Param Sundari; Anupam Kher with Robert De Niro

Actors who don’t act

Randeep Hooda’s acting debut in Mira Nair’s Monsoon Wedding (2001) may have seemed like a dream start, but one remark left a lasting impact. Speaking to Mayank Shekhar, mid-day’s Entertainment Editor, Randeep, in the latest episode of Sit with Hitlist, recalled a moment from the 58th Venice Film Festival in 2001, where the film won the prestigious Golden Lion award. However, the celebratory evening took a different turn for Randeep. He felt he didn’t know how to act. The actor shared, “We were dancing and drinking, and I sat down next to this American distributor. He told me, ‘You were one of the few who were not acting in the movie.’ I took that very badly.” Embarrassed, he didn’t tell anyone at the time as he didn’t realise it was a compliment. He revealed how he then went to Naseeruddin Shah for guidance, and told him that he wanted to work in theatre. “I went to Naseer Bhai and told him ‘I want to do plays.’” The experience sparked a shift in his career. “I made it a point not to expose myself as an actor who doesn’t act,” he said. The two actors have since shared the screen in John Day (2013) and the theatre stage.
