CLASS ACT: Gajraj Rao with Rajeev Masand | Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan | Badhaai Ho

On the sixth episode of Class Act, Rajeev Masand sits down for a chat with actor #GajrajRao, who explains how he prepared to play a homophobic father who can’t wrap his head around the fact that his son is gay in #ShubhMangalZyadaSaavdhan. Gajraj, who has been acting in films for nearly 25 years, explains why #BadhaaiHo was a turning point for him, and why he remains grounded, realistic, and pragmatic despite the overnight popularity and recognition.

I have watched bandit queen and saw him there for the very first time back in ‘09. He has been genuinely working in Aks, dil se and very recently BHB and upcoming SMZS New gem bollywood has re-found like boman irani at the age of 45-48 Totally loved the kind of roles he has been choosing recently!

    Respect to Rajeev Masand for showing so much respect to Gajraj Rao. And yes it is adtalis, but he usually doesn’t take interviews in Hindi. Not even sure if that is his first language. He is conciously trying to speak Hindi as the person he is talking to is comfortable in Hindi.

    23:30 Beautifully explained. Work hard towards your goal and stop waiting for some miracle to change your life. I think calling someone's success an "Overnight Success" is an insult to the person's commitment and hard work. Success doesn't come overnight rather it's a consequence of hard work and dedication over countless nights. Thanks Rajeev for this enlightening interview with such a humble and terrific actor.

    A quick advice : Start a podcast and bring all these people there and have hour long or even longer conversations where there is no fixed format and time restriction . Post the video part on youtube or not but have the audio format on all major platforms. Because if anyone in bollywood can bring all these people together , it's you . A new guy will not have access to all these good actors. That podcast will be a sure shot success !!

    I remember watching him for the first time the late 90s. Not sure if it was Bhanwar or India’s most wanted, where he played the role of a paedophile. It was one of the most intense performances I had seen. I knew he was better than playing small roles. Hard work definitely pays. Edit: I believe TVF gave him actual break

It brought in the Best of Supporting cast talents who ended up shining way Brighter than the main lead, Nina G, Seema G ... Pankaj Sir and Gajraj G. are a few examples. But what we discovered in the process is that ... what makes them such a great performer is the purity of their souls. They are such wonderful people to know, hear, love and follow. Thanks a lot Rajiv Sir for bringing it to us, this in it self is a CLASS ACT.
