In today’s episode, we have with us Paresh Rawal, one of India’s most versatile and fearless actors. From Hera Pheri’s iconic Babu Bhaiya to intense performances in Sardar Patel, Mumbai Meri Jaan, and Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, he’s played it all; comedy, darkness, and depth.
We talk about how he learned acting by simply observing people, no formal classes, just on-job training. Why 95% of the films he did were for money, and how those very films helped him sustain and do projects that truly mattered to him.
In the last segment, we talk about his role as Chairman of NSD, his take on lobbying in awards, how AI will raise the bar for creativity, and his thoughts on politics and religion. Honest, intelligent, and unapologetically real, this episode is Paresh Rawal like you’ve never seen him before.
