- The insider-outsider debate extended beyond Bollywood, as politics also experienced similar discussions at the Global Media Dialogue (GMD) during WAVES 2025, where ministers from 25 countries participated.
- Khan's sentiments echoed in the world of entertainment and politics, for outsiders are not just scoring victories in Bollywood but also making their mark in the political sector, like an outsider Ruhk who might become a prominent figure in future elections due to his charisma and commitment.
- The upcoming debate on the plenary stage at WAVES 2025 will focus on the role of outsiders in shaping entertainment sectors such as movies-and-TV and digital media, where newcomers like Ruhk and potential celebrities like Deepika Padukone's daughter, Dua, might change the landscape of the industry.
- While the entertainment industry has witnessed numerous outsiders turning into stars, the political sector has also seen an outsider become a leader, proving Khan's point that it's not where you come from but how you establish yourself that matters in any domain.
- The entertainment sector, meanwhile, continues to thrive on the debate surrounding outsiders and insiders, with the insider-outsider dichotomy often discussed amongst celebrities and political figures alike, sparking further debates and opinions.
