Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt-starrer Gully Boy was based on the lives of Indian rappers Naezy and Divine.
Famous rapper Naezy, whose life inspired Ranveer Singh-starrer Gully Boy, is presently locked inside Bigg Boss OTT 3 house. In a candid conversation with other contestants, Naezy shared how the 2019 Hindi film, which also starred Alia Bhatt, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Vijay Raaz, and Vijay Varma, negatively impacted his personal life.
In a video shared by JioCinema, actress Poulomi Polo Das is seen asking Naezy, "Woh film (Gully Boy) aap hi pe bani thi kya? Mujhe baad me kisi ne bataya (Was that film made on you? Someone told me later)". The rapper answers her, "Haan. Asal mein us film se bahut saare log jude hue hain. Woh pure hip-hop culture ko represent kiya hai humne. Lekin main character (Murad Ahmed played by Ranveer Singh) 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 dhoonda 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.)"
Sharing how the film affected his personal life, Naezy continued, "Toh usse mujhe 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 woh hun nahi. Lekin jo Indian audience ka dimag hai na, sabko aisa laga ki yahi Naezy bhai hai. To usse 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)."
Bigg Boss OTT 3 is being hosted by Anil Kapoor and is streaming on JioCinema. Ranvir Shorey, Sana Makbul, Deepak Chaurasia, Sai Ketan Rao, Neeraj Goyat, Shivani Kumari, and Lovekesh Kataria are some of the other contestants locked inside the house.
