"The White Tiger really put me on the map, I feel like I am getting the best of both worlds" : Adarsh Gaurav

Adarsh Gourav, star of The White Tiger, says filming for the science fiction series Extrapolations in the US was a dream trip. He recalls strolling through New York City streets with a cup of coffee in hand, visiting the famous Central Park, and simply soaking up life on the go. The actor hopes that the positive reviews of the movie and his current role in the Apple TV climate change series will help him find good roles in both India and the West. The actor rose to international fame for his performance in Ramin Bahrani's 2021 film adaptation of the Aravind Adiga novel of the same name. 

“The White Tiger really put me on the map. I feel like I am getting the best of both worlds. Best of what’s happening in India and what’s happening in the West. I am just hoping to capitalise and make the most of my opportunities right now because I want to be a citizen of the world. I want to be a global actor,” Gourav told in an interview.

The Bafta-nominated actor, who now has representation in both the US and UK, recalls how he could not promote or join the awards campaign of The White Tiger due to the Covid-19 pandemic. “I attended Baftas from my living room and the Oscars from my living room,” he added. But that has not dampened Gourav’s determination to find his place in the global acting community. “I know in my gut that I will be travelling a lot with my work. It will happen,” he said.
