Bollywood actor Aftab Shivdasani recently broke his silence regarding longstanding rumors that have followed his career specifically, allegations of drug use and claims of him having an attitude problem on film sets. The actor, currently busy promoting his upcoming movie, candidly addressed these sensitive topics, choosing to finally speak about his core philosophy and professional reputation in the unforgiving Hindi film industry.
When asked about the rumors regarding drug or substance abuse, Aftab Shivdasani was surprisingly dismissive, labeling the claims as “the funniest rumour I heard about myself.” He explained that he chose a path of silence early on in his career, based on a personal belief that shapes his reaction to unverified gossip.
Aftab stated a foundational theory that has guided his conduct: “The truth doesn’t make noise. The truth is always silent. And the truth doesn’t need to prove itself.” Following this principle, he chose not to issue public clarifications or justifications for accusations he knew to be false.
For him, losing sleep over something that is not true is simply unnecessary. He emphasized that he knows his own truth, and the people who matter know it too. He believes that even if he were to shout from the rooftops to deny a falsehood, those who wish to believe the rumor will believe it anyway. This stoic approach suggests a detachment from the rumor mill, focusing instead on his work and his personal integrity.
The actor also directly addressed the rumors suggesting he exhibited an attitude problem or threw tantrums on the sets of his films. Aftab Shivdasani firmly refuted this, using his continued presence in Bollywood as proof against the accusations.
He pointed out the harsh reality of the film industry, calling it “very unforgiving.” His logic is straightforward if he had genuinely been difficult to work with, his career would not have survived this long. He believes that had he been unprofessional, he would have garnered a large number of enemies who would constantly speak badly about him, making his tenure in the competitive industry impossible.
Instead, he suggests that he has successfully “garnered a reputation” that, while it might not mean everyone in the industry is his friend, ensures they don’t actively hate him. He consciously maintained a respectable distance from industry camps and unnecessary drama, attributing his survival to this consistent, professional demeanor. His decades-long journey, which began as a child artist, serves as his testimony that professionalism and respect are prerequisites for longevity in the high-stakes world of Bollywood.
