Mumbai: Raktanchal fame Kranti Prakash Jha has opened up about the struggles that shaped his journey in the entertainment industry, revealing that rejection, financial uncertainty and perseverance were all part of his road to success. While audiences know him today for memorable performances across films and OTT, the actor shared that the path to making it as an actor was far from easy.
Reflecting on the realities of pursuing an acting career, Kranti said, "Rejection is the rule of the world. You cannot escape it." The actor believes rejection is something no one can avoid and that accepting it is an important part of moving forward. He shared that every setback only strengthened his resolve to keep working towards his dream.
Recalling his early days in Mumbai, Kranti described the everyday hustle that came with chasing opportunities. "I remember I used to sit on a train from Goregaon. I used to go to Mahalakshmi by train, and we used to carry three clothes with us because when you travel by train, the clothes you have worn cannot be used because there is so much crowd and so much sweat. Then there is Famous Studio in Mahalakshmi; we used to go there and change, and then fix ourselves."

Aug 3, 2026The actor also revealed that appreciation did not immediately translate into success after M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story. "For two years, nothing changed. There was no disappointment as such, but yes, it was like, 'Why am I not getting work? Why is there no money?' Even though people liked it so much, this is not that I started considering myself a very good actor, I was humble then and I am humble today because these are the values given by my parents, but for two years, I was empty. I did not have work. I did not have money."
Despite those difficult years, Kranti never lost faith in his journey. Today, with the phenomenal success of Raktanchal 3, he is standing tall as one of the finest performers on OTT. His journey from battling rejection and financial uncertainty to winning audiences with his portrayal of Vijay Singh is a testament to resilience, humility and the power of perseverance.
