His
debut

Udta

got
an
overwhelming
response
from
audience
but
his
next
release
Phillauri
failed
to
taste
success
at
the
box
office.
Asked
how
much
does
the
success
or
failure
of
a

drive
what
he
signs
next,
Dosanjh
said
everything
is
so
fast
today,
there

Asked

drive
what
he
signs
next,
Dosanjh
said
everything
is
so
fast
today,
there
is
hardly
any
time
to
sulk.
"The
life
of
a
film
today
is
just
a
weekend.
If
its
a
very
good
film,
itll
last
a
week.
So
our
life
is
so
fast
that
it
barely
matters," he
told
PTI.
"Your
projects
get
ready,
you
start
work
on
it.
Obviously,
if
people
dont
like
something
youve
worked
hard
for,
it
hurts.
But
it
isnt
that
one
becomes
Devdas
after
that," he
said.
Staying
unfazed
with
both
success
and
failure
of
a
film
and
continuing
to
put
his
best
foot
forward,
Dosanjh
feels
one
should
not
consider
the
ups
and
downs
in
work
as
"struggle."
"If
you
ask
me
what
is
struggle,
Id
say
it
depends
on
what
you
term
it.
If
its
a
part
of
your
job,
you
shouldnt
call
it
a
struggle.
Its
your
job.
If
you
say
I
worked
very
hard
and
then
I
reached
here,
I
mean,
it
was
your
job,
you
have
to
work
hard
for
it!"
he
said.
The
actor-singer,
known
to
be
extremely
shy
and
reserved
on
sets,
works
diligently
on
his
characters
-
be
it
the
role
of
a
cop
in
Udta
Punjab
or
a
singer
in
Phillauri.
He
said
the
glamour
of
Bollywood
does
not
sway
him
much
as
he
has
seen
something
similar
even
in
Punjab.
"The
glamour
which
Bollywood
has
even
we
have
in
our
Punjabi
industry.
We
have
seen
that
back
home.
How
to
evade
this,
be
normal
around
it
is
something
which
all
artistes
follow.
Its
easy
to
be
normal,"
Dosanjh
said.
"When
the
camera
is
on,
you
should
be
on
too,
when
the
camera
is
off
you
should
go
off.
This
helps
me
a
lot.
If
Im
on
long
after
the
camera
is
off,
everything
will
go
wrong,"
he
added.
The
actor,
though,
is
aware
that
some
of
his
co-stars
might
find
this
behaviour
amusing.
"Some
co-stars
do
ask
me,
if
everything
is
ok
(because
Im
not
talking)
but
I
dont
take
stress
at
all.
Some
might
even
feel
bad
due
to
this
but
my
intention
is
never
to
hurt
anyone.
If
they
start
feeling
bad
on
their
own,
then
its
not
my
fault!"
he
quipped.
Dosanjh
is
now
ready
with
his
third
Hindi
film,
a
comedy,
Welcome
to
New
York,
starring
Sonakshi
Sinha.
The
film,
produced
by
Vashu
Bhagnani,
also
features
Bollywood
stars,
including
Karan
Johar,
Riteish
Deshmukh,
Lara
Dutta
among
others.
Welcome
to
New
York
marks
his
first
on-screen
pairing
with
Sinha
and
the
34-year-old
actor
found
no
starry
tantrums
a
common
link
between
her
and
his
previous
female
co-stars,
Anushka
Sharma
and
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan.
"A
common
thing
which
I
liked
about
all
of
them
was,
I
used
to
think
these
are
big
superstars,
dont
know
what
aura
they
will
have
but
they
were
all
very
normal.
Kareena,
Anushka
and
even
Sonakshi
too
didnt
have
any
air
regarding
their
celebrity
status,"
he
said.
Welcome
to
New
York
is
scheduled
to
release
on
February
23.
