'I have no preference for anyone': Rawal on his direct nature

his character, Rawal explained his honest technique for the lifestyle:
"Look, I
have nothing to gain from everything. I don't need to bring everyone down at
all. I'm not pushed through greed. Whatever I really have, I already feel like

something like that to any person? That's why I'm sincere and sorry to
anyone."

that incident where I talked about hitting a character... What happened was
they sent comments. There were comments from other actors. It became a joke,
and then I got lost. It got stupid. I jumped on it. I messed up completely. It
happened, but I didn't want to do it myself. Again." And it certainly made
a difference.”

Remember the 'stupid' incident: hitting a member of the target market
The actor
looked back on an incident where he admitted to hitting a member of the target
market at certain points throughout the performance, calling his actions
"stupid":
"Like when
I talked about hitting a character... What happened was they sent comments.

"I thought
Dhurndhar is a beautifully made film. Some people will love it, others may not,
it's actually the best. But then write about it. Offer an optimistic complaint.
It should be that way. Not the other way around. That's what I thought was wrong."
Rawal explained his choice of phrase:
"Yes, but
the fact is that no one necessarily listens to what you announce." You can
write anything you need, and it rarely changes anything. Instead, it is
becoming a bandwagon. OK, they're doing their job, that's k.
Condemn abusive comments and threats against Chopra
When Chopra was
asked about the abusive response and threats after his tweet went viral, Rawal
strongly condemned such conduct:
"That's
wrong. You can't deal with a person like that. She's a woman, . She's a savvy,
educated woman. She's Vikram Chandra's sister, for God's sake."

after the incident, noting that they called and discussed the work of his son
Aditya Rawal.
