Sahil Phull: Insiders have to work hard in the project but outsiders have to work hard to bag a good project

Actor Sahil Phull has been in the industry for a very long time and he has been a part of shows like Uttaran, Piya Rangrezz, and Kundali Bhagya. Currently, he is seen playing a lead role in the show Kaatelal & Sons.

When asked about his opinion on the insider-outsider debate, Sahil told India Forums, "Everyone is entitled to their opinions when it comes to the insider-outsider debate. Some actors like me, have a strong and legitimate reason to believe in its existence. I have had my share of ups and downs for being a complete outsider to the industry. Whatever anybody might say, insiders definitely have an upper hand when it comes to connections. It's not their mistake that they hail from a filmy background. But when it comes to a debate on the insider-outsider issue, they definitely have an advantage over outsiders. They are very well aware of the whereabouts of different projects. It's easier for them to get into the industry as their family members can even talk them up to some makers, when they are not getting good projects on their own."

Adding to the same, he said, "The struggles are very different for insiders and outsiders on different levels. For insiders, it's difficult on a level when they have a pressure to do justice to the character because their parents are prominent personalities in the industry and if they don't perform well, they might malign the image of their parents in the industry. Insiders have to work hard in the project so as to enthrall their audiences but outsiders have to work hard to bag a good project in the first place."

Lastly, he encourages people to work hard for fulfilling their dreams and says, "If you want to do something in your life, have some patience and fight for it. You have to work very hard as there is no shortcut to success."

Apart from TV shows, the actor was also part of the Bollywood film Dishoom.
