Gourav with Chopra and Rao in the film
The actor reveals he never revisited Ramin Bahrani's directorial venture after its release. "I don't like watching my movies. I watched it a few times to know what went right and what went wrong. But beyond that, it feels narcissistic.
I can't look beyond a few scenes which I didn't nail," he says, citing the example of a sequence that was edited out. "In the scene, Ashok [Rajkummar Rao] sleeps with a sex worker after Pinky [Priyanka Chopra] leaves him. On realising that Ashok has done this, Balram feels he can do it too. He meets a girl, has a chat and sleeps with her. I was terrible at it."
Gourav admits that The White Tiger has given him everything he had dreamed of. So, how famous is he now? "Oh, hardly. I get a reality check every now and then," he laughs. "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. 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."
