Life is not easy and movie-making is not easy, so we just had to go and do our job. The day you go when you don't have food in your tummy is challenging. To go and shoot with so many people taking care of you, there is no challenge. As actors, we are very pampered, so we just go and do our job, there is no drama."'Ghuspaith: Between Borders' will be out on JioCinema on October 6.
