Prince Narula has stirred debate along with his strong tackle influencers impacting the acting industry. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble, he called out figures like Rajat Dalal while defending content creators who deal with meaningful and galvanizing work. Scroll all the way down to read more.
When asked about his remarks on influencers impacting the acting industry, especially in reference to Rajat Dalal, Prince Narula said, “See aaj essential phir bol raha hoon — aap agar aaj ke time pe poochoge na, 99% log bolte hain ‘I’m an influencer.’ Unko matlab hi nahi pata influencer ka kya hota hai. Mere ko lagta hai influencer woh hota hai joh logon ko achhi cheezon ke liye motivate kar paaye, joh logon ke liye kuch kar paaye, joh samaj seva kare.“
He continued, “Ab Fukra Insaan (Abhishek Malhan) achha influencer hai, Trigger Insaan (Nishchay Malhan) achha influencer hai, Harsh Beniwal achha influencer hai. Bahut saare log hain joh achha influence kar rahe hain, joh apni script pe time lagate hain, camera setup lete hain, poora paisa lagate hain, poori mehnat lagate hain. Paise se bhi zyada mehnat lagate hain, aur uske baad public ko kuch dete hain jisse woh dekh ke encourage hoti hai.”
The actor continued, “Aur ek aise influencers hain joh dancers bhi nahi hain, unka occupation dance nahi hai. Most important dancers ko bhi hats off karta hoon ki woh reels banate hain dance pe — woh unka occupation hai. Singers gaana gaate hain — woh unka occupation hai. Par ek influencers aise hain joh ladke hain, ladki ki saree daal ke saree utaarte hue dance kar dete hain, thumke maar dete hain. Aur unke tens of millions pe likes aate hain. Most important aise influencers ki baat kar raha hoon. Most important Rajat jaise influencers ki baat kar raha hoon joh bachchon ko maar ke, unki stories bana ke, unko abu*e karke, unko depression mein daal ke influencer bane hain.
Prince Narula Says Rajat Dalal Ke Andar Koi Talent Nahi Hai
Adding to his remark, Prince said, “Ab Rajat jaise influencer se kya ho raha hai ki jinmein talent hai woh aage nahi aa pa rahe. Kyunki unhone controversy nahi kari. Unke paas likes nahi hai, unka social media strong nahi hai — ye sab karke inke paas likes aa gaye hain. Inke paas kya talent hai? Aap Rajat ki baat bata do. Logon ko darr lagta hai usse. Kya talent hai uske andar? Koi talent hai? Nahi hai na? Toh phir uska yahan pe aana kya hai? Sirf controversy. Yeh influencer kaise hua? Tum aise youth ko influence kar rahe ho joh kal bolegi ki hum Bigg Boss mein ja sakte hain kya karke? Bachchon ko maar ke, yeh karke. Most important aise influencers ki baat kar raha hoon.”
The Roadies 12 Winner continued, “Joh reel banata hai, saari utaarte hue dance karta hai, thumke lagata hai, million likes aa jaate hain. Par jo yahan audition dene aaya hai, jisne 10 saal theatre kiya hai, joh ek bahut achha actor hai — woh har jagah select ho jata hai, par end mein poochte hain ‘followers kitne hain?’ Uske 400 followers hain — reject ho gaya. Kyun? Kyunki million followers us ‘chapri’ ke hain jo dance kar raha hai. Most important us influencer ki baat kar raha hoon. Most important sab influencers ki baat nahi kar raha hoon — sabne mehnat kari hai. Faizu ne bhi mehnat kari hai. Usko log kisi aur naam se bulate the jab usne TikTok start kiya tha. Usne apne aap ko change kiya, improve kiya — aaj log uski izzat karte hain. Woh bhi influencer hai.”
Prince On How Actors Suffer Due To Influencers
Prince concluded, “Toh ye cut karke joh dikhaya gaya tha, hamari poori baat rakhi nahi gayi thi. Isliye maine kaha tha ki kuch influencers ki wajah se hamari industry suffer kar rahi hai. Ab humne apna naam bana liya hai, hume audition nahi dene padte, hume log bula lete hain. Par jinhe audition dena padta hai, jinke paas followers nahi hain kyunki unhone reels nahi banayi. Unke liye toh yeh nuksaan wali baat hai na.”
