"There're so many things I want to do, like become more media savvy. I am too lazy. But I'm making an effort"
About this Quote
“I am too lazy” is doing double duty. It’s a disarming confession that lowers defenses, but it also quietly critiques the system. Calling it laziness implies the labor is tedious, even a little absurd, like homework assigned by the attention economy. That self-deprecation feels strategic: it preserves his image as a grounded, old-school actor while acknowledging that the industry has moved. The line “But I’m making an effort” is the negotiated settlement between authenticity and necessity - a promise to adapt without sounding eager.
The subtext is generational and industrial. Devgan came up in a star system where mystique and distance were assets; today, accessibility sells. “Media savvy” isn’t just skill, it’s power: controlling narrative, deflecting controversy, staying visible between releases. By admitting reluctance, he positions himself as reluctant participant rather than calculating operator, which paradoxically makes him more likable - and, yes, more media savvy.
