Actor Tahir Raj Bhasin says he was rejected around 250 times before being signed by Aditya Chopra for the film 'Mardaani'. "Anything that's worthwhile takes time and this is something I understood when I first came to Mumbai. I was rejected from some 250 auditions over three years before 'Mardaani', but I used this as positive fuel and feedback," said Tahir.

He added: "It meant I needed to grow and growth came from workshops and hours of practice."
