Talking to Hindustan Times, Gulshan Devaiah explained, "I enjoy the appreciation. Jab ho raha hai, main dono haathon se leke gale lagata hoon aur phir chhor deta hoon phir (I embrace the good but then let it go too). You move on to other things. I am sure this kind of attention does make a difference in terms of a career, so it is much more important in terms of what it can tangibly give you, like projects or deals.

I am above Mrunal Thakur and Triptii Dimri. How can that be? I am just making light of this moment. Mrunal is a friend of mine, and Triptii is amazing too. So many people are doing wonderful.
