He even played the lead role in his 2007 show Kayamath. But that was not enough for Jay. He had to struggle a lot to reach where he is today. In an interview with TOI, the actor revealed that his breakthrough came after several “sleepless nights”. Jai said, ‘The journey is not easy. It has many ups and downs. It took me 2000 auditions to get that success. Double sleepless nights and hard work to get to where I am today.”
