Recently, Harshvardhan Rane also opened up about his struggles in a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter. “I started working as a waiter in a hostel mess. I also got a job to maintain a register at an STD booth for Rs 10 per day. Then the same work at a cafe for Rs 20 per day. The first struggle was to find a meal and a steady Rs 10 income, then the struggle was to find a washroom. The soap would have someone else’s hair stuck on it. Then the struggle was to find a deodorant because I would sleep with four or five hardworking men who worked in the kitchen, and there was an odour issue. I remember when I first started earning, I got a perfume and had a shake at McDonald’s.”

He added, “That’s where my struggle started. So, after that, this all isn’t struggle for me. Till the time I am getting food, a clean bed, and hot water to bathe, I couldn’t feel this is struggle.”

While the actor had a rocky start, he still doesn’t hesitate seeking producers for work. “When I go with this model, there isn’t a place for doubt. Some of my elite friends tell me, ‘Ye bahut ghatiya idea hai to go to a producer’s office. It doesn’t look good. You have done 7-8 films here and 10-11 films in the South, people know you, don’t do this.’ I just smile at them and pretend to listen to them.”
