He was young, full of dreams…: Saurabh Shukla says meeting Ranbir Kapoor on Barfi set “brought back his passion” for acting

Actor and writer Saurabh Shukla recently opened up about a difficult time in his life when he had almost started to lose interest in acting.

The veteran performer, known for his outstanding roles in films like ‘Satya’ and ‘Jolly LLB,’ shared that there was a phase when he only received small “cameos” in movies, which left him “frustrated.” However, it was during the filming of ‘Barfi’ that he rediscovered his love for acting, thanks to his interactions with Ranbir Kapoor.

While speaking to ANI, Shukla talked about the “low phase” and recalled how he had almost decided to step away when ‘Barfi’ director Anurag Basu approached him for the film.
