Telly star Sharad Malhotra feels that consumption of drugs may be a personal choice, but he would put his foot down if he saw someone doing drugs publicly on the set because that is a place of work. "I think it's a personal choice if you want to do drugs or consume alcohol, but why drag the entire sector in it?" said the "Naagin 5" actor, about a section of media and social media blaming the entire industry for the industry's alleged drug links.

"They say one bad apple spoils the barrel, and I understand that. But it's a massive industry that is flourishing, and it has been doing great all these years. I am really proud to be a part of the industry. Whatever people want to do in their personal lives is their choice. But if you are doing drugs or consuming alcohol on the set, I will put my foot down because that's the place we work. Honestly, all these years I have not seen anyone doing anything like that on the set," he said.
