Want to set an example: Vicky
Riding high on the success of Uri: The Surgical Strike, actor Vicky Kaushal says he has never cared about following the norms in the film world — whether it is for the protagonist's part, a secondary part or debuting with a film like Masaan.
The actor, whose next projects include Karan Johar's grand ensemble film Takht, believes in setting his journey as an example for others and not really to follow others' journey. Asked what makes him a game changer, Vicky said, “I guess following my gut and not really going by the rules of the book. As an actor, I have not really been stuck up with the kind of work that people around me are doing.”
‘I am having a great time while filming Kabir Singh. I think the film is very special and Arjun Reddy (Telugu film) was amazing. It's very stressful working on a remake, especially when it’s iconic and has been loved so much. I am playing a very challenging role. It releases on June 21 and I am super excited.’

Actress Vaani Kapoor said that she wants to show her versatility as an actress in her forthcoming films.
Talking about how she wants to see herself on-screen, the Befikre actress said, “I want to show my versatility as an actress in my films. In both my forthcoming films, whether it is Shamshera or the one where I am sharing screen space with Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, both are very different roles and stories. As an actress, I want to live many lives. So, I hope people can see me in a different avatar.”
Roma star faced discrimation
Roma star Yalitza Aparicio says she has faced discrimination because of the colour of her skin.
She said, “I felt it quite strongly. I've been discriminated against because of the colour of my skin. When I was a kid, I wasn't allowed into certain groups, for example. Also, my mother works in a house. Sometimes people didn't see her work as dignified, and that was hard.”
The first-time Oscar nominee was planning to pursue a career as a schoolteacher when she auditioned for Alfonso Cuaron's film Roma, which tackled the discrimination she endured growing up in Mexico. She is glad that she did the film.
