Gulshan Grover credits social media for changing his onscreen image of `badman`

Gulshan Grover is a well-known Bollywood actor who plays villains in films. The actor recently stopped by Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi`s house for a casual chat and some lunch for their vlog. During the vlog, Gulshan discussed how ladies were hesitant to approach him because of his villainous image on film.

Gulshan on why girls stayed away from him

While chatting, Parmeet asked Gulshan whether girls would stay away from him due to his image onscreen. Gulshan agreed and shared, "Jab tak social media nahi aaya tha, toh koi ladki pass nahi aati thi because unhe lagta tha jo screen par dekha tha vohi personality has iss aadmi ki (Until social media came around, no girl would come near me because they thought my real personality was exactly like what they saw on screen)."

He further added, "Aur jab social media aaya aur when I entered a party, hugged Archana, another heroine saw it and pehle toh unko a Vishwas hua ki film toh bhaag rahi thi aur yahan gale mil rahi hai, yeh kya nonsense hai. Then slowly slowly people understood that he is just doing a role" (But when social media came and I entered a party and hugged Archana, another heroine saw it and couldn`t believe it — she thought, "The film showed them fighting, and now they`re hugging?" What absurdity is this? Then gradually, people began to comprehend that I was only performing a role.)
