Perception is that I had it easy: Jackky Bhagnani

Actor Jackky Bagnani, son of film producer Vashu Bhagnani, says the perception about him has been that his entry into Bollywood has been easy. But he asserts that it has not been an easy ride.

Jackky, who was appreciated for his performance in "Youngistaan", told IANS: "The perception is that I had it easy, but it has not been an easy ride for me. So, finally to reach a point where I am being praised in whatever small way for my performance in 'Youngistaan' obviously feels good."

"Honestly, 'Youngistaan' opened a lot of doors for me and I am in talks with lot of people."

The actor, who has mostly worked under his father's banner Pooja Entertainment so far, says "fortunately or unfortunately, we are one of the top 15-20 film productions houses (in India), so even if I leave this house it should be for something big."

Jackky's latest film is "Welcome 2 Karachi", in which he stars with Arshad Warsi, is directed by Ashish R Mohan and released on Friday.
