Mysuru: Not everyone is lucky to enter the film industry. But, once one gets the lucky break, it is all about an individual’s skill to sustain and grow in their respective departments. There are many examples of aspiring actors and technicians giving up on their lives after failing to stamp their class in the glam world. But, there are few, who come out of the depression and lead a decent life taking up some other profession.

Even his son Shankar Ashwath made a successful entry into Kannada Film Industry and served it for about 25 years. But, he too lost opportunities after donning many characters of acting shades. What did he do? Left with no choice, Shankar Ashwath registered himself as a driver with Uber, a private cab-operating firm, in Bengaluru.
