Manushi Chillar views on outsiders in B-Town

Manushi Chillar views on outsiders in B-Town. Manushi Chhillar, who is gearing up for her upcoming film 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan', recently opened up about the challenges faced by 'outsiders' in Bollywood. In an exclusive interview, the actor discussed how not belonging to a 'filmy' family has been both a challenge and a blessing in her journey.

Being relatively new to the industry with just two films under her belt, Manushi reflected on the advantages of her outsider status, stating, "I guess the biggest pro for me being an outsider is that I bring a fresh perspective. My upbringing is so different from those belonging to the film industry, and I am sure that I bring something different to the table. We are eventually a result of our exposures in life."

She also emphasized the confidence that comes with making her own choices, "This also brings a certain sense of confidence because I have always believed that life is what you make it. This (acting) was not something that was expected of me. I wasn’t asked by anyone to become an actor because I belonged to a certain family. This profession is something that I chose for myself, and that sense of confidence is what I will always have."

However, Manushi acknowledged the challenges of being an outsider, especially in terms of information and accessibility in the initial stages of entering the industry. She compared her previous experience as a medical student, which was more familiar, to the newness of the film industry. Despite the hurdles, she finds the journey exciting and is determined to learn and grow in her new career.

Manushi made her debut with 'Samrat Prithviraj' and was recently seen in 'Operation Valentine' alongside Varun Tej. Her upcoming film 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' also stars Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, and Alaya in lead roles.
