Parvin Dabas Talks the Ups and Downs of Acting: “Everyone Goes Through This”

When asked about the recent buzz surrounding Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar’s much‑talked‑about Don 3, veteran actor Parvin Dabas smiled, shrugged, and said, “You know, every actor has been through this situation at some point.” The comment, delivered in a casual interview, seemed to cut through the melodrama that often clouds Bollywood headlines.

Dabas, who first won hearts as the lovable ‘Kriti’ in Khosla Ka Ghosla, has watched the industry evolve for more than two decades. “Back in the day we didn’t have Twitter, but the whispers were just as loud,” he recalled, chuckling. “You’d hear the same stories over dinner, over coffee, even on set. It’s almost a rite of passage.”

He went on to explain that the current “Ranveer‑Farhan row” – a phrase the media loves to spin – is, in his view, simply another chapter in the long‑standing saga of creative differences. “Sometimes it’s about ego, sometimes about schedules, sometimes it’s just miscommunication,” Dabas said. “What matters is that you keep moving forward and let the work speak for itself.”

While many fans dissect every tweet and interview, Dabas believes the focus should stay on the craft. “If you’re an actor, you learn to tune out the noise. You train your ears for direction, not for gossip,” he added, his tone warm yet matter‑of‑fact.

He also offered a gentle reminder to newcomers: “Don’t let the hype drown your passion. The industry can be a roller‑coaster, but it’s also incredibly rewarding if you stay grounded.” In a world where a single Instagram story can spark a firestorm, Dabas’s seasoned perspective feels like a breath of fresh air.

So, whether it’s a feud over a script or a misunderstanding on set, the message is clear: these bumps are part of the journey. As Dabas puts it, “If you’re not feeling the pressure, you probably aren’t in the game at all.”
