His childhood was spent in troubles, he has talked about this many times before. In a recent interview, he called himself lucky and cursed.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali has had an inspiring journey in the last few years. SLB In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Bhansali said, ‘Every artist has to be humiliated. If you are not made fun of or are not angry about whatever right or wrong happened to you, then you will not know how to express. You will have nothing to say. The expression comes from anger.
I am lucky that…
He further said that I am lucky to be born in trouble. I am lucky to be born in a 300 square feet colorless chawl. I am lucky to be born to a father who left behind unfulfilled dreams. This gave me more patience than any filmmaker can get.
‘Contradiction makes me me’
Bhansali further said in the conversation, ‘You have to understand that I am very cursed and blessed. I got a lot of love and hate too. I am very successful and also unsuccessful. This contradiction is what makes me me. I will always be like this.
Mother used to perform in a small place…
Sanjay Leela Bhansali further said, my mother was a dancer who used to perform in a small space, because we lived in a chawl. On the contrary, my heroines dance in expensive settings. Whatever trauma I faced enriched my filmmaking. I see myself as a sensible person. I ask myself how I can organize all this chaos. This staging originates from my childhood.
