Rohit Shetty believes actors’ lack of unity and insecurities worst aspects of Bollywood: ‘We are a strong clan but we don’t understand our power’ | EasternEye
Hit filmmaker Rohit Shetty, whose next directorial venture Cirkus opens in theatres this Friday, has reflected on what is ailing Bollywood. He spoke about how actors are insecure about coming together for multi-hero films.
He said in an interview on the YouTube channel Beer Biceps, “There used to be so many films with two and three heroes. Even the managers don’t understand this now and keep these actors insecure. If you see seniors – whether it is SRK, Salman Khan, and Ajay Devgn – and the biggest example is Drishyam, and you will never see Ajay Devgn saying this or that or etc.”
He added that the film fraternity can bring change in so many things, but there is no unity among people in the industry. “We are a strong clan, but we don’t understand our power. We can do a lot, but we never unite. People love us and we can bring change in so many things. If we worked like a syndicate, we can do a lot. We aren’t thinking of how to expand the theatre business and working with the government, and where to go— we’re not able to reach 10 crore people in 1500 crore people?” he added.
When asked how he treats flatterers, he said, “When people say you’ve done brilliantly, I keep them away. When someone praises the film, I keep them close.”
He added that he always notices how to improve his films and be wary of people praising him excessively. “When someone says bad things about you, don’t take them seriously. When someone gives valid criticism, I will listen. A filmmaker won’t be able to give me advice because they will have their own cultural views and mindset, but with the audience, they’re honest. They’ll like a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film, Rohit Shetty film, and an Anurag Kashyap film.”
Starring Ranveer Singh, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Pooja Hedge among others, Cirkus releases on December 23, 2022.
He gave away all their Lamborghinis once, which kind of sums up the financial whiplash.
His public digs at her family, like Kris Jenner, became impossible to ignore.
On North's style hate, Kim says her daughter genuinely does not care what trolls think.
Kim Kardashian has finally spoken up about why she left Kanye West, admitting that it was not a single event, but rather several weeks during which things slowly fell apart. The constant instability left her feeling on edge, unsafe even. Then there is North and people picking apart her clothes as if it is some battle. Kim has had to fight that battle, too, every single day.

That "unsafe" feeling wasn't what you think
She kept using that word, "unsafe." But it is not what the tabloids want you to imagine. It was this constant low-grade dread, wondering which Kanye you would get that day. And the financial stuff was wild. Remember that time she came home and every single one of their five Lamborghinis was just gone? He had given them away to friends. Just like that.
How does anyone build a future when the next hour feels uncertain? Try mapping out your life when you cannot predict the next mood. And then the family thing started. He would go on these public rants, targeting Kris, going after her sisters. How do you even move forward after that? Arguments are normal, but hearing someone insult your family crosses a line that changes everything.

So, how is North handling all the online hate?
Turns out, better than her mum. People lost it over that dermal piercing in Rome. But Kim says North saw the comments, and her reaction was basically a shrug. The kid said she probably would not be friends with people who hate on her blue hair anyway.
Kim is just trying to keep up. Her house is like a make-up lab on weekends, with North and her friends mastering special effects looks. But Kim admits she does not always get it right. "We made that mistake in front of the whole world," she said about one outfit choice. She is literally learning how to parent a teen while we all watch.
It all came down to a brutal choice: stick with the chaos for the sake of the four kids or save herself. She chose herself. The relationship got, as she put it, "toxic," especially when he was not willing to make changes that might have helped. It is the same gut instinct that now has her defending North, creating a stable home after all that instability, a place where her kids feel confident even if the internet does not like their lip liner.
