This was roughly a decade ago. I was living near Abbas' residence in thiruvanmiyur and I was walking in the middle of rainfall to find an auto to take me to the railway station. Abbas spotted me and my desperation and offered a ride in his car and dropped me at the station. This video reminded me of that incident and I felt it is definitely mention worthy. Thank you Abbas for the help and the ride.

[@BallerinaWick1]

Thanks for sharing this. Understanding that he is a good hearted person.

[@Shoulder2Crayon]

Are you a woman? Probably thats why

[@sansore8868]

I too have seen him around few shops in Adyar, Thiruvanmiyur, besant nagar . He and Vikram are those known in our area for not showing any attitude while in public

[@kutroy2875]

​@@sansore8868which Vikram?

In the lively city of Auckland, I got to meet Abbas, who is really amazing. He's not just a famous actor, he's also really kind and caring. He's like a bright star in both movies and in being a great person. When I met Abbas, I felt really lucky. He helped and guided me without any trouble. Even though he's well-known, he acted friendly, like we were good friends. This showed me what a good person he is, bridging the gap between fame and being easy to talk to. But there's more to Abbas than just being famous. He cared about us even after we met, making sure we were okay. He's different because he kept in touch, making sure everyone in my family was doing well. This showed he really cares about us. Abbas is really down-to-earth. In the world of acting, where some people show off, he's a role model for being humble. He talked without being too proud, which is rare in his industry. This down-to-earth nature made a lasting impression on everyone who talked to him. Abbas' kindness goes beyond what's usual for people in movies. He's real and authentic, reminding us that being great isn't just about what you do on screen, but also how you treat people off-screen. When I think about meeting Abbas, I hope he gets lots of success and happiness. He's an inspiration to people who want to act and to anyone who wants to be kind like him. After Abbas visited Auckland, I really hope he comes back. His impact isn't just about entertainment. His return to movies would make his fans really happy. Abbas isn't just an excellent actor, he's also a wonderful human being. He's like a living example of how to be good to others. His easy guidance, caring attitude, and humble personality show that he's not just great in his job, but he sets a high standard for how to be an amazing person. In a world where heroes are usually in movies, Abbas is a real hero, reminding us that being humble and caring is even more powerful than being on a stage or in a movie.

[@mkharrisabdullagrowlife6344]

He is 😊

[@aparnak002]

Some people are just genuinely good humans.

[@neshdichola]

I personally felt that this type of interviews should be expanded and captivated because nowadays success have been glorified way too far to an extend where youngster believe that success is the only virtue but then in reality failures and negativity is a part of life and one should understand and learn how to handle it. I hope Abbas sir will get more good roles❤

[@manoj238]

Well said. It adds tremendous pressure, not even youngsters... even kids now a days...

Well put bro, very true!

[@ShyamalKumarK]

Damn! this man is more courageous than most people. Never knew this side of Abbas. Good life lessons

[@shakedj911]

Perfect time for Abbas to make a comeback... Hope he gets into the OTT space which will give him more opportunity to express himself. This interview was very relatable, you take a lot of things for granted when you are young, the older you get the more you realize who you really are and what's really important. Abbas has gone through that journey, All the best Abbas 2.0 or 3.0 of whatever... Looking forward to the big thing ahead from this guy !

[@Taji1894]

Love the fact he speaks openly about his failures and humiliation! He has the humility and resilience to accept all this ! Great human being

[@shankar4330]

Abbas sounds like a nice bloke. He shows we all have vulnerabilities. We all have our share of walk of shames and our lowest of all lows. This dude changed all his negativity and short falls into opportunities. Much to learn from this human being. Much inspiring

[@Dr.Ijaz_ab]

Kadhal Desam, Kandukonden, Padayappa , Minnale as a Malayalee kid that time the impact he created was impeccable!

[@greatviewer5084]

he is not malayali, he is from kolkatta

[@rufus1653]

This has to go viral, man totally spoked abt his entire life and struggles that he gone through!!!

[@AravindRants]

As a 90's kid we all known him as Top hero in tat time... Happy to see him Come back... Wish to see u in Big screen Abbas

[@praveenm7257]

I was in 11 years old when Premadesam was released and Abbas was a heartthrob. His hairstyle and attitude in the film was everyone's favourite. Good to see him after ages.

[@bkn728]

Omg, this whole interview feels like a life lessons❤❤❤ thank you #Abbas!

[@rahulbkm]

What a lovely chat. Sincerely hoping we see him on the screen again in some good roles.

[@frankscineviews1248]

Special mention about the musical album you did back in 1998 Yeh Hai Prem. I got the same dress combo for my sister's wedding. There are some serious hard core fans out here, wishing you a strong comeback dear Abbas..

[@PrakashS-zq4ve]

great to see the real heartthrob..Abbas..wooow..what time that was..he was an icon for us..role model and style icon..everyone wanted to look like Abbas..welcome back sir..we are waiting for your comeback into indian cinema. all the very best.

[@bargav2318]

Such a lovely interview, much needed one for many out here who are going through mental breakdown like me. It brings back hope in this world. This is beyond cinema, money and materialistic life. Abbas you are a good soul and thanks for sharing your experiences, it helped me a lot to cheer up and enjoy the life that remains. Thanks BR for curating this interview and not making it a melodramatic and letting the thoughts out as is. I not only wish Abbas to get got roles in cinema but I wish for his success in whatever he does so that he can transform and bring more happiness to PPL around him who need help. This world's deserves more PPL like him and he needs to be in a good position to extend his support. God bless 😇 PS: The emotion I had at the start of this interview has turned out to bring in so much positivity at the end of it.

[@Sriram-ty8sk]

I did not think a Baradwaj rangan interview could turn into a therapy session, and I am glad I watched this 🙌✨

[@jananisriganesh9365]

Maddy, abbas, rahuman ( ar rehman's relative actor) should do a Netflix show together. Whatever genre it is, i would love to watch.

[@praveenreginald2183]

This was a lovely interview. Abbas gave us some lovely movies in the 90s - early 2000s and we definitely look forward to a comeback

[@LongHornTexas]

Abbas has always been one of my favorite heroes. Keep wondering why he didn’t shine. Now we know how he was so laidback in his career. I really want him reach absolute heights in his second stint. He is simple and down to earth. Definitely more people will be inspired by his positive attitude. This is the need of the hour for many youth.

[@mrmistyrose007]

Wasn't expecting a tamil interview from Abbas! Impressive. Make a comeback, we are waiting! Get fit a bit, do an awesome villain role with GVM.

[@aparnak002]

I remember being in middle school and being a huge fan of his getting his address and writing a fan letter to Abbas. He replied with an autographed photograph!!! Can u imagine how i felt ?!?! Fan for life. I always wish him the best ❤

[@shwetha013]

The most heart warming interview I have watched in a very long time! He is articulate and grounded ❤ And Baradwaj.. time and again you show the genZ anchors how to host a show. No non sense questions, no cringe stuffs, and most importantly respecting the thoughts and opinions of the person sitting infront of you and giving them the space to speak their heart out. 🙏🏼

[@vishnufam]

Sometimes we get reminded how brutal and whimsical this industry is. Once a chocolate boy and poised for fame, then his career went downhill. Of course, he had his own business plans and stuff, but Maddy and Abbas ruled in the 2000's and admit it, we probably wanted to see more of them.

[@Attitudezero884]

​@@ABHlSHEKmaddy was juggling between tamil and hindi that's why long gaps in middle.

[@mohamedfaizal8164]

Prashant was another one. Ruled tamil cinema in early 2000s

[@gopinathbalakrishnan7390]

​@@mohamedfaizal8164prashant debut was in 1990 and was the only youngster giving hits after hits amongst veterans actors those days unfortunetly his family life affected his career focus

[@JOHNNY73900]

Abbas was popular for a brief period from the release of Kadhal Desam until early 1998, when Prashanth took over the Choco Boy throne with the success of Jeans

[@krishnasalinigunanathan5437]

Glad he made this interview. It's such an opener to a new path. Knowing him as a human being than an actor is making it so inspirational.

[@amodernpoet]

my respect for Abbas sir has grown while watching this...thank you

[@chevlott]

In Kandukonden Kandukonden, I was really hoping Aishwarya and Abbas would unite, because they looked so adorable together especially in song

[@chevlott]

90s kids know how talented actor Abbas is. He has worked with all the eminent technicians in Tamil cinema. He has good exposure of cinema also. I would love to see him on big screen again.

[@raveenkumar8275]

Talented? What memorable role did he do? He was just part of good and popular films

[@JOHNNY73900]

I was a fan of him and even I would admit that he don't really have acting talents although he can dance decently.

[@Locomente]

Now this guy is a true star....I mean simply unable to imagine a celebrity going to a corporate job.... truly humbling story.... All the best to Abbas...

[@grajiv1979]

Beautiful attitude.. We are unfortunate to miss such a lovely character. Thank you Abbas. I am a conservative person and never been bold to take decision always worried about failures. It happened so my whole life moved in that direction in every step of way. I was transmitting too much negativity to my kids and family. Trying hard to get out of it the last several years letting go of the past failures. This is a refreshing interview and positive. Keep it up.

[@anjukarikan7293]

Very good actor in the 90's . Very handsome too. Saw some lovely movies of his. Hoping that he is going to come back to the cinema world. Best wishes for Abbas from South Africa ❤

[@balajialagurajan243]

After seeing this interview I regret not being his fan in my teenage.😢 Such a good personality more importantly authentic person. Now i am a fan. I will warch all his movies OTT now. Love you and Goddess bless you Abbas!!!

Amazing interview. It is really good to see Abbas back and putting it out there for script writers and directors to notice as well. BR is always great with his conversation skills. I wish it continued for long. #Abbas #Abbasisback

[@thamaraik1773]

Oh wow!!!!!Abbas!!! So happy to see him. He looks the same. Didnt age much at all. Very nice interview. So much positivity from him. He is very inspiring and motivating. Good for him 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Best wishes to him ❤️

[@karthikkaushi]

The old guns are coming back and it is a challenege for directors to design a deserving character for them. Unfortunately Abbas still hasn't realized the impact he created with Kadhal Desam, thats the reason why he missed the opportunities. He is on fire now! 🔥

[@senthilk411]

Voice of those who did not reach the peak gives lot of wisdom and hope. Thank you Abbas.

[@vishnutk97]

I didn't know he kept a lot of pain in his heart, but he deserve for a comeback, Because he is a winner of "Life Lessons" ❤

[@anerudh7492]

He's a good footballer. When I was a kid i met him once. I was so young, i was half his height. I played football on the same ground near Adyar. Such a sweet person. My first celebrity experience. Such a nice person.

This is truly chicken soup for the soul kinda stuff. Best wishes to Abbas 3.0 and for all his future endeavours. In the present scenario he's bound to find something creatively fulfilling in the film industry or OTT.

[@sushaantsekhar2031]

Badradwaj sir, ur channel just changes my thinking and the way I think of certain aspects of life which is something unexplainable. All the interviews with celebrities are very contemplative and deep . This is not for sugarcoat but simply fantabulous. And this interview was nothing less, and Kudos to Mr. Abas cuz we got to know the optimist and the real-life hero which simply makes everyone motivated and accept any challenge in life with a positive mindset. And ofcourse how the conversation paned out made me again rethink and be a better person was an additional perk. Keep your wonderful work going cuz ur changing ppl's thinking in a better way. And very best of luck for Abbas sir, ur just simply wonderful and love ur mindset and how u view life by itself is astonishing❤

[@MrArulkumar11]

I used to have abbas hair style. I was a waiter 20 years before in ooty. In the middle of the night abbas came to the restaurant and had a sandwich. He had to go his black jeep to get his purse to pay for rest of the bill ( he paid a little from his pocket at the restaurant ). Myself being a fan of him didn't get his money I said I am your fan and I will take care of it. He insisted so much but me being a die hard fan I didn't get the money at all. Felt so good and i still remember it. Wish him all the best to act in films again. Wish to see you bro in big screens. PS I never changed my hair style❤

[@i_am_Rafiq]

[@Karthik-mw8kn]

I really felt bad when he said that " he went to RB Chaudhary & Dhanu and said that Sir please give me chance, i don't have any God father in the Industry ". That Godfather word explains the nepotism in our industry. Idhu content era now he can do content oriented OTT based films/series.

[@krishnarules]

All the best to 90s chocolate boy Abbas. Seems like a grounded and wise person, wish him all the best for his future.

[@undercoveragent1182]

[@gamerglitches6095]

I still remember going to "Kadhal Desam" with my friends which was playing then at Devi Paradise. Went to the movie after hearing the songs of ARR on audio cassette. When Mr. Abbas first came on the screen driving some car or a bike, the girls in front of our row just jumped and shouted, throwing paper and stuff..... and we were like "yaarruda ivan... ivanuku ivalavu mass panraanga ponnunga" (felt a little jealous too :-)). But everytime he came on the screen the girls in the hall went crazy. Audience dancing for Mustafa and hello doctor songs....man that was some movie-watching experience... never ever seen such a welcome for a total newbie and I felt that time he is going to be a big star in the future.
