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.

He opens up about anger, saying it always comes from being hurt, and why he now avoids emotional attachments because losing people hurts too deeply. He also shares his views on love, the importance of female energy, and how in today’s times, even comedy has become risky.

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.
