Farhan Akhtar slams Abhay Deol’s claim of being demoted in ZNMD!

He shared an Instagram post opening up on how Hrithik Roshan & Katrina Kaif were considered to be the leading stars of the movie and he & Farhan were just considered as Hrithik’s supportive friends.

“Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara”, released in 2011. Need to chant this title to myself everyday nowadays! Also a great watch when anxious or stressed. I would like to mention that almost all the award functions demoted me and Farhan from main leads, and nominated us as “supporting actors”. Hrithik and Katrina were nominated as “actors in a leading role”. So by the industry’s own logic, this was a film about a man and a woman falling in love, with the man supported by his friends for whatever decisions he takes. There are many covert and overt ways in which people in the industry lobby against you. In this case it was shamelessly overt. I of course boycotted the awards but Farhan was ok with it. #familyfareawards Very creative artwork @kalakkii

On Abhay’s statement, Farhan Akhtar recently stated,“You are constantly hearing about some rat race and everybody is fighting each other to some kind of spot which does not exist. I mean the fact is you have to believe in yourself, you have to work sincerely, work hard, how many magazine covers you will do, whether you came on the front page of a magazine, or the front page of a newspaper,” he said.

“If that is your larger interest, I really feel that you are in the wrong profession. You’re not here for that. Have you come here to be an actor, director, singer, music composer, or have you come here to be a reality star? Have you come here to be just, I don’t know, a star?” he added.

Farhan said that waiting for validation from others might only lead to temporary satisfaction, eventually it would lead to only disappointment.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara was a 2011 superhit directed by Zoya Akhtar . Starring Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar in lead roles the movie revolved around their friendship & personal experiences at a bachelorette trip in Europe.
