Quotes
Rahul Dholakia
Director of 'Raees'
“Our industry is such a performance-driven industry that people are afraid to say they're not well. There's always a fear of being dropped. No one wants to look weak. That's a big problem - it's always do or die. Your life is yours. Don't let anyone take it away from you. If you feel low, don't feel shy to take help - you have to look after yourself.”

“My mom was in the ICU, I was suffering from chronic pain... but I couldn't take off. SRK was on set, and I had to shoot. I would stay with my mom at the hospital at night, then come to set and pretend everything was normal. It was a nightmare - but you can't bring your problems on set.”
