'Don't vibe at all': Gulshan Devaiah's confession about co-star Janhvi
What's the story
In an interview with Film Companion, actor Gulshan Devaiah admitted that he doesn't exactly share a friendly rapport with Janhvi Kapoor.
Set to appear together in the upcoming film Ulajh, Devaiah revealed that while their professional relationship is intact, they do not "vibe" otherwise.
"We don't really vibe that way; like you know, it's not like we're sitting and chatting. We don't vibe at all, actually. I don't think she finds me funny, interesting, or anything like that," said Devaiah.
On-Set experience
Devaiah clarifies professional performance unaffected by personal dynamics
Despite the lack of personal connection, Devaiah clarified that their professional performance was not compromised.
"I never felt that that was getting in the way of us doing the scenes. It didn't feel like, Oh, I'm not getting enough or something is lacking," he stated.
He emphasized that actors can 'vibe' on set without necessarily becoming friends, underscoring the distinction between personal and professional relationships in the film industry.
Co-Star interaction
Kapoor's efforts to improve on-set relationship
Kapoor also shared her experience, revealing that she was once advised to laugh at Devaiah's jokes to prevent him from feeling 'intimidated.'
She recalled receiving a call on set suggesting she and Devaiah should go for coffee together because they weren't interacting much between takes.
This insight provides a glimpse into the efforts made behind the scenes to foster better interpersonal dynamics among co-stars.
Public reaction
Vijay Varma, netizens lauded Devaiah's honesty

"They need the training and not [Devaiah]. With the talent and personality, you have.. I know you don't get intimidated easily."
