Before dipping his toes in Bollywood, Arjun Rampal was a familiar face on the runway. The actor was a successful model before he turned to the movies. In a recent interview, Rampal opened up about how difficult this switch was and how he was struggling financially. He talked about how his first film took six years to release and how he was also struggling to pay rent.

In a conversation with Pop Diaries, Arjun Rampal talked about how he dealt with this dark time in his life after he quit modelling. He said, 바카라œI was a very successful model, and Ashok Mehta came to me with this film 바카라˜Moksha바카라™, where I was paired opposite this fantastic actor, Manisha Koirala. She was at her peak at that time바카라Š I was shooting a scene with her in the Chambal Valley, the rushes came and I saw myself and I hated myself. I thought, 바카라˜My God, you바카라™re horrible바카라™바카라ŠI didn바카라™t know that the film would take six years to get made.바카라

Recalling this phase, the actor continued, 바카라œI had no source of income in that period of time. I was living in Seven Bungalows at that time, I had a wonderful landlord, a Sardarji. He바카라™d come on the first of every month, and he바카라™d look at me and I바카라™d look at him. He바카라™d say, 바카라˜Nahi hai (You don바카라™t have the money, do you)?바카라™ And I바카라™d shake my head. He바카라™d say, 바카라˜Koi nahi, tu de dega (Never mind, I바카라™m sure you바카라™ll pay me).바카라™ He was the sweetest man; you need those kinds of breaks in your life.바카라

The actor also added that he does not like to talk about this dark time because he is afraid that he might manifest it again. He was last seen in 바카라˜Crakk.바카라™
