Miles to go before I arrive: Gulshan Devaiah on enjoying 'underrated' tag

It is nice to be recognised by the audiences as an "underrated" actor, says Gulshan Devaiah, who credits his hard work of a decade for finally getting the roles of his choice.

In the follow up to his critically-lauded dual role in "Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota" and "Ghost Stories", the actor plays a suicidal loser in Amazon Prime Video's dark comedy "Afsos".

"There is a range that I'm trying to explore. It took time but finally it's happening. A lot of my work in 2019 and now has helped me do that. I'm trying to maintain a variety and people have started recognising that," Devaiah told PTI in an interview.

The actor hopes that his hard work will help him move in the forward direction.

"I am in no hurry. But it is nice to hear people calling me 'underrated' or 'you deserve better'... I just want this to be in a forward direction. I don't want to sit in a corner and say 'I have arrived now'. There are many miles to go before I arrive. Let's see how far I travel."
"They told me the concept, I liked it and found it bizarre. I did not know how they are going to make it but then we kept meeting for a few days every month. They would keep adding details to my character."
