Actor Ajay Maan
To make a mark and survive in the entertainment is not easy. It requires immense hard work and effort. This hard work gets doubled when someone without any connections or contacts in the industry desires to be a part of this industry. Though many actors complain about it, many actors feel that this is a natural process and just a part of how the system works. The second set of actors perceive this more as a challenge to work hard on their abilities. One such example is the emerging actor Ajay Maan who graduated from NIT Kurukshetra one of the top ten colleges in India. He feels that having a contact may give an actor the first opportunity but to sustain in the industry he would need many such opportunities, which can only arise from good work. Success and failure both depend on the hands of a particular individual. He feels that it is tough either way so it is necessary to have a plan and implement that plan in the journey of life. Nothing should be short-termed as short-lived items are like bubbles that burst after a little while. When further asked about nepotism in the industry, he commented "I honestly have no say in this. These things are not in my control, so I would refrain to comment. It is my hard work and patience, rest is on god."
