After playing supporting roles in films like Uri: The Surgical Strike and 83, Dhairya Karwa landed a substantial role in Shakun Batra's Gehraiyaan. The actor born in Jaipur made heads turn when he played an army officer in Uri and appeared in the Prime Video web series Made In Heaven.?
In an interview with PTI, the actor was quoted as saying,?
¡°I avoid using the word ¡®struggle¡¯ because it has a negative connotation to it. I call it the aspiring stage where I put all the effort and try to grow in my career. It is a growing and learning phase. Fortunately, things are getting better and better. I can¡¯t complain; I am happy,¡± the actor said.
¡°I am meeting filmmakers, and things are picking up. Hopefully, there should be some news soon (about other upcoming films). But from modeling to acting, giving auditions and being chosen for films like Uri¡¯, ¡¯83¡¯ hasn¡¯t been an overnight change but gradual,¡± he added.?
The actor believes whatever rejections he has faced early on in his career were nothing short of a blessing in disguise as it made him patient enough to wait for the right characters.
¡°In retrospect, now going through all the hard days, I feel great as something better was meant to happen,¡± he added.?
"Sometimes I feel life has better plans, and what is meant for you will come around for you. You can¡¯t sit at home, and one has to put in the effort. Opportunities do come, but you also need to work towards them. Destiny will play its part, but one can¡¯t wait for an opportunity to hit you. One has to keep working hard,¡± he said.?
Karwa, an untrained actor, said auditions had been a learning ground for him.?
¡°I just kept giving auditions whenever I learned about a film, and that¡¯s how ¡®Uri,¡¯¡¯83¡¯ and ¡®Gehraiyaan¡¯ happened¡ I have been fortunate that I got to work with talented actors; that is another schooling for me, by just observing them,¡± he said.?
In this duration, Karwa understood the scale of the movie being ¡°big¡± and the fact that it starred big ¡°stars.¡±?
Touted as a drama about complex modern relationships, the film also stars Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Ananya Panday.
