Gulshan Grover recalls his early days
Gulshan told that it was not easy to create the image of a ‘bad man’ and there was a lot of struggle during his era. He revealed that there were no vanity vans. Many times he had to take bath in a studio or under a tree.
During the interview, Gulshan said that he used to reach the set 3 to 4 hours before the shoot time so that he could get ready on time. He stated, ‘There were no make-up rooms at that time. We had to get ready at home or outside. Many times the make-up man used to start my make-up in the car itself. There was no lavish vanity van at that time, so we used to get makeup done sitting under a tree.’
