MUMBAI: The rapper Naezy shocked ‘Bigg Boss OTT 3’ fans by discussing how Gully Boy harmed his career. Ranveer Singh starred in the Zoya Akhtar-directed movie, which was partially inspired by Naezy, whose real name is Naved Shaikh. Many people from all across the world expressed their love for the 2019 movie.
The rapper admitted that it had an impact on his mental health, though. In an interview, he discussed how the film's fictional portion led to audience confusion and subsequent judgment of him.

“After the film was released, I really felt wronged and went through a very difficult time psychologically. The film showed how the protagonist cheated on his girlfriend, his father had two wives; that's not how it was. I come from a very poor family and lived in a small house but this was not my reality. The Indian audience did not realise that those were fictionalised. I was judged for a life that isn't even mine. All of that took a toll on me, and I suffered a lot. It was only when I opened up and vented out my emotions that I now feel positive about my life," Naezy told the popular news portal.
The rapper added that ‘Bigg Boss OTT’ came as an opportunity for him to break out of the image that was created. He said that he not only managed to come clean of all the allegations, but also changed people's perception of him.
Even though he finished in second place, he frequently faced accusations for safe game and slow-moving during the Anil Kapoor-hosted reality show. In response, he smiled and said, “I think I became a little lazy because of my medication. But, I must also add that it was my game to keep a laid-back attitude in the initial days and then strike back. However, I did not get enough time for that. It was my strategy to stay calm and keep it cool. It's learning though and I would now be active in my life.”
Naezy also shared how his participation in ‘Bigg Boss OTT 3’ was an achievement for the rapper community. “It was an important moment for not just me and my community but also for every rapper. Through the show, I managed to give a true picture of our culture and personality, and I am glad people accepted me. I now plan to capitalise this opportunity and continue the momentum. I am so happy that people from my hood even attended the finale and they were so happy,” he added.
Finally, the young rapper mentioned how his father had quoted the well-known 'Baazigar' dialogue, which talks about a person winning big even after losing. Naezy continued, "Honestly, I only have gratitude for the love I have been receiving. I did hope to win but I was also prepared for the defeat. I think this is why I did not feel sad even for a moment. I took the result positively and I am so happy that my friend Sana Makbul managed to win.”
Naezy finished as the first runner-up in 'Bigg Boss OTT 3,' losing to Sana Makbul. The second runner-up was none other than Ranvir Shorey.
