Well, I’d normally advise to take some humble pie but who can blame him. This is a ruthless industry and you’re on your own if you don’t have a sponsor behind you. So if no one powerful has faith in you or support you behind scenes, you have to over compensate by being shrewd and blowing your own trumpet. That’s something that Sushant (RIP) should have done more as talent is sadly not enough to succeed against BW sharks. Ranveer was very cocky when he debuted as a way to compensate as he wasn’t « fitting in » personality and beauty wise (same for Anushka) and it was probably the best strategy. Will never forget that KWK episode where Karan literally admitted on TV that he did everything he could to convince Aditya not to cast them as they were too ugly.
