Ishaan Khatter says ‘Talent’ isn’t the only thing required to make it big: “Many Factors weigh into your Success”

Ishaan Khatter has been making it to the headlines for some time now and the actor has worked his way to success. He marked his debut with - Beyond the Cloud which was directed by Majid Majidi who is known to be one of the finest filmmakers in the world. The 24-year-old has been honing his skill and his next will be Mira Nair’s series A Suitable Boy. 

While Bollywood has been divided over opinions about insider vs outsider debate, Ishaan believes that ‘Talent’ isn’t the only thing required to make it big.

Talking to Hindustan Times Ishaan said, “There are so many factors and things that weigh into your success, or your positioning or recognition, whatever it is that people define success by.” He added that even though opportunities aren’t always equal, everybody has their own journey.

“Sometimes, people are given opportunities before their time, or above their capabilities, and they’re not able to make much of it. Sometimes, people get opportunities that they feel, or it could be true and universal fact that they deserve more than, and they make their place through their hard work and consistency,” said the 24-year-old.

The Dhadak actor elaborated on these factors and said that he has personally seen hard-working people, surpass talented people.

I know of people who’re talented but didn’t quite develop it into a skill. So yes, it depends. While there’s a lot of judgment outside, I don’t think people fully understand how things work. It’s really an amalgam of so many factors — hard work, luck, being at the right place at the right time, preparation — that result in you getting your space.
