“I feed the cats first thing in the morning”

The handsome lawyer of the recent film Badhaai Do was once addicted to sugar and would eat eight to nine tablespoons of refined sugar and half a kilo of jalebis in one go, until he practised control and became aware of its illeffects. Today, ‘Eat less, live longer, look younger’ is Gulshan Devaiah’s mantra. As a kid, Gulshan was shy and inhibited. But when he was seven years old, he played a part in a sketch he’d created, discovered that he enjoyed it and was less inhibited. He also fell in love with cinema, so much so that his performance in Shaitan earned him a Filmfare nomination for Best Male

Debut. Gulshan is also quite the fashionista, being a NIFT graduate and designer.
