Mrunal Jain: “Patience and destiny work for you when you wait for something right to happen”

There are those who instantly attain stardom in showbiz and then there are those who don’t have to mettle to perform well. But there are also some actors who are brilliant but haven’t got the recognition they deserve and actor Mrunal Jain is one of these. “There are so many talented actors who never get work or never get appreciated for their work. I have been one of these unfortunate people who has never got an appreciation for my work. However, I have always got more work. If people feel like I am not talented then why are they giving me work? I really appreciate the fact that they consider and see that talent in me. However, for any actor recognition is equally important and I hope I get that soon as well. It breaks my heart to not be counted amongst the most popular actors of TV since I have a huge body of great work behind me,” says Mrunal, who has been seen in shows such as Bandini, Hitler Didi, and Uttaran.

The actor says that people don’t forget his work easily. “People remember me for my role and that is important. Even if you can make an impact in a show, that is more than enough. However, I feel that to really be retained in the audience’s minds, you need to have a popularity quotient as well,” he says.

Talking about the secret to being successful in the industry, he says, “I think patience and destiny work for you when you wait for something right to happen and something that does not work out which means some other good has to happen. I think luck will always play part in your life and it is indirectly dependent on your talent and the hard work and what is your approach towards work.”

The actor has done films such as Sab Kushal Mangal and Sooryavanshi, however, he says that he will give these as much importance as he gives his TV projects. “First of all, I really hate this discrimination between TV actors and film actors. TV actors have to be taken seriously and I think both are great platforms for an artist to perform. I will give my100% on T.V also as well as films,” he says.
