Bakhshi’s acting in this era was not without controversy, though. There were times when he faced criticism for taking roles that some perceived as supporting the new political regime too heavily. While others in the industry became outspoken critics or quietly moved away from the spotlight, Bakhshi maintained a more measured, pragmatic stance. He did not shy away from embodying the ideals of his new roles, but he also infused them with his own understanding of the complexities of human nature. This earned him both admiration and some level of skepticism from different parts of the audience and his colleagues in the industry.
