Lakshya actor Amit Behl has opened up about being sidelined in films because he outperformed many lead actors.

Amit, known for his work in Lakshya and television shows like Shanti, spoke at length about competition in the film industry.

Recalling his experiences, he claimed that many of Bollywood’s superstars edited out his scenes because of their insecurities. “It feels bad,” he said.

However, he added that some actors, like Hrithik Roshan, allowed him to shine despite his lack of stardom.

Behl revealed how the Kaabil star encouraged him to kick him if required for a scene, calling it a defining moment in the film.

He said, “There is an iconic scene in the film where I punish Hrithik Roshan and get him enrolled in the obstacle course. Hrithik told me, ‘Sir, if needed, kick me. I am wearing a body pad, so don’t worry. Please kick me if you feel it is required because this scene is very important for the film.’ We did three takes for that shot, and Hrithik was covered in mud, but he still gave me that space.”

The Shanti actor also praised Farhan Akhtar and Hrithik Roshan for their professionalism at the peak of their careers.

For the unversed, the 2004-film also starred Preity Zinta, Amitabh Bachchan, and Om Puri in lead roles.
