Tusshar Kapoor, who is known for his roles in films like ‘Golmaal’, ‘Kya Kool Hain Hum’ and ‘Dhol’, has one advice for a star kid ready to enter the film industry to put on armor since it would be a difficult journey. It’s easy for someone from a film family to make their debut, but the actor, who has seen his share of ups and downs since then, contends that the road is far more difficult for them after that.
During a conversation with The Indian Express, Tusshar shared, “When you are somebody’s son or daughter, then you better be strong and tough. No matter how many hits you give, there is an effort to pull you down or try to highlight what you haven’t done more than what you have done. If you are not from the film world, even with very little achievement, people say ‘Wow, what have you done!’.”
When Tusshar was asked the odds stacked against the outsiders who must compete for that initial opportunity, he shared that I want people to understand that it’s a fair level playing field for everyone. The actor added that securing a break in the film industry may be more accessible for those within the field due to their established connections. However, once that initial opportunity is obtained, success largely depends on individual relationships, the quality of the film produced, on-screen performance, and overall marketability. The situation can be particularly challenging for industry insiders, who must navigate a series of evaluations to convince both peers and the broader audience that their presence in the industry is attributable to their own talent. Ultimately, audiences seek entertainment and do not wish to engage with any inherent biases.
Tusshar admitted that he is having more fun with current stage of his profession than the early years. “I look back at my time in the industry with a lot of nostalgia. I have only gotten happier with time. Initially, I was still trying to figure out what I was good at and how to navigate in the film world. I am not really that social or outgoing. I had to get out of my comfort zone in the earlier days. I like the growth I have had in the industry. I have understood what it really takes to be happy in the entertainment world. You just don’t shoot and move on. You have to be approachable, media savvy, socialise,” the actor remarked.
On the work front, Tusshar will be next seen in chapter two of ‘Dus June Kii Raat’. Directed by Tabrez Khan, the comedy-thriller stars Tusshar Kapoor and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary.
