Inside Edge Actor Tanuj Virwani On Favouritism in Bollywood: It Is the Nature Of Business

Tanuj Virwani, who is best known for playing Vayu Raghawan in Amazon Prime web-show Inside Edge, said that when his first three films Luv U Soniyo, Purani Jeans and One Night Stand didn’t work, people called him “box-office” poison. However, the same people called him amazing after watching him in Inside Edge.

Tanuj, who is veteran actor Rati Agnihotri’s son, said that things were not handed him on a platter. “My mother goes by her maiden surname (Agnihotri) and I go by Virwani, which is my father’s surname. A lot of the time, people take a while to even make the connection. Many don’t even know I am her son. I have had my fair share of struggles also. I didn’t have the best of starts in the business. I did three films, none of them worked. My mother had absolutely nothing to do with them. They were relatively small films and I got them on my own,” he told Hindustan Times.
