Someone once mentioned that good people cannot be great actors. Citing the likes of Kamal Haasan, Sridevi, Aamir Khan, Jackie Chan, Tom Cruise, and lots more. It is not really a case of not being a person, it is more of a being self-centred and selfish kind of person. If you notice with Kamal, he is very much self-centred and a narcissistic type of person. Usually, these types are better off by not getting married and having kids because they cannot be into all that and it’s the wife and kids that end up suffering later on. It’s like their attention is only limited to themselves. They are oblivious to other things around them.

The reason we are mentioning this is because the actor in the blind item below is one of the few good ones. He’s just like Emraan Hashmi, another good guy. It’s not really that they are bad actors, it has a lot to do with the niche that they cater to and the films that suit their face and acting skills. The actor in the blind item below has been out of the acting business since his last film flopped badly at the box office. Though he comes from a film family, he has been pretty much left on his own because his uncle is also the self-centred and narcissistic type. But then again, he’s an adult and this is a profession where the audience ultimately decide whether they want you or not. It is not his uncle’s responsibility to make movies for him, since he is not even making movies for his wife.

No one is as big-hearted like the Ultimate Godfather or big-minded like Kebab Jo. It’s been over a year since we have heard that this actor has written a script and has been actively shopping it around. It seems that the script got no takers since now the news is that he wants to be a director and is looking for the right project. He might be looking for the right project, but the blind item reports that no one shown an interest in hiring him yet. Kebab Jo has extended an olive branch by hiring him for an ad film.

From what we have seen with this actor, it seems that there are times he is way over his head. As in, when his films flopped he refused to accept that he lacks something when it comes to his acting skills. Even though, critics have panned his acting, he is oblivious to that. He does not think that his films didn’t work because of him. Maybe so, but at some point he has to step back and take a look at what’s wrong. It is easy to blame others, like he did when he claimed none of the top actresses wanted to work with him because he is a flop actor. Isn’t it the same situation vice-versa? You don’t hear heroines coming out and complaining about their situation, right?

Hopefully, he has realised this and has worked on it. We won’t know since he has ventured into filmmaking now. Check out the blind item below from Mumbai Mirror. By the way, this actor has really been out of people’s and Google’s mind because if you Google him you actually will get the other famous same-name person and his rubbing-lentils-on-his-nekkid-old-self articles. Quite a sight to imagine!

Bollywood Blind Item

THIS one-time leading actor had a sparkling debut not too long ago, and a starting run that could be called enviable. But before one knew it, he just had no work at all. Nope, not even from his famous relatives. In a bid to reinvent himself, he has turned into a director. But he hasn’t found any producers despite looking for one for over a year. Nope, not even from his famous family. We do hope, though, that his film is made. Everyone deserves a second chance, no?
