Ravi Dubey Opens Up About Favouritism In The Television Industry; Says ‘Pick Anyone On TV, All Are Outsiders’

The supremely talented Sushant Singh Rajput began his career with television and successfully transitioned into the Hindi film industry with his spectacular performances, effortless acting skills and hard work. The actor had a long way to go and had many dreams to fulfill, but sadly we lost him way too soon. His untimely demise not only left his fans heartbroken, but also brought back the ‘insiders vs outsiders’ debate into the limelight. While many stars have admitted that nepotism does exist in Bollywood and star kids do have it easy, does the same happen in our television industry?

Talking about the same in a candid chat with Pinkvilla, actor Ravi Dubey shared that he would like to defend the TV industry because he feels TV is one industry that has a very big heart and embraces everyone without any prejudice or discrimination. However, he added, “Of course, it has its own challenges but favouritism is not something I have witnessed. The reason I am saying is the deadline-centric medium that TV is, the right casting is extremely important. There is no time for favouritism on TV. All of us have worked through the process of auditions, more auditions, and finally crack something and struggle. Pick anyone on television, all of them are outsiders.”

Ravi also stated that rarely you will see anyone who belongs to a certain family. He shared, “I have every bit of whoever I am, I have television to thank for. I feel a lot of people look down upon TV, and sadly mostly from our industry itself, they don’t give it the due regards. It is unfortunate because it is the only medium that embraces without prejudice.”
