Family Man actor Darshan Kumaar opens up about financial crisis post Mary Kom, says he would 'survive the entire day eating Parle G'

Darshan Kumaar has had a good debut in Bollywood. The actor appeared opposite Priyanka Chopra in Mary Kom and played her on-screen husband. But, while that performance did look like it would push his career and take him to new heights, he was left battling a financial crisis and no work as went for audition after audition.

The actor, who recently appeared in Raj and Dk's The Family Man 2, opened up about this struggle. In a recent interview with Times Now, he revealed, "I used to walk 5 to 7 kms because I couldn't afford buses every day, to go for the auditions. So, instead of taking bus tickets, I used to use that money and buy Parle G (biscuit) so I could survive the entire day outside, eating that Parle G packet. After that, I used to do dubbing for 400 to 500 rupees, full day. That was a very tough time. Because full day you are working really hard, shouting and, doing stuff but you are hardly getting paid."

He also added that A-list directors would reject him claiming he isn't 'bankable'. He said, "All A-list directors used to meet me and they would say ya 'Darshan we want to make a film with you. You are superb actor and have good looks. But we need bankable actors, who can recover money within three days. You become something big then we will take you'."

We hope that after his stint as Major Sameer in the Family Man series, now things would finally change for him!
