Recalling his initial days, when Mimoh sought help from his father to reach out to directors, the Khakee actor recalled, “There was a time when people would not even respond to dad, it was because of me. Today, I am a part of this industry. There are two things which are very real about our industry – one is that it is very professional, and because of that, you cannot mix emotions or obligations. Two, if you are united with them, they will stick by you. Just because I got Khakee, I cannot sit here and say that everybody is nice. Back then, I wouldn’t understand this, I would feel that if you aren’t replying to me, at least respond to Dad. Everything was going against.”

“Whenever anything negative happened, there would also be a glimpse of hope. Casting directors would message me to audition for a TV show, and they would disappear, I would not find any roles, then again after a couple of months, a message offering work would come. Whenever I felt it was not working out, there would be a sign that would put me on the path,” Mimoh added.

In an earlier interview, Mimoh said the only two people who helped him through the years are Karan Johar and Salman Khan. “Salman Bhai and Karan Johar, they are the only two who have actually helped me. Salman Bhai loves dad a lot, and whenever I message asking if I can meet him, he says, ‘aaja, come over’. I go and chill with him, he sits with me, gives me a lot of good advice. Karan Johar has gone out of his way to help me and Namashi, my brother. He has introduced me to so many people, connected me with so many people and agencies,” he had told Bollywood Helpline.

Mimoh also recalled the time his father went through a worse patch than he had professionally. He also thanked Salman for being like an elder brother to him.
