Sohum Shah recently opened up about his journey in Bollywood so far and how he had to put in extra effort and be extra patient to make it. According to the actor, his journey was long and tough, coming from a small town. He had limited exposure to films while growing up and felt alienated in the city. Sohum always dreamt of acting, inspired by Shah Rukh Khan, but initially felt it was far from his reach. He struggled with the thought of leaving Mumbai for several years but eventually found the courage to pursue his dream through his film ‘Tumbbad’. Sohum also faced challenges due to his limited knowledge of English and unfamiliarity with renowned personalities like Martin Scorsese or Tom Cruise. However, he feels that the industry is changing and accepting Hindi language films more. In the past, not knowing English created a class difference, but now Hindi is considered cool. Sohum Shah’s journey in Bollywood highlights the struggles and aspirations of actors coming from non-filmy backgrounds.
