Tanna mentioned that she did Rajkumar Hirani's Sanju and her character stood out but things didn't go in her favour after that.

Karishma Tanna said that she keeps challenging herself and will keep trying her best. She also added that things would have been different if she weren't an outsider but a star kid. 

Karishma Tanna further mentioned she isn't sure why this happened and wondered whether is it because of her luck or about 'being there at the right time at the right place' or Bollywood just wants to take star kids. She said she considers herself as an actor and does not care about being an insider or an outsider.

She wants to concentrate on her journey and waiting for some good work to be offered to her. She also mentioned that things would have been easier if she were a star kid but said even they have their own struggles.
