However, after completing his education, when he mentioned that he wants to settle down in Mumbai and make a career in the film industry, instead of discouraging him, his father asked him to join Film and Television Institute of India for a formal training.
Explaining his successmantra, Ghai said, “I keep discovering myself with each film. Also, a film should entertain the youth.”
Apart from discussing his journey in the industry, Ghai had some words of wisdom for those present at the session. “One should not limit his/her abilities. An actor should know how a producer function; a producer should know what it needs to be a technician; a technician should know what it takes to become a good actor,” he said.
