Actor Adarsh Gourav says he has improved at handling rejection as he has grown older. The 31-year-old recalled his first rejection on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa television show when he was deemed too young to participate, and footage of him crying in a red shirt later went viral. His acting career exposed him to constant criticism, but he says the experience strengthened his determination rather than defeated him. Gourav recently lost a significant opportunity due to what he described as a stupid reason, leaving him angry and upset for several days. He admits he is uncertain whether he processes failure better with age, but he has gained confidence that new opportunities will come. The Superboys of Malegaon star wrote on social media that his profession has taught him how to handle self-doubt and personal setbacks more effectively.
