Actor Dino Morea entered the Hindi film industry just before the turn of the century. After making his mark in the fashion sphere, the supermodel turned to acting with the Raj Kaushal film Pyaar Main Kabhi Kabhi (1999). His next film, Raaz (2002), made him an overnight sensation, and he received high praise for his role. His career slowed down in the 2010s, which prompted him to diversify. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, the actor shared the insecurities that he faced after the offers started drying up. He also shared the importance of staying in touch with reality. "When you are sitting at your home and waiting for the offers, sometimes you do bad roles just to remain relevant for the audience," said the actor.

He said that in the current scenario, there are no 'lead roles, just characters,' and that the industry has evolved. "Now you can't go around thinking you're the lead role or you deserve one; you need to face reality," the actor added that he understands his current worth in the industry, and that is the reason why he is doing smaller roles more often. He said that his parents taught him to be kind and humble to everyone, because you never know when you might need their help. When asked whether he ever needed monetary help from his parents during his low phase, Dino replied that he was the one taking care of his parents. "I did not want to choose the wrong movies, but in order to do that you need to earn money from somewhere else, like a business," he said. The actor has made a return since the 2020s, working in Telugu and Malayalam films like Agent and Bandra, and was also seen in the web series The Empire. He was last seen in Mere Husband Ki Biwi alongside Bhumi Pednekar and Arjun Kapoor.
