/> With his debut film KAL KISSNE DEKHA slated for release shortly, Jackky Bhagnani is experiencing various emotions. But getting there wasn't a cakewalk.

"People think it's easy when you have a godfather in the industry. The truth is, it's all the more pressurizing. I hate being called bade baap ka beta.

Even if I wasn't Vashu Bhagnani's son, I'd want to be an actor. I've been working on myself since I was 16. It's not easy realizing a dream especially when the world says that you don't have what it takes.

It's my personal conviction and dedication that drove me. I literally had to start from minus, " Jackky admits in a heartfelt conversation.

KAL KISSNE DEKHA launches Jackky Bhagnani as a non-conventional hero and though that might seem as a slight risk to some, he feels differently.

"The audience today is open-minded, so I wanted to entertain them in a new way rather than taking the beaten path, " he justifies.

Whenever a newcomer makes a high-profile debut, he's inundated with plum offers even before his debut film hits the screen. But Jackky doesn't seem to be in a hurry.

"I just want to wait and concentrate on this film. Also, the offers must excite me since I would want to outdo myself the next time. I am my biggest critic, " the confident debutante tells me.

Jackky cherishes the experience of sharing screen space with icon Rishi Kapoor. "I was very nervous initially. But he made me so comfortable. It was a dream to work with him and I feel blessed that I got an opportunity in my very first film, " he states.
