Too much criticism could get to a person. That`s exactly what`s happened to Tusshar Kapoor. Harangued by the press for his non-happening status, pathetic dress sense and little acting talent, Jeetendra`s son is in an introspective mood. So is he going to give up acting and pay serious heed to all the denigration?

No way. The boy is determined to prove his detractors wrong. And for a start, he has decided to take the matter in his hands. "He is sick of hearing charges that he is but a Balaji Films` product," said a unit hand.Hence it`s going to be a strict regimen after shoots comprising regular exercise, a staple diet of fruits and salads and diction and acting lessons from the best of gurus. In addition to this his mother`s and sister`s advice hang like a Damocles` sword over him, "No girlfriends till you make it," the mother-daughter duo has instructed in unison.

It may be difficult how much time he has at his disposal to "hone his skills" and make himself well-toned since he seen shooting round the clock. But it seems he is taking his folks` counsel rather earnestly.After all Esha, Kareena, Gracy and Amisha are all either "good friends" or "great costars"!
