Actor
Rahul
Dev
opened
up
on
Kangana
Ranaut's
allegations
that
99
percent
of
the
Hindi
film
industry
is
involved
in
substance
abuse.
Dev
challenged
this
overly
generalizing
and
exaggerated
statement
and
expressed
his
disappointment
that
people
are
dismissing
the
industry
by
saying
that
everyone
is
a
drug
addict.
"I
am
a
complete
outsider.
I
am
50
and,
I
have
never
done
drugs
in
my
life.I
have
been
a
part
of
showbiz
for
30
years
if
you
count
modelling,
and
what
I
am
finding
disappointing
is
that
people
are
saying
sab
drug
addict
hain,"
said
Dev,
in
an
interview
with
Hindustan
Times.
"When
I
have
to
do
a
stunt,
I
have
to
jump
from
16th
floor
or
the
11th
floor,
would
I
be
able
to
do
it
if
I
was
on
drugs
,
you
need
your
mind
to
be
so
attentive
of
you
miss
the
centre,
you
will
lose
your
life.
All
actors
do
stunts,
so
how
can
somebody
do
that
while
they
are
on
drugs?" he
asked.
Many
celebrities
have
also
pointed
out
that
the
industry
is
not
just
made
up
of
actors
and
stars
but
also
numerous
directors,
producers,
designers,
writers,
musicians,
editors,
technicians
and
other
professionals,
and
that
declaring
that
99
percent
of
the
industry
is
on
drugs
is
just
dragging
it
too
far.
Talking
about
Vicky
Kaushal,
who,
among
others,
had
been
asked
by
Kangana
to
give
a
drug
test,
Dev
said,
"He
is
a
very
hard
working
actor.
I
have
done
5
or
6
films
with
his
father,
Shyam
Kaushal
and
they
are
very
nice
people.
Vicky
is
such
a
fabulous
actor
and
he
gets
into
the
character
in
all
his
films
so
well.
If
he
works
so
hard,
do
you
think
he
could
do
it
because
he
took
drugs?
Think
about
it.
It
is
such
an
irresponsible
statement
about
industry
that
poori
industry
bakwas
hai."
