# Shaan reveals wife told him he is a very bad actor 2026-08-23T15:42:59+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Singer Shaan has revealed that his wife Radhika Mukherji told him to never act again after watching his performance in the 2001 film Daman. In a conversation with Komal Nahta, Shaan said Radhika told him: "Give it to me in writing, you're a very bad actor... dal roti ke vaande ho jaayenge" (we will be ruined). Shaan began his career with Indipop songs and later became a playback singer. He acted in the film Daman alongside Raveena Tandon and Raima Sen, and later appeared in Balwinder Singh Famous Ho Gaya (2014) and the web series Brown. Shaan said he decided to quit acting after his wife's comments, though he added that he sometimes considers reviving his acting career. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Shaan's acting career never took off after Daman, a film directed by the late Kalpana Lajmi that failed at the box office. His wife's blunt feedback echoes a common dynamic in Indian entertainment families where personal honesty shapes career choices. Shaan remains primarily known as a playback singer with hits across the 2000s, and his occasional acting appearances have been cameos or special roles. The key question for fans is whether he will follow through on his hint of a comeback, or if Radhika's words have permanently ended his acting ambitions. ## Coverage - bollywoodhungama.com Straightforward celebrity news piece with no political or ideological slant.
