Kartik Aaryan weighs in on insider-outsider debate

Kartik was quizzed about the idea of having his own kids and giving them the benefits of ‘nepotism’. The Chandu Champion actor opined, “Abhi toh sabko outsider banna hai. Jo hain bhi wo try karte hai ki outsider hi ho. (Everybody wants to be an outsider now. Those who are from film families also try they become outsiders).” 

He further said, “For a person who has always been a part of the industry have met with such people to show their talent more. For example, if I was from a family here (in the film industry), I would have been getting the same kind of exposure, that kind of director would have shown my acting powers in a different way because you have. That thing makes a difference many times that it is not an even ground. That even ground never existed. Maybe it has changed now, but it never existed and it is no one's fault.”
