Behind the Glitter: Rajendra Gupta's Candid Take on Bollywood's Dark Side
Ever wondered what it truly takes to survive in Bollywood? The glitz, the glamour, and the fame might seem like a dream, but behind the scenes, the reality is far from rosy. Veteran actor Rajendra Gupta recently pulled back the curtain on the industry's hidden truths, and his revelations are both shocking and eye-opening.
In a candid interview, Gupta shared that actors are often expected to be "darbaari" (courtiers) to filmmakers, bending to their whims and fancies. "Lies are sold, and work has no value," he said, reflecting on his own journey. Despite his talent and dedication, Gupta admits that he never became a star, and he believes the industry's politics played a significant role in that.
Gupta's story is a testament to the struggles faced by many actors who refuse to compromise their principles. He recalls how producers and makers were not interested in senior actors like him, preferring fresh faces and those willing to compromise for the sake of work. "I used to feel bad but kisse shikayat karu?" (Who do I complain to?), he lamented.
Despite the challenges, Gupta's passion for acting never waned. He continued to work in television, theatre, and films, earning respect for his professionalism and integrity. His journey is a reminder that success in Bollywood isn't just about talent; it's also about navigating a complex web of relationships and expectations.
