Tara Sutaria Feels It's 'Difficult And Lonely' To Navigate The Industry As An Outsider
Tara Sutaria says navigating Bollywood as an outsider is lonely and tough. She wishes she had guidance and support early in her career. Tara Sutaria is one of the most loved actresses of Bollywood. She made her big Bollywood debut with Dharma Productions' Student of the Year 2, co-starring Ananya Panday and Tiger Shroff. As she completed over five years in the industry, the actress opened up about how, as an outsider, it is difficult to navigate the business, calling it a 'lonely task." In an interview with The Times of India, Tara looked back at her journey and shared, 'It took many years to get used to a lot of things and to understand how the industry functions and works… It has also been a very difficult and lonely task to manoeuvre and navigate so many things because when you're not from the inside, you don't have anybody to really discuss things with or seek advice from." 'There have been so many instances in my career where I wish I could have had guidance. I wish I could have had people from inside the industry help me out," Tara further added. She also feels that when someone from inside the industry joins the business, they already have a lot of knowledge about how it functions. Tara Sutaria was recently in the headlines during the wedding of her ex-boyfriend and best friend, Aadar Jain, and Alekha Advani. She again made news after rumours of her dating actor Veer Pahariya surfaced. It was reported that the rumoured couple recently went on a dreamy vacation to Italy. Veer, who belongs to a prominent political family and is the grandson of former Maharashtra CM Sushilkumar Shinde, was previously rumoured to be dating Sara Ali Khan. He later made headlines for his frequent public appearances with Manushi Chhillar. Tara, on the other hand, was in a relationship with Aadar Jain, cousin to Ranbir Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan. The two parted ways, and Aadar later married Tara's friend Alekha Advani in February 2025. Tara was briefly linked to actor Arunoday Singh post-breakup, but she dismissed the rumours, calling him 'just a friend." Whether or not Tara and Veer are Bollywood's newest couple, their Italian holiday has certainly caught everyone's attention. First Published:

Tara Sutaria calls her Bollywood journey as an outsider ‘lonely': You don't have anybody to discuss things
Actor Tara Sutaria entered Bollywood in 2019 with Student of the Year 2. Now, in a new interview, Tara shared that she is proud of herself that she could navigate the 'difficult' business, going on to call it a lonely task. Also read: Are Tara Sutaria-Veer Pahariya on a romantic holiday in Italy? Pics go viral, fans say 'Veer Sara aur ab Veer Tara' Tara Sutaria made her debut with Student of the Year 2. Tara looks back In an interview with The Times of India, Tara looked back at her journey of being in the film industry. Tara said, 'When I began my career in films, I didn't know a lot of people in the industry, and I was new to a lot of this whole world of filmmaking. So, it took many years to get used to a lot of things, and to understand how the industry functions and works... It has also been a very difficult and a very lonely task to manoeuvre and navigate so many things because when you're not from the inside, you don't have anybody to really discuss things with, seek advice from'. She feels a lot of people who come from filmy backgrounds have a lot of inside information about films. Over time, she figured out her own space. In the interview, Tara shares that things can be tricky when one is a 'relatively reserved and introverted' person. 'There have been so many instances in my career where I wish I could have had guidance, I wish I could have had people from the inside of the industry help me out. In my experience it's best to listen to your gut and intuition for your own career,' added Tara. Right now, she is happily focusing on quality work rather than quantity. About Tara's career Tara, who gained popularity with Disney sitcom The Suite Life of Karan & Kabir, entered Bollywood with Student of the Year 2, Marjaavaan, and Ek Villain Returns. Tara was also seen in OTT project, Apurva. She was most recently seen in a song video opposite Ishaan Khatter. She is now gearing up for her next project, Awarapan 2, a sequel to the 2007 hit, in which she will be seen alongside Emraan Hashmi. Tara has recently made headlines for her personal life, particularly her past relationship with Aadar Jain. She is now getting linked with Veer Pahariya.

Tara Sutaria Says Her Bollywood Journey Has Been 'Lonely And Difficult' As An Outsider
Last Updated: Tara Sutaria reveals her struggle as an outsider in Bollywood, calling her journey lonely and difficult. "I had no one to guide me or seek advice from," she shares. Tara Sutaria, who burst onto the Bollywood scene in 2019 with Student of the Year 2, has steadily carved her own niche in the industry. But her rise has not come without its fair share of challenges. In a candid new interview with The Times of India, the actor reflected on her journey, calling it 'lonely" and 'difficult," particularly because she had no insider support to fall back on. 'When I began my career in films, I didn't know a lot of people in the industry, and I was new to a lot of this whole world of filmmaking," Tara said, recalling her early days. 'It took many years to get used to a lot of things, and to understand how the industry functions and works." She admitted that navigating the landscape without connections or mentors was especially tough. 'It has also been a very difficult and a very lonely task to manoeuvre and navigate so many things because when you're not from the inside, you don't have anybody to really discuss things with, seek advice from." The actor pointed out how those with filmi backgrounds tend to have more access and industry insight from the start, something she had to figure out on her own. For someone who identifies as 'relatively reserved and introverted," this added another layer of complexity to her career journey. 'There have been so many instances in my career where I wish I could have had guidance, I wish I could have had people from the inside of the industry help me out," Tara revealed. 'In my experience, it's best to listen to your gut and intuition for your own career." Now, with a few notable projects under her belt—including Marjaavaan, Ek Villain Returns, and her recent OTT appearance in Apurva—Tara says she's more focused than ever on choosing quality over quantity. She was last seen in a music video opposite Ishaan Khatter and is gearing up for Awarapan 2, where she stars alongside Emraan Hashmi. Outside of work, Tara has also been in the headlines for her personal life. After her breakup with Aadar Jain, she is now being linked with Veer Pahariya, although neither has publicly confirmed the relationship. First Published: July 05, 2025, 18:16 IST
