Gulshan Devaiah also called nepotism a ‘stupid argument’.
Gulshan Devaiah also revealed that there have been instances when he didn’t get a role because of someone else.
Gulshan Devaiah has said Bollywood Far more democratic that the South industry. In a recent interview, the Badhaai Do actor talked about nepotism when he mentioned that it is more prevalent in the South industry than in Bollywood. He argued that most of the popular actors in South cinema are from film family background while in Bollywood people like him and Vijay Varma are also getting opportunities to work.
“If you look at the industry in the South, it is making a lot of waves. You can name all the actors who are really popular and they all come from families. Everyone’s third and fourth generation is working. But the Hindi film industry is far more democratic people like me, Vijay Varma, Sohum (Shah), Mrunal Thakur, we are all working and doing well and making a living from it,” Gulshan told Hindustan Times.
Further talking about nepotism, Gulshan called it ‘silly logic’ and shared that even though it is not the right way, it is their way. “It is not a government job, it is a private enterprise. Everyone will have their own subjective opinion about who is best suited for a particular role and they are going to choose either of the two. It is really stupid There is a lot of logic that talented people should get work. It may not be the right way to do it, but it is their way.
The Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota actor also argued that acting is ‘not a selection for IAS or IPS you matter’ and hence one should not ‘whine or cry’ about it.
During the interview, Gulshan also revealed that there have been instances when he didn’t get roles because of someone else. He admitted that it was ‘disturbing’ for him and said, “I was close to getting some roles but people have veto power and I have no bitterness in my heart. This culture of boycott is also a result of that. “
