Bigg Boss OTT 3: Naezy reveals Gully Boy is based on him; confesses, “Uss film se mera bohot nuksaan bhi hua”

Gully Boy starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt was a hit movie in 2019. From its song to the leads’ terrific performance, fans just couldn’t stop praising this movie. While many thought it was based on rapper Divine’s life, some thought it was just an attempt to highlight the rap songs in India. However, in the latest episode of Bigg Boss OTT 3, it was revealed that Gully Boy is based on rapper Naezy and he confirmed it himself. When Paulomi Das asked him if Zoya Akhtar’s directorial film was on him, Naezy confirmed it.

Naezy replied, “Haan. Asal mein vo film se bahut saare log jude huye hai. Vo pure hip-hop culture ko represent kiya hai humne. Lekin main character (Murad Ahmed) jo tha vo mere se inspire hua tha. Aafat gaana, mera jo pehla song tha, jo viral hua tha, yeh gaane ke through unhone mujhe dhunda tha.” (Yes. Actually, many people were associated with that film. It represented the entire hip-hop culture. But the main character was inspired by me. Aafat song, my first song that went viral, they found me through that song).”

He further said, “To usse mere ko ekdum subtle way mein fayda hua aur bahut nuksaan bhi hua. Mere personal life pe ki mere do-do girlfriends dikha di gayi hai. Mujhe gareeb bataya gaya hai, jitna gareeb main tha nahi. Mujhe driver bataya gaya hai kyunki main vo hu nahi. Lekin jo Indian audience ka dimag hai na, sabko aisa lagra ki yahi Naezy bhai hai. To ussey meri personal life pe thoda farak pada. (So, it benefitted me subtly but also caused a lot of harm. In my personal life, they showed I had two girlfriends. They portrayed me as poor, which I wasn’t to that extent. They showed me as a driver, which I am not. But in the Indian audience’s mind, everyone thinks this is who Naezy is. So, it affected my personal life a bit).”

Meanwhile, Neeraj Goyat is the first contestant to get eliminated from Bigg Boss OTT 3 house.
