Budding Bollywood actor Avinash Tiwari, who was seen in the Netflix original anthology Ghost Stories earlier this month, feels mainstream media does not give enough coverage to a new actor from a non-film background unless there is a paid arrangement involved.

"When it comes to actors from outside of the film industry unless they go through the paid media, they do not get enough coverage. When I bagged Ghost Stories, I was so happy for obvious reasons. It is the dream of any actor to work with a celebrated filmmaker like Karan Johar. However, from the day the film was screened to the reviews, I did not get enough mentions. My pictures were clicked at the red carpet but not published enough in newspapers," Avinash told IANS.
