What will you achieve by stressing over this?'"
The actor mentioned that those few words instantly changed his perspective on the uncertainty of the film industry. He said, "It made me realize that if someone of Salman Khan's stature has no guarantee of box-office success for his next film, then I have no reason to harbor that kind of stress."
