Gulshan Devaiah says ‘Even if Deepika Padukone has done any offence, it is a minor offence’

NCB recently questioned big stars like Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Shraddha Kapoor and Rakul Preet Singh in connection with its investigation on the Bollywood drug nexus. On this, Gulshan Deviah commented that even if stars like Deepika had made any offence, then it is minor.

He said in an interview, “I don’t know what Deepika has done, so I really cannot say. I hope everything is sorted out. I don’t know what she has done. Even if she has done any offence, it is a minor offence. In most of the countries, it would be a minor offence. In our country, it is also a minor offence because if you go to Benaras and you will see the same thing every day (laughs). So, it is a bit hypocritical that in the name of religion some people smoke it is legal and if you are not religious and have some puffs, it becomes illegal. It is a bit hypocritical but what can one do? That’s the world we are living in.”

Gulshan added, “But that’s her (Deepika’s) fight, which she has to fight. People will forget all of this.”

The actor feels that those scrutinizing Bollywood are not doing it with the ‘intention to make it a better place’. “If you ask me, from my observation, it comes from an insincere place. People, who are pointing fingers at Bollywood, it is insincere. It is not done with the intention to make it a better place but it is done with an intention to grab more power and become more powerful. That is my observation.”
