Kabir Bedi has become the latest celebrity from Bollywood to talk about the 'entourage culture' in the industry and has criticised stars for the rising costs of actors' entourages. Over the last few months, several filmmakers and celebs have spoken up about this issue.

Kabir Bedi on entourage

In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, the veteran actor gave his own example regarding entourages and said, “See I have an attendant and a makeup man, and my charges are very much reasonable. I don’t demand anything more. I believe that the demands of actors on producers are very wrong.”

Kabir Bedi, who has been acting in India and Europe for five decades now, criticised actors for making 'baseless demands'. He said, “I feel these are baseless demands. Fine, the producer needs to pay for your makeup, hair, and an attendant maybe too. But any demand apart from this doesn’t make sense. This is an actor’s responsibility if they want publicity, cameras, and social media specialists. It’s not the producers’ job to do so.”

The actor touched upon how this is a problem unique to India as his experience in the West has taught him otherwise. “Internationally, you need to use the producer’s given makeup people only unless you are an A-lister. Most producers pay for your makeup, hair and attendance only if you happen to be a big personality. I feel it should come to India as well,” he added.
