"My parents used to work in the Middle East. They left me with my grandmother to work there and earn for my education. But because they left me and I was very young, for many years I had that deep sense of betrayal and abandonment," the 36-year-old said here at a press meet of the film. <br /> He admits this feeling of being abandoned kind of helps him emote better on the big screen. <br /><br />"I have stayed in hostel all my life and even now I feel I am in a hostel. Somewhere, I still have that sense of abandonment and in a way, as an actor, it is also a fuel for me," he said. <br /><br />Directed by Ashishor Solomon, 'John Day' also stars Naseeruddin Shah in the title role and hits theatres on September 13.
