Kartik Aaryan on losing roles to people from film families

In a conversation with The Indian Express, Kartik said, “Meri bhi opportunities kayi baar aise gayi hai jahan pe mujhe aisa laga ki (I have also lost opportunities where I thought) maybe I should have gotten the opportunity rather than someone who is from the family or whatever.”

The insider vs outsider debate refers to the perception that young actors who are children or relatives of established stars get more opportunities than those who come from outside the industry with no godfathers or guides. But Kartik has made his peace with it. “It’s not their fault. I have made my peace with it. If I had been born in that family, the same would have happened to me too,” the actor added.
