Actor Zeyn Shaw is gearing up for his big screen release Farrey today, November 24. His performance as Prateek in the Elite's Indian remake was widely appreciated despite the limitations of his American accent. In a recent conversation with Zeyn, he mentioned that he resonated with the character ever since he heard the brief.
"I put a lot of myself into the role. Prateek is just like me when I was in school. But when you have an ambition to make a career, it requires a lot of hard work. I am on that road now," said Zeyn, who is keeping his hopes high with the film. He further added, "But I know everything happens for a reason. If something doesn't work out, move on, do something else, and things will be okay. Working hard is all I can do."
When asked about the initial challenges he faced after moving to Mumbai from New York four years ago, Zeyn shared that he was rejected multiple times. “Back then, I could barely speak Hindi, and I had a bit of an accent. The casting director told me, 'Sweetie, you're never going to make it here'. It was my first meeting, and I felt embarrassed. When my mom asked about it, I lied and said it went amazing. Despite the rejection, I kept moving forward,” he said.
He further mentioned that rejections didn't break him as he had a good support system. "I just think I'm very blessed to have a good support system. My parents were lovely about it, and they gave me time. I don't deal well with rejections. I feel horrible about them. You come out of it by moving on to the next one."
Elaborating further about his insecurities, the actor said, "I'm insecure about a lot of things about myself. But I don't project my insecurities. Dealing with a lot of rejections has made me insecure but I am moving forward and I am confident with myself. Moreover, this industry makes you humble."
With his latest film Farrey, Zeyn Shaw is sure to make his mark in the industry. We wish him all the best for his future endeavors.
