Divyenndu says award shows have become a 'joke', have no relation to film industry: 'It's a money-making asset'
BOllywood worker Divyenndu lately criticised Bollywood grant shows, calling them “ postiche” and accusing organisers of prioritising business concern over genuine recognition. Reflecting on his experience in the industry, the actor revealed that he had allegedly lost out on awards simply because he could not attend the ceremonies.Divyenndu says award shows have become a jokeIn a conversation with Faridoon Shahryar, Divyenndu slammed the system of award shows and revealed that not getting an award doesn't bother him much. He said, "For Pyaar Ka Punchnama, I got best debut at Screen Awards and even at IIFA. Ab kaafi mazak ban chuka hai award shows ka. Mere saath kayi baar aisa hua hai ki voh bolte hain hum aapko yeh award dena chahte hain aur main shoot kar raha tha aur maine bola main aa nahi paaunga sorry, toh unhone happily bola okay and they gave the award to someone else (For Pyaar Ka Punchnama, I received the Best Debut award at the Screen Awards and even at the International Indian Film Academy Awards. But now, award shows have become quite a joke. This has happened to me many times; they tell me they want to give me an award, but when I say I’m shooting and won’t be able to attend, they happily say okay and simply give the award to someone else)."He added, "The whole problem is people don't see it as an award show, it's a money-making asset. Uspe aap has hi sakte hai bethke, usko aap dil pe bhi nahi laga sakte. Iska film industry se kuch lena dena nahi hai (The whole problem is that people no longer see these as award shows; they see them as money-making assets. You can only laugh at them now; you can’t take them to heart. These shows have nothing to do with the film industry anymore)."About Divyenndu's recent and upcoming workDivyenndu was last seen in the Netflix show Glory.
