“Stop fearing failure”: Rohit Shetty slams “insecure” younger Bollywood stars, urges them to learn resilience from Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan

Filmmaker Rohit Shetty recently expressed his concerns about the insecurity prevalent among the younger generation of Bollywood actors. Speaking in an interview with Mukesh Chhabra for Mashable India, Shetty criticised the actors’ over-reliance on social media and their obsession with paid followers and articles.“The new stars are insecure people. They are too much into social media, which is not the real world. Buying followers or having paid articles won’t help after two years. Ultimately, you will have to prove yourself on the big screen and not the mobile screen,” Shetty remarked as he spoke about the importance of real-world experience over virtual validation.Learning from Salman Khan’s Career ResilienceShetty highlighted Salman Khan’s career as an example of resilience and adaptability. Reflecting on a challenging phase in Khan’s career, Shetty shared, “When Salman Khan’s movies were not working, he did Jeet with Sunny Deol. He just did it as an anchor and saw it as an opportunity to move forward in his career. This quality in stars is now fading.”Following Jeet's success, Salman Khan bounced back with hits like Judwaa and Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya, cementing his position as one of Bollywood’s biggest stars.Amitabh Bachchan’s Enduring LegacyThe filmmaker also praised Amitabh Bachchan’s illustrious career spanning over five decades. “Do you remember how many flops Amitabh Bachchan has given in his career? We just remember him as the brand Amitabh Bachchan because he did all kinds of roles for 50 years,” Shetty said, underscoring the importance of building a lasting legacy through cumulative work rather than focusing solely on immediate successes or failures.The Pitfalls of EntouragesRohit Shetty didn’t hold back while criticising the "teams" surrounding younger actors. He called these entourages "dangerous," adding, “Their opinions like, ‘I don’t think you should do this’ or ‘I don’t think you should go there,’ harm actors in the long run. People will judge you on your body of work, not on your entourage’s advice.”Rohit Shetty’s Personal JourneyShetty also shared his own experiences, including his decision to host Comedy Circus after directing All The Best. “I grabbed the opportunity without hesitation. It ran for five years and paved the way for Khatron Ke Khiladi. We need to take risks—it’s okay if it goes wrong, but what if it goes right?” he explained.Final Thoughts on Risk and ValidationShetty encouraged actors to embrace failure and focus on their craft rather than seeking validation. “My films Cirkus and Dilwale didn’t work, but people still remember me for Golmaal and All The Best. That’s all that matters.”Speaking of the professional front, Rohit is currently enjoying the success of his latest directorial venture, Singham Again.
