After toying with fashion, Gulshan Devaiah quit the field to experiment with acting. It has been a thrilling ride since then. He doesn’t know what the future holds, but he is enjoying the present, relishing the diverse roles. If ZEE5’s 'Duranga' sees him essay the role of a serial killer, he plays a strait-laced teacher in MXPlayer’s Shiksha Mandal. In a conversation with mid-day, Devaiah talks about his eccentric tag, his future plans, and playing the good guy for a change.
