another round.
