Success has been another constant for Shetty.
Asked if he fears failure, he said: "Yes, I am afraid of failure. When you start a project, there is always this fear how it will end. But that fear can encourage you if you divert it to a positive direction with your positive attitude and hard work."
"You need to analyse things. More than anything you need to have a positive attitude that you are going to do something good, that you are not going to harm anyone and you are going to give it your best. So, all these things do work," added the son of yesteryear action star "Fighter Shetty".
A passionate filmmaker, Shetty is also involved with television.
The director, who had previously hosted "Big Switch - Season 3", will be seen anchoring action-adventure show "Khatron Ke Khiladi" for Colors channel.
Has he reached the acme of his career?
"I think there is a long way to go. Every now and then the technique changes; so it's not that I have achieved those heights. Whatever I have achieved so far is just a part of the journey," Shetty said.
