Mumbai: Pulkit Samrat loves the power of cinema to make people laugh, cry and dance, as well as the public scrutiny that comes with being famous. But there was a time when it became disturbing for him and his family. "I have wanted to become an actor since my childhood. The fame and scrutiny was one part of it. But my main agenda was that I wanted to entertain people," informed Pulkit.
The actor, who took the small screen route to get into showbiz, said that, during his growing up years, he used to stand in front of the mirror and give speeches. "I always thought that I would not wear shades when I become a star. I was like, 'Why do we have to wear glares? People should recognise you when you stop at the signal'." But there was a phase when things turned a bit ugly for Pulkit.
"Public scrutiny is a part of the profession. And I kind of enjoy it. But there was a short spell in between when I found it a little disturbing because it kind of involved my family. That was a little disturbing, but I have learnt how to manage things; my family has learnt to balance things. We love every part of it. Why not be transparent when people want to know about you?"
