Avtar Gill On His Bond with Ashish Vidyarthi at The Pooja Bhatt Show:
Veteran actor Avtar Gill recently appeared on Pooja Bhatt’s audio podcast The Pooja Bhatt Show, where he shared a heartfelt anecdote about his long-standing bond with fellow actor Ashish Vidyarthi. Reflecting on the early days of their careers, Gill revealed a widespread misconception that he was responsible for casting in Mahesh Bhatt’s films. Due to this perception, many believed he held the power to decide an actor’s fate — a belief he firmly clarified was never true.

Gill recalled a moment when Ashish Vidyarthi, then a newcomer in the industry, approached him seeking work. Vidyarthi later told him how he was once informed by Mahesh Bhatt that if Avtar Gill recommended him, he would immediately be cast. Vidyarthi humorously yet emotionally admitted that it angered him at that time — the idea that his future depended on Gill’s approval. But over the years, that incident became a defining moment in their relationship.
Their bond, Gill said, is far beyond the boundaries of the film world. With deep admiration, Vidyarthi once told him, “If he asks me to jump off a building, I won’t even ask why.” According to Gill, this connection grew from cinema but evolved into a lifelong brotherhood built on respect, trust, and affection.
Gill concluded with a touching thought someone once shared with him: “If you can’t become a great person yourself, at least stay in the shade of great people. You learn so much that way.” Through his warm storytelling, Gill reminded audiences that behind the glamorous world of films lie genuine relationships and priceless bonds.
