During a conversation with Screen, Kartik Aaryan opened up on the never-ending insider vs outsider debate. The actor said, “I’ve also had opportunities where I felt like maybe I should have got this opportunity instead of someone coming from my family or whatever (I’ve also missed opportunities where I thought That I should have got the) opportunity instead of someone who came from family or whatever.
He further said that all this keeps happening, but it is not his fault because he was born in that family. Had he been born there, the same thing would have happened to him. “It’s not their fault. I’ve made my peace with it,” he revealed. The Pyaar Ka Punchnama newcomer believes that when such comparisons are made, people should compare what kind of opportunities outsiders are getting with producers and producers compared to insiders.
The actor said that even if people compare the equal number of films he has worked on, one should consider who he has been given the opportunity to work with. “I think that’s a comparison that might be fair,” he said. During an earlier interview with GQ India, Aryan had said that he had to do a lot of introspection and inner work to realize that being an outsider is not a weakness. He said, “Whatever I have done so far is the result of my own hard work.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Kartik Aryan was seen in Chandu Champion last year. After this came the horror-comedy film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Anees Bazmee’s hit film also featured Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit and Trupti Dimri in lead roles.
