Emraan Hashmi recently opened up about the negativity within Bollywood, describing it as a “crab mentality.” He highlighted how individuals in the industry often undermine each other’s achievements instead of celebrating them. His candid revelations have sparked discussions about the lack of unity in the film fraternity.
He said, “I can’t say who does it, how they do it, or what their methods of manipulation are. But such things do happen. There is a crab mentality in this industry. You can hear it in their conversations, that no one is truly happy about someone else’s success.”
Emraan Hashmi criticized the tendency of Bollywood actors to downplay others’ success, such as questioning box office numbers or dismissing achievements. He also said that this mindset stops growth and collaboration within the industry. According to him, focusing on one’s own craft rather than others’ failures is key to progress.
