Uday Chopra born with a film background but he never misused Yashraj Films for his success. "They work on projects and cast whoever suits the role. 'Neal 'n' Nikki' was not planned with me in mind. I was cast because they thought I suit the role," He explains. He is down to earth person. Success hasn't left him jumping with joy just like failure hasn't left him feeling down in the dumps. He adds, "Audiences would not accept or reject an actor, because he comes from a filmi background. On the screen, it's the talent that speaks, not the surname. So, being a Chopra gave me the ladder, but I have to make the journey to the top alone."
