Now because of the same TV, which has made me famous, the film world is coming to me...It took me 15 years for this. It was not overnight.<br /><br />"I've handled failures and success and then reached here. I am extremely thankful to TV," said the actor, for whom respect in the industry matters the most.<br /><br />These days, Ram is caught up with promotion of "Humshakals".
