I'm Independent says Arjun Rampal

National Award Winner Arjun Rampal talks about how he figured out the right formula as an actor by being patient and learning from his mistakes. 

On asking whether he feels that this is his second innings, the actor replied, “An actor doesn’t have a shelf life. Good talent in any profession cannot be kept down for long. Your talent is in the choices that you make. I think that I have made the right choices in working with like-minded people who work as hard as I do to get it right. I now take up films based on two questions: Will I watch this movie? Are these people going to deliver the finished product as impressively as they’ve put it on paper? Luckily I have found a group because of who the answer to both these questions is a yes.”

On asking whether Shah Rukh’s friendship helped, he said” One learns a lot from Shah Rukh. He never holds back. He has advised me on matters where I needed it. But, he doesn’t cast you because he is your friend but because you can deliver. At the end of the day, one can’t be dependent on anybody. I came independently. I live independently. That’s how I would like to remain and move forward.”
