Bollywood actor Aftab Shivdasani is presently promoting his next film Mastiii 4. During an interview with Zoom, the actor addressed rumours that he used drugs and acted out on set.
Aftab addressed the rumours of taking drugs, he said, “That was the funniest rumour I heard about myself. See, I learned something very early in life. The truth doesn`t make noise. The truth is always silent. And the truth doesn`t need to prove itself. And just keeping that theory in mind, I would not justify anything.”

He also stated that he has never gone on record to say anything about himself because he does not believe in losing sleep over something that is untrue. He emphasised that he knows the truth, and that people would believe anything they choose, whether he does anything or not. According to the Times of India, Aftab was accused of drug use and involvement in a pub brawl in 2005. However, the actor has refuted the charges.
The actor further added that if he had been throwing attitude on set, he would not be a part of the film industry, saying, “Because this industry is very unforgiving. That`s one. Second of all, I had loads of enemies. I would have loads of people talking badly about me. And thankfully, I think I`ve garnered a reputation where people may not like me, but they don`t hate me. Because they don`t know me enough. That`s something that I`ve consciously maintained.”
