ADARSH GOURAV, THE WHITE TIGER THAT STOLE HEARTS!
If you aren’t gushing over Adarsh Gourav yet, you probably haven’t watched ‘The White Tiger’. The film released on Netflix this Friday and the actor-songwriter has taken the world by storm! Yes, you read that right — he is also a trained musician.
Born in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, Adarsh was earlier seen in films like – ‘Rukh’, ‘Mom’, ‘My Name is Khan’, ‘Hostel Daze’ and Netflix’s own, ‘Leila’. While the world is in awe of this multi-talented, ace of an actor, we found out that he is equally hardworking as he is talented. Turns out, before starting to shoot for The White Tiger, Adarsh went to a small village in Jharkhand for 2 weeks to study the intricacies of the character he was playing to understand Balram’s background. He also worked at a food stall in Delhi for a minimal salary as a part of his preparation. Like we weren’t impressed already!
With his sheer dedication and his undeniable presence on screen, we are assured that Adarsh Gourav has a LONG way to go. He is also eligible to be nominated for The Best Actor in a Leading Role at the Oscars and has been nominated for Best Male Lead at Independent Spirit Awards. Cheers to you Adarsh!
The White Tiger is now streaming on Netflix!
