'Art is not about power but exhibiting talent', says Amit Sadh

The Kai Po Che! fame actor Amit Sadh believes that art has nothing to do with power. It is all about exhibiting creativity that one possesses. Sadh feels that the only sustainable way forward is to build an environment that is safe and equal for men and women.

Mumbai:Actor Amit Sadh feels all the powerful people of Bollywood should understand that real power lies in helping others build a collaborative environment.

Asked about the debate around the imbalance of power in Bollywood, Sadh told IANS: "When you spoke about power, you said there is imbalance."

"I think power should end. Because art is not about power. Art is about exhibiting talent. So, I hope that all these people who think they are powerful, understand that real power is in helping build a system, helping build an environment that is safe and equal for men and women. That is the only way forward according to me," he further added.

When asked about the insider vs outsider debate, the Kai Po Che! actor had earlier said: "I don't consider myself as an outsider. I am an insider and I stay inside the secure borders of India. Every person is an insider. Don't give any person the strength or courage to make you feel like an outsider or call you an outsider."

The actor also mentioned that people in power need to ensure no one is treated like an "outsider."

"I want to mention one more thing. People who are elder in age or in position, and understands more, it is their responsibility to never make those people who are in a lower position and not powerful enough to feel like outsiders. I just hope as long as I am in this industry, I can stop this outsider-insider debate. Instead, we should devote more time for debating on topics that are important and necessary," Sadh concluded.

The actor was last seen in the web show Avrodh: The Siege Within. He has started shooting for his upcoming digital project Zidd.
