00:00Ram Gopal Verma's best discovery after Manoj Bajpayee

00:03Everyone in the media loved it

00:09I had started working at the age of 10 to buy my books

00:14Look at my face and tell me how I look

00:18But they knew that Rajpal would work hard for himself and for us

00:25I had started working at the age of 10 to buy my books

00:31Today it is called child labour

00:33But at that time I didn't know that it was child labour

00:36But when I worked for 15 days to buy books

00:40And I used to get Rs. 8 per day

00:42So Rs. 15, Rs. 8, Rs. 120

00:44So for Rs. 120 books, I used to get Rs. 6 per year

00:48I remember it very well

00:49So my father hugged me a lot

00:51And said that now that the books have come

00:54We will pay the fees of the entire year

00:58And when 1999 came

01:00The ending of 1998

01:02At that time, a film Satya was released

01:07It was a super hit

01:09And we had taken this decision

01:11That we want to go into films

01:16We were the people of the theatre

01:18We used to go to 4-5 production houses

01:20Because it was believed that new boys get work here

01:24Mr. Ram Gopal Verma was the most prominent

01:28I got a call from Ramuji

01:30From Praval Pandey that Ramuji wants to meet you

01:33So I went

01:35So Ramuji told me that there is a scene

01:38Rajpal is a henchman

01:40He is a small boy

01:42He is the youngest in the entire gang

01:46And this role is for you

01:48Ram Gopal Verma's best discovery

01:50After Manoj Bajpayee

01:52In the entire media

01:54Everyone gave a lot of love

01:57And recognized the character of the soldier

02:01But I was worried that why am I not getting work

02:05But in 2001, when the screen video came out

02:10And in that year itself

02:12Kaho Na Pyaar Hai was released in 2000

02:15So Hrithik Roshan got the Best Debut Actor Award

02:18And the Best Negative Actor Award

02:21And the entire industry saw my face

02:24That award was such a blessing

02:27That we signed 16 films in a month

02:30Because when everyone saw my face

02:32He is looking innocent

02:34He looks like a family boy

02:36And after that

02:38He doesn't look like he used to be

02:42The director shot himself

02:44I feel that even if I take 100 births

02:47I don't want to make any mistakes

02:49I want to serve the actor 90%

02:53If you are in the field

02:55Then losing and winning continues

02:58But the person who loses

03:00The seed of victory also seeds from there
