In a shocking interview, Golmaal actor who is known for his impeccable comedy timing and character-oriented roles, Shreyas Talpade, revealed that his friends from the Bollywood industry backstabbed him. He also stated that there are no friends in this industry but just acquaintances. The Housefull 2 actor in an interview with Times of India was asked has he been picky when it comes to signing films. The actor said, "I am a little selective, of course. After 'Iqbal', there was a phase when I would compare every film offered to me to 'Iqbal'. In fact, when Subhash Ghai ji offered me 'Apna Sapna Money Money' I was hesitant because it was a commercial film. He was stumped and couldn't believe that I was not considering commercial films."
Shreyas went on to share how he faced a little setback as he started refusing commercial films. His solo films also did not perform as per the expectations. However, the actor has had quite a positive outlook on the same and said that he won't stop just because his film did not work very well. He went on to elaborate that there were a few actors in the industry who were a little insecure about him. He further added that he has been backstabbed by his friends. The Om Shanti Om actor said, "I found out that there are certain actors who are insecure about sharing screen space with me and don't want me in a film. I have done certain films for friends only keeping their interests in mind but then I have been backstabbed by the same friends. Then there are friends who go ahead and make films without including me, which makes one question if they are even friends at all. Actually, in the industry, 90 per cent of the people are just acquaintances, there are only 10 per cent who actually feel happy when you do well. The egos are so fragile here!"
However, Shreyas Talpade says he is sure he is here to stay. He said, "I will persist. If you stay on the pitch and don't lose your wicket, you will eventually get that one ball that you can hit out of the park. Even someone like Mr (Amitabh) Bachchan had to go through a bad patch, so who are we? He was down and out yet bounced back to reach even greater heights. This is happening with me too. Every time I feel depressed, I remind myself I was the guy who did 'Iqbal'. I am happy with where I am today but I am not done; I am still hungry for good roles. It's very important that every actor goes through this patch because it helps you mature over time and value things more. I want to die acting...on sets, or on stage while performing."
