The rise of the OTT platforms has given many outsiders a chance to show their talent to a global audience and win worldwide praise for their performances. Adarsh Gourav’s journey is another such story that is inspiring millions to follow their dreams despite all the odds.
Netflix India has just released a series of posts on Instagram that will take you on a journey of how an outsider broke into the entertainment industry despite having to face gargantuan odds. Adarsh Gourav at the age of 26 is making quite the name for himself not only in Bollywood but also in international circuits.
He has recently been nominated for Film Independent Spirit Awards along with the likes of internationally acclaimed artists like Riz Ahmed and the late Chadwick Boseman. Three years ago when he was finding it difficult to sustain himself via work his grandfather wrote him a heart-felt note which ensured Adarsh that they would always take care of him no matter what happened.
Adarsh saw this as both an opportunity to work harder as well as a safety net where the people you love really believe in you. He has worked hard ever since and all of that seems to have finally paid off. In a cast that comprises Rajkumar Rao, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Mahesh Manjrekar just being in the frame is a big achievement but Adarsh Gourav hits the ball out of the park as you simply cannot take your eyes away from him or his character.
Adarsh Gourav began his acting career at the tender age of 13 and has faced a truckload of rejections in his life but that has only motivated him to work harder to achieve his goals in life.
He has made several appearances in projects like Mom, My Name is Khan and Leila but the world seems to be at his feet with The White Tiger and we can only hope that he takes this and builds on his success even further.
