‘I’ve been dying to get out from for a very long time’: Tara Sutaria opens up on how people tried to ‘box’ her

Actress Tara Sutaria is currently gearing up for her next venture Apurva. The actress has been away from the spotlight for quite a few years. She made her debut with Student of the Year 2 alongside Ananya Panday and Tiger Shroff. Now, in a recent interview, Tara opened up on how filmmakers only saw her as an urban character and people misunderstood her over the years. 

Tara Sutaria says people misunderstood her a lot 

In a recent interview with India Today, Tara Sutaria said that filmmakers did not see her except as an urban character. She added, “I did feel that. For a couple of instances in my career, I definitely did feel that way.” The actress also said that people misunderstood her a lot. 

According to her, a lot of young actors do feel that way. Tara further added that it was a mistake that she made for which people tried to box her and she could not get a chance to stand for as a performer. “I think the box that I was put in for whatever reason is something that I’ve been dying to get out from for a very long time,” added Sutaria. 

Speaking about how she feels when people misunderstand her, Tara shared that people see her as an urban person because she was born and raised in Mumbai. But she always observed people from everywhere and she feels like women, young women, and actors, tend to put everyone in a box for some reason. “And then we don’t like to take them out of that box. And we tend to judge very well. I think that definitely happened with me in my career,” elaborated Tara.

Helmed and penned by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, Apurva will also star Rajpal Yadav, Abhishek Banerjee, Dhairya Karwa, Sumit Gulati, and Aaditya Gupta alongside Tara. It will stream on Disney+ Hotstar from November 15.

Not Salman Khan but THIS actor was Sooraj Barjatya’s first choice for Prem in Maine Pyar Kiya

Salman Khan is set to make a powerful comeback on the big screen with the eagerly awaited Tiger 3. The renowned Bollywood action star began his film journey as a romantic hero in Sooraj Barjatya’s Maine Pyar Kiya. Interestingly, Salman wasn’t the initial choice for the film. The blockbuster was originally offered to the multi-talented actor, singer, lyricist, musician, and screenwriter, Piyush Mishra.

Piyush Mishra was the first choice for Salman Khan’s role in Maine Pyar Kiya

In an interview with Lallantop, Piyush Mishra revealed an intriguing story from his past. He recounted being in his final year at the National School of Drama (NSD) when Rajkumar Barjatya, the father of Sooraj Barjatya, approached him for a meeting at the Rajshri office in Prabhaldevi, Mumbai. Mishra humorously referred to this as a ‘beautiful accident’ and shared, “My NSD director summoned me to his office. Back in the day, I was quite good-looking. When I entered the room, I was introduced to Rajkumar Barjatya. He explained that they were working on a film called Maine Pyaar Kiya. They had already selected the female lead and had now come to NSD to find the male lead.”

Piyush also revealed that he initially agreed to meet but didn’t follow through. At that time, he harbored some bitterness towards the world for certain reasons. It was only three years later that he finally visited, and he discovered that Salman Khan had become a star with the film. Piyush viewed this development as remarkable. He added that had he gone back then, he might not have been able to pursue the kind of work that he ultimately did.
