Shreyas
Talpade
has
many
memorable
films
like
Iqbal,
Dor,
Om
Shanti
Om,
Welcome
to
Sajjanpur
and
many
others
to
his
credit.
But
unlike
some
of
his
contemporaries,
the
actor's
journey
have
had
more
share
of
downs
than
ups.
In
a
recent
tete-a-tete,
the
actor
said
that
he
lacks
the
skill
to
market
himself,
believing
that
his
work
should
do
the
talking.
While
speaking
with
ETImes,
Shreyas
said
that
some
of
his
solo
projects
failed
to
work
at
the
box
office
and
added,
"I
think
the
only
thing
I
lacked
was
the
ability
to
market
myself.
I
belong
to
the
school
of
thought
that
says
your
work
should
get
you
more
work."
Elaborating
on
it,
the
actor
recalled
how
he
was
sidelined
by
many
whom
he
considered
'friends'
and
told
the
daily.
Shreyas
said
that
there
were
certain
actors
who
refused
to
do
films
with
him.
"I
found
out
that
there
are
certain
actors
who
are
insecure
about
sharing
screen
space
with
me
and
don't
want
me
in
a
film.
I
have
done
certain
films
for
friends
only
keeping
their
interests
in
mind
but
then
I
have
been
back-stabbed
by
the
same
friends.
Then
there
are
friends
who
go
ahead
and
make
films
without
including
me,
which
makes
one
question
if
they
are
even
friends
at
all.
Actually,
in
the
industry,
90%
of
the
people
are
just
acquaintances,
there
are
only
10%
who
actually
feel
happy
when
you
do
well.
The
egos
are
so
fragile
here,"
ETimes
was
quoted
as
saying.
In
the
same
interview,
Shreyas
also
mentioned
that
everytime
he
feels
upset
about
his
career,
he
reminds
himself
that
he's
the
man
who
did
Iqbal.
The
actor
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Even
someone
like
Mr
(Amitabh)
Bachchan
had
to
go
through
a
bad
patch,
so
who
are
we?
He
was
down
and
out
yet
bounced
back
to
reach
even
greater
heights.
This
is
happening
with
me
too.
Every
time
I
feel
depressed,
I
remind
myself
I
was
the
guy
who
did
Iqbal."
He
further
added,
"I
am
happy
with
where
I
am
today
but
I
am
not
done;
I
am
still
hungry
for
good
roles.
It's
very
important
that
every
actor
goes
through
this
patch
because
it
helps
you
mature
over
time
and
value
things
more.
I
want
to
die
acting...on
sets,
or
on
stage
while
performing."
Workwise,
Shreyas
Talpade
was
last
seen
in
the
2019
film
Setters.
