Sharman Joshi has been a part of the film industry for more than two decades. It was recently that the actor spoke about feeling like an outsider and being sorry for himself.
To news agency IANS, he had shared, "I still feel like an outsider. I understand that there is certain monogamy of certain generations of families that have been in business, and tomorrow my children would enjoy the fruit of my presence in Hindi cinema. I have established relationships with people, and they will get the advantage. It is about the time spent in the business and familiarity. There have been experiences and adventures that people share." He added, ""I understand that but I do feel a little sorry for me sometimes, that I was not connected to a film industry family. I was born into a theatre family, though, so I have plenty of experience on that front." Sharman has appeared in many hit films like Golmaal, Rang De Basanti, Mission Mangal, Life In A Metro and more.
May Arvind Joshi's soul rest in peace.
