Adarsh Gourav: “I get a reality check every now and then”

Adarsh Gourav admits that the success of The White Tiger after its release on Netflix last year has fulfilled many of his dreams. Notwithstanding, the actor believes that he is still ‘hardly’ well known, which he discovered when he attempted to ‘pull some strings’ last year. Adarsh, who recently uncovered that he is dating a graphic designer, recalled that he was attempting to book a table for them on Valentine’s Day last year when he got a ‘reality check’ about his fame. Adarsh said not many recognised him when he made calls to restaurants.

Talking to Mid-Day about being ‘famous’, Adarsh said: “Oh, hardly. I get a reality check every now and then. I was in Rajasthan last year for Valentine’s Day, and we wanted a table. Every place was booked out. Someone suggested we pull strings.”

Recalling the incident, he added, “So, I made calls to restaurants, and no one there had even watched the film. Eventually, one place knew me. They gave me a table, but that’s because they weren’t sold out.”
