Shatrughan Sinha has talked about his early days in the Bollywood industry, and revealed that he was ‘embarrassed’ about his looks.

The veteran actor recently appeared on the chat show ‘The Invincibles’ hosted by Arbaaz Khan and opened up about his insecurities.

He said: “I used to feel very embarrassed, I used to think I am entering Bollywood with a face that was not perfect. I worried how will I make it in films with my face, what will I do about it? I was so worried that I had even spoken to a plastic surgeon.”

Earlier this month, in his interview with Aaj Tak, Sinha said: "I have had films which I have regretted. Like Deewaar. I regretted that I couldn't do the film. Deewaar was written for me. They had brought it to me. The script was with me for around six months.”

“But we had some creative differences and I returned the script back. Similarly, with Sholay, I was supposed to do it. The role that my friend Amitabh Bachchan did. They wanted me to do it. Some people wanted to do the role of Gabbar Singh,” the Raaste Kaa Patthar star added.

Sinha started his Bollywood career in 1869 with the film Sajan since then he has also appeared in films such as Gulzar Mere Apne and Dost.
