'Maa' actor Jitin Gulati reflects on his struggle days: 'Every step presented a new challenge'
Actor
Jitin Gulati
, who was recently seen as Sarfaraz in Kajol's "Maa", reflected on his struggle days.
When asked about the toughest part of his struggle journey during an exclusive conversation with IANS, Gulati revealed that every step presented a new challenge for him.
Speaking to IANS, Gulati said, "Honestly, the whole journey has been challenging. When you're trying to follow a dream-especially when it goes against the norm-it's always tough."
He claimed that although he was fortunate enough to get his family's support, things were not easy for him. "For many of us actors, we come from middle-class families where no one says, "Go become an actor." That kind of support, while emotionally present, isn't always practical.
I've been fortunate in that my family stood by me, but still, it's not an easy road," Gualti shared.
He added, "From living in Mumbai to dealing with the uncertainty of the profession, every step presents a new challenge. Whether it's the lack of opportunities or the struggles you face while seeking them, the road isn't smooth."
Summarizing his journey so far, he called it "slow and steady".
"If I were to sum up my journey in a single line, I'd say it's been slow but steady-and always moving upwards.

It may not have been the fastest route, but it's been a consistent climb. I feel that no matter how gradual the progress has been, I've always moved forward, and that in itself is rewarding," Gulati stated.
He further thanked the audience for being the biggest support in his journey.
"Your feedback, your messages, your reviews-they mean a great deal to me. Whether it was for Mumbai Meri Jaan, or my OTT work like Kala, Tukwan, or Maa-I've felt deeply encouraged by the response. Please know that it matters immensely," Gulati concluded.

The Great Indian Kapil Show 3: Kapil Sharma takes a dig at Navjot Singh Sidhu's political career; says 'Biwi ka dil jeetna, party ka kya hai banda badal bhi leta hai...'
The Great Indian Kapil Show season 3 welcomed a popular couple, Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha as special guests. The good-looking couple revealed many secrets about their love story and relationship. The episode was a full-on laugh riot with hilarious gags from Krushna Abhishek , Kiku Sharda and Sunil Grover. Parineeti and Raghav were seen having a gala time on the show and Raghav even disclosed many things about his political career. During a candid chat with Raghav, Kapil asked the young politician what he found more challenging—winning elections or winning his wife's heart. With a witty smile, Raghav replied, "The frequency is different. You have to win an election once every five years, but you have to win your wife's heart every hour." Hearing this, Kapil praised him and others cheered for him. Just then Kapil pulled Navjot Singh Sidhu 's leg by cracking a hilarious punch on his political career. He said, "Biwi ka dil jeetna actually, party ka kya hai, woh toh aap kabhi bhi badal sakte ho." (A person can always switch political parties. Right Paaji) and then he looked at Sidhu for validation. This left everyone in splits of laughter including Parineeti and Raghav. He then stated, "Look at the power of love and art! We have people from different political parties under the same roof. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo If we count your former party, we have people from three parties here." Sidhu quickly added, "India has around 30 to 40 languages, 40 different cultures and people from different castes and communities living together. Four parties surely co-exist." Raghav supports Sidhu and says that's the beauty of India. During the beginning of the episode, Raghav walked barefoot on TGIKS stage. When Kapil asked him about the reason, he informed the host that someone stole his shoes from backstage. Just then, Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda make a dramatic entry dressed as female security officers, Mona and Sona, holding Raghav's shoes in their hands. They cheerfully address Raghav as their jiju and demand money in exchange for returning his shoes, claiming they are performing the traditional joota churayi ritual. Entering the stage with the chant, 'East or West, Raghav jiju is the best,' they leave everyone in splits. When Kapil tries to scold them for their antics, Krushna (as Mona) quips, 'Kapil is just jealous because Parineeti is here with her husband, and his flirting skills are currently on flight mode!' Kapil quickly covers up by playfully calling Parineeti his sister. Hilarious Archana Puran Singh memes flood Twitter after Navjot Singh Sidhu resigns as Punjab Congress chief

Watch: Hilarious! Ravindra Jadeja asks England spectator to change t-shirt during IND vs ENG 5th Test
Ravindra Jadeja ask England crowd to change t-shirt (Screengrab/AP) Cricket fans at The Oval witnessed a lighthearted moment on Day 3 of the fifth and final Test between India and England when Ravindra Jadeja politely asked a spectator to change his t-shirt mid-match. The moment unfolded while Jadeja was batting, only to be distracted by a fan seated behind the bowler's arm wearing a bright red t-shirt. The colour seemed to interfere with Jadeja's sightline, a common issue for players when trying to focus on the ball coming out of the bowler's hand. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Rather than create a scene, Jadeja simply informed the on-field umpire about the problem. After security personnel and match officials approached the individual, he eventually agreed to change his t-shirt.

Watch: Jadeja gave him a thumbs-up and a grin, diffusing the situation with trademark charm. The incident, caught on camera, quickly went viral, with social media hailing it as yet another reason to love Jadeja's on-field personality. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?
