Ashish Vidyarthi talks about Bollywood boycott calls, says 'such hatred is worthless'

Veteran actor Ashish Vidyarthi opened up about the ongoing boycott trend due to which the Hindi film industry has faced a tough time throughout this year.

In an interview with DNA India, he said that 'such hatred is worthless' and ‘we don’t get anything out of it’.

‘Agar aap khud se naraaz hai, toh aapko dusro mein burai dikhegi aur usse naraazgi hogi (If you are angry with yourself, you will see the bad in people and get angry about it). Such hatred is worthless, we don't get anything out of it. I meet few people who are not good at their work, neither do they speak well. But, I don't get influenced by them. I carry on with our work. That's my only advice to everyone. Kisi ki burai mat karo, lekin apna kuch kamaal ka kaam karo (Don't do bad to others but you do some great work),’ he said.

Ashish also talked about Bollywood's 'dull phase' and said that 'creative people don't sit and crib about the losses, hits or flops'. He said people might get moved with the reception, but they learn from it, and start working on the next project. The actor added that no one wants to make a bad or flop film, but, if a movie does fail to deliver, they should learn from it, and move on.

On the work front, Ashish has multiple projects in the pipeline such as ‘Aar Ya Paar’ that will stream on Disney+ Hotstar from December 30, and ‘Trial by Fire’, a limited series based on the 1997 Uphaar Cinema fire, which will start streaming on Netflix on January 13.
