Make your own luck
Boman says while luck makes a
difference, hard work also matters
A
ctor Boman Irani, who is currently
shooting for Rohit Shetty’s Dilwale,
which also stars Shah Rukh Khan and
Kajol, says he believes in luck but
when it comes to getting a break in the film
industry, hard work does matter.
“It will always be difficult, it will always
be easy (to get a break)... it depends on your
preparation of getting there. People say it’s a lot
to do with your luck — I do believe in luck, but
I also believe that you make your own luck,”
Boman said recently.
“Hard work takes care of 80 or maybe
90 percent of the luck factor, 10 per cent
might be attributed to luck. If a person is
hard-working, knows exactly what it takes
to be an actor, I think he or she will make
it at some point in life.
“When you say that ‘I’m struggling’,
but you are doing nothing about understanding the craft of acting and facing
the camera, then no amount of luck is
going to help you,” he added.
