Commando 3 Actor Gulshan Devaiah On Bollywood NCB Probe; Says ‘Even If Deepika Has Done Any Offence, It Is A Minor Offence’

For the past few months, top Bollywood actresses were under the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) scanner for their apparent involvement in the alleged Bollywood drug case. As the NCB is investigating the alleged drug nexus of Bollywood, following the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, after Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik Chakraborty’s arrest, Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan and Rakul Preet Singh were questioned by the NCB. Now, in an interview, Commando 3 actor Gulshan Devaiah opened up on the alleged drug nexus of Bollywood and spoke about Deepika’s apparent involvement.

In an interview with Times Now Digital, when asked if he feels bad when fingers are pointed at the film industry, Gulshan Devaiah reacted and mentioned he doesn’t feel bad. The actor continued, “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 Banaras and you will see the same thing every day (laughs).” As Devaiah went on to explain his stance, he said it is a bit hypocritical that in the name of religion if some people smoke it, it is legal, while if you are not religious and have some puffs, it becomes illegal.

As the Commando 3 actor went on to share his thoughts on the NCB probe, he said that everyone will eventually forget everything that happened. Talking about Deepika Padukone, he said, “But that's her (Deepika's) fight, which she has to fight. People will forget all of this. If you ask me, from my observation, it comes from an insincere place.” Gulshan then said that it is insincere that people are pointing fingers at Bollywood. Later, when questioned if he feels Bollywood became a soft target to all this, Devaiah disagreed and said, “ No, cinema is soft power.” He then went on to add that cinema has the power to make a difference but it is not that powerful to change everything just like that.

Meanwhile, the NCB continues to probe the drug angle following the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. It was recently that Rhea Chakraborty, who was arrested by the NCB, was granted bail by the Bombay High Court. Apart from that, reportedly, Arjun Rampal’s girlfriend Gabriella Demetriades’ brother was arrested by the NCB recently.
