Speaking about his journey, Talpade shared, “In my entire career, my primary focus has been on focusing on my craft. I have always had tremendous self-belief in my abilities and that courage has certainly helped me do my bit. For me personally, I have never taken success or failure both seriously. Both are part and parcel of life and definitely not constant. The only thing for me that's constant in my journey is my consistency and that's what I strive for.”

Shreyas went on to state, “I feel my personal conviction blended with the unwavering love and blessings from my audience has what helped me remain relevant and I am so grateful to my audience, my directors and producers, my co-actors and everyone who has wished well for me. I am currently all the way more motivated to do well and entertain everyone.”
