Irrfan Khan’s wife Sutapa Sikdar comments on insider vs outsider debate, says “who is an outsider?”

In a lengthy post, the late actor’s wife asked who an outsider is and talked about how often the lines are blurred between an “insider” and an “outsider.”

The insider vs outsider debate has been going on in Bollywood for a long time now. Late actor Irrfan Khan‘s wife Sutapa Sikdar took to Facebook to write a lengthy note about her views on the topic.  She began her post by asking people who an outsider was. she delved deeper into the issue and reiterated the fact that the line between the so-called “insiders” and “outsiders” in the Hindi film industry is often blurred: “It’s grey the entire area.”

In her post, Sutapa Sikdar further said that her husband Irrfan Khan could also have been an outsider if he had agreed with the labels. She also revealed how the actor wouldn’t get invited to Bollywood parties and didn’t get front-page magazine coverage or photoshoots initially but instead of wasting his time gossiping about people, bad-mouthing or “getting depressed”, he honed his craft till he got the cover page and at last, he did get those opportunities.

She wrote “It’s a simple thing – no one owns Bollywood until or unless you think there are some people who own this industry. Bollywood couldn’t do s**t about Irrfan getting Hollywood offers.”
