Kartik Aaryan On Being An Outsider In Bollywood
During a recent conversation with SCREEN, Kartik Aaryan opened up about his journey in Bollywood and the opportunities he lost as an outsider. Speaking on the debate he stated, “Meri bhi opportunities kai baar aise gai hai jahan pe mujhe aisa laga ki maybe I should have gotten the opportunity rather than someone who is from the family or whatever.” He further said that it wasn’t their fault as they were born in that family.
Aaryan said that he had made peace with the fact that he might lose opportunities to the industry insiders. He said that the same would happen if he had been born into such a family. He went on to suggest that while making such comparisons, people should consider what kind of creators and producers outsiders have access to as opposed to insiders.
In an earlier conversation with GQ, Kartik Aaryan stated that it had taken him a lot of introspection and inner work to realise that being an outsider was not a weakness. He said that everything he had done so far was a product of his own hard work. Spoken like a mature person there.
