The issue has been in debates for several years but was reignited after the tragic death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Addressing the "insider vs outsider" issue, the actor said that he does not understand the word "outsider". He said that it’s a 'mean word' at the end of day and one needs to be careful about what they do. He added that one needs to understand that things do get difficult for everyone at one point in time.

Aparshakti Khurana also said the word "Outsider" does not mean anything because apparently an outsider will get married and their kids will aspire to become an actor. Speaking about being trolled, he said that he has never been trolled but he sees how celebrities are trolled by netizens and how that affects their state of mind.
