Bedi
who
will
be
seen
in
the
upcoming
film,
Gunjan
Saxena:
The
Kargil
Girl
has
opened
up
about
the
backlash
the
film
has
been
receiving
on
social
media
due
to
the
ongoing
nepotism
debate.
The
film's
trailer
was
unveiled
recently,
and
it
showcased
Angad
playing
Gunjan's
brother,
who
had
also
joined
the
army.
Angad
while
talking
about
the
backlash
told
Mid-Day,
"It's
my
film,
too.
Everyone
has
a
right
to
their
opinion,
but
people
are
spitting
fire
against
one
another.
The
flak
[that
the
film
is
receiving]
is
unfair.
Every
industry
is
competitive."
According
to
reports,
Gunjan
Saxena's
trailer
received
over
1,50,000
likes
but
more
than
80,000
dislikes
on
YouTube.
Many
Twitter
users
are
urging
others
to
boycott
the
film
due
to
actress
Janhvi
Kapoor,
who
is
the
daughter
of
late
actress
Sridevi
and
producer
Boney
Kapoor,
and
producer
Karan
Johar,
who
has
been
receiving
backlash
since
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
untimely
death.
Angad
Shared
His
Experience
In
The
Competitive
Industry
Citing
his
own
example,
Angad
continued,
"I
have
auditioned
for
over
300
movies,
and
every
rejection
has
been
a
learning
experience.
My
role
in
Soorma
led
me
to
this
film.
I
had
gone
to
meet
Shashank
[Khaitan],
who,
in
turn,
made
me
meet
Sharan
(Sharma).
After
I
tested
for
the
role,
Sharan
told
Karan
[Johar]
he
wanted
me
for
the
part.
There
are
lakhs
of
people
in
the
industry,
so
it's
only
fair
that
we
all
get
a
chance.
Actors
are
like
any
other
professional
who
work
for
a
pay
cheque."
