Gulshan Grover recalls bathing under a tree during his early days in movies: ‘There were no make-up rooms…’

Gulshan explained how producers and directors would get irritated if a villain took too much time to get ready. The actor laughingly recalled that when he was cast with Mithun Chakraborty, he would tell the makers, “Don’t give him any looks, he will take two hours.” Gulshan said, “It was very difficult.” However, he added, “They were very supportive once they saw it (his work).”

Further, he spoke about how he would get ready for any event or function after a full day’s work. Since there were no vanity vans or make-up rooms, he would sometimes take a bath under a tree and get ready there. “For that, you have to take a bath in the studio or under a tree and then you have to wear a coat and head to the function,” he said.
