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 watched TVF, but Badhaai ho! Is where i recognise him from
Just finished 7 minutes of the interview and couldn't resist to comment, he is so articulate and intelligent. No doubt he has gained so much recognition and love, just amazing.
He has such a child like innocence.. I love him man.. such a lovely interview man ❤️❤️
I loved his role as Jeetu K papa. That trumps over everything, this guy and Jeetu deserve more success.
I mean what is there to dislike.. who are these 7 frustrated people man! It was so nice listening to Gajraj ji

nothing special got it.. but why dislike Masand? 🤔
36:56 tear dropped from Rajeev’s eyes.. it says it all how valuable the conversation for him.. Gajraj sir this interview wasn’t just about movies it’s about how one should live the life and so much excitement in you... Have no words to appreciate this person...

Bro that was not tear...It was spit..
Badhai ho was definitely the turning point, but I think TVF also played a major role in bringing him closer to us.
The class act title has been appropriately suited to personalities like this man. Take a bow sir.
One of the finest actors. The purity in his soul and efforts is reflected in each character he performs, from TVF to Badhai Ho. More power to you sir. :)
He won my heart all over again .... He's amazingly talented and happy that out films now give equal platforms to all types of story telling and actors.
What a brilliant interview. So much respect for Gahrajji. Really good questions Rajeev seriously well done
Gajraj ji is a terrific actor..loved him since tvf days..finally getting his due 🤗
This is the interview we have always wanted!! What a character man! Gajraj sir has always been a classic actor throughout his acting career. 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!
Two most favorite people and two people i don't ever get bored listening to are This man and Pankaj Thripati ❤️ Such wonderful actors and human beings.
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.
This interview was one of the best conducted by Rajeev... I was a fan was gajraj ji but didn't know his back story. This was the most profound interview.
I dont know why m crying after listening to him..i think its the purity of his soul and his journey 😊😊

Such a humble and honest person! An absolute treat to watch him. He expresses his life journey with so much grace and holds zero qualms for the rest of world.
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.

Very true!
Love these interviews. Please do more of them Rajeev. I loved Rao saab's performances before this interview but I fell in love with him after watching this. Keep up the great work.
What a fantastic interview !! Thanks a lot Rajeev for this.. Mr. Gajraj Rao is a bit younger to me but the struggles he faced, the obstacles he overcame and the success he eventually achieved, made him, I'm happy to admit, far more matured and bigger than me.. and made me his fan. Beautiful session indeed !
Dislikers are the ones who only come to see the exotic food on the table which was missing in this interview 😂😂🤣 🤣
This is pure CLASS! Rajeev: i adore you anyways and now even more. Thanks for bringing this to us
Gajraj Rao is a real fantastic actor. We watched many excellent performances ... Truly lovely artist🎨🎭
What a performer he is.....class act indeed 👏👏
So glad that Gajraj ji has finally found a place.. He is a class act. Hope to see him more often on screen with exciting roles.
Such warmth in his eyes!
Real actors have a lot of dimensions to talk about art rather than just talking what's going on trend? How you handle stardum?how you handle paparazzi?and blaa blah blah..... Just talk about art.. like this episode.
One of the best and purest conversations of class act series and overall Rajeev’s interviews
"I benefitted from this interview.." u earned a fan today Rajeev..good work 👍
Such a wonderful human being Gajaraj ji is! May he have more success and joy in his life!
He is a man with great experiences of life and directed his lows in a positive manner without stretching out for no reason.......
He is an amazing actor. One of the best interviews of Rajeev. Mr. Gajraj Rao is the best..keep up the good work Sir..you are too good..
How can he be so humble and down to earth 😧 unbelievable 💯💚
Sir aapko mai TVF k videos se dekh rahi hu..different characters play karte hue..tab se aap mere favourite ban gye hai..behtareen hai aap...u r perfect for CLASS ACT.👏👏👏👏👏👏
His actual breakout was his Flipkart ad in TVF with Jeetu
Beautiful interview...can listen to Gajraj sir all day....
One of the best interviews of your show and one of the most genuine actors we discovered, Mr. Gajraaj Rao.
What a humble person. His acting is so real and through this interview we came to know that how genuine and loving person he is. Thank you Rajeev Sir for this treat.
brilliant actor, so effortless. class act indeed. respect sir!
Such a humble and honest man and an equally incredible actor. Just loved Masand Sir's choice to interview him. ♥️
Great interview.Gajrajji you are so humble.I had tears in my eyes while listening to the struggles of your father.
Wow he’s younger than Srk etc
He'd be such a good dad. No wonder we all love him for that specific role since his breakthrough.
I have never seen a man half as good as him. He made me speechless. 😲
Thank you Rajeev Masand Ji for organising these shows. Truly the name is ... Class Act.. hum asha karenge agey bhi aise kalakaron ko aap apne show mein bulaye. Aur humein in kalakaro sunne ko mauka de. All the best to the entire team to make this show a success.
Delighted to see Mr Gajraj Rao on ur show. Such a humble, down to earth human being also a fine 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 !!
हिंदी में इंटरव्यू सुनकर मज़ा आ गया।
Rajeev, extremely well done and great questions!
Wonderful interview Rajeev..... somehow I find interviews of so-called supporting actors better than those of stars :)
Enjoyed the whole interview but I think I fell a little in love with him at the end. It doesn't happend often that an interview makes you smile.Such a wonderful human being. Much love to you sir. ❤❤❤
What a different way to look at life! Thank you Gajraj ji for this lessons. I felt positive and happy after watching this.
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
Such a grateful soul. How beautifully he explained n drew parallels betn adulation with first half n second half of life n movie.
I see Gajraj Sir n clicked like 👍🏻 Authenticity bhi koi cheez hai, bhai ! Shukriya.
Absolutely love Rajeev for this!
What a beautiful interview :). Gajraj Rao and Rajeev masand are a pleasure to watch.
This is one interview where Rajeev Masand looks and sounds relaxed. One of the best interview!!! Thank you
Not many might know how awesome he was as a ruthless villan in Aamir.
What a fantastic actor . Gajraj ji, I loved you performance in badhayion... I still remeber your roll from Amir movie.. single person role in entire movie...
Bahut hi behtareen.....the attitude probably sums it up for gajraj sir...that khet story of his grandfather says alot about things as our (lower and middle) middle class section of our country..alot to learn.. #rajeevmasand #classact #gajrajsir
Brilliant!!! Great Actor and superb human being. Looking forward to more performances from him.
Gajraj rao's breakout performance was with TVF

Haven't u watched amir? Do watch his role
I guess the Best thing that happened to Indian Cinema is the Success of Ayushman Khurana Cinema. 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.
What an absolute gem Gajrajji is! And Rajeev Masand always asks just the right questions. Atiqa Farooqui, Anupama Chopra and Rajeev Masand, 3 people who do a great job of interviewing film personalities, in my opinion .
Gajraj rao is so sweet and chill
Gajraj sir thanks for this valuable interview ..... learnt do many things from you
The first time i saw and searched for this guy is while watching TVF shows. Good that finally some recognition for such talents. Great going!
His analogies are so great!! That's why he is an Ad film maker
The dad India needs right now! Just lovely 💖...like a warm reassuring hug!
Purane actors ki alag he simplicity and understanding of life hoti he...amazing to listen to all these greats..
Such an articulate and honest person. Great human being and an actor per excellence.
