Gulshan Devaiah isn’t out here chasing noise. He never has. He’s the guy who slips into a role, does his job, cracks a quiet joke, and somehow leaves everyone talking anyway. Lately, that talk isn’t even about his acting it’s about how he carries himself when the camera’s off.
Girija Oak Godbole, who stars with him in Therapy Sherapy, told a story that got people’s attention. They had to shoot an intimate scene, something that can go awkward real quick. Gulshan showed up with pillows from his vanity van not just one or two, a whole bunch and asked her to pick what felt right. Then he checked in again and again. “You okay?” Seventeen times, maybe more. She said it made all the difference.
Anyone who’s ever been on a set knows how rare that is. People rush through those scenes, call it “part of the job,” and move on. But he slowed down. Treated it like choreography, not a performance to endure. That’s what separates a decent actor from a decent human.
The same quiet empathy showed up elsewhere. Vijay Varma recently talked about going through depression and mentioned how Gulshan, along with Ira Khan, helped him face it. No big quotes or speeches, just friends showing up when it counted. It says a lot about who he is when there’s nothing to promote.
What makes Gulshan stand out is his mix of sharp humor and realness. He jokes about Bollywood’s staged pap moments, the pretend chaos outside restaurants, but never from a bitter place. He’s in on the joke because he sees it clearly.
Right now, there’s no fresh project drop, no major announcement. But somehow, he’s trending anyway just for being kind, which feels like a plot twist in itself.
In a business that rewards volume, Gulshan moves differently. No pretense, no branding exercise, just the steady confidence of someone who knows decency can be cool too.
