[@shamoritaislam4252]

He truly deserves tamannah in every possible way 😊

[@justchinniye]

Yes. Tamannah also deserves this man. It goes both way. Nobody is big or small.

Awwww!! The way he held back his tears was so heartfelt

[@nehagoraksha6647]

A genuinely honest interview after ages! It’s so refreshing. Also knowing how much hardwork goes behind acting makes you respect actors who are usually considered to get it all easy once famous.

[@collinsenosh]

Such deep, spontaneous, and fun-to-listen conversations are actually very hard to create! Kudos to both of you.

[@gshadeyshadow]

He is such a perfect amalgamation of all great qualities ❤Absolutely loved watching and listening to him every second. Love his child like innocent break into laughters. Reflects his grounded soul and his values that he inherited from his parents

[@mPOWword]

Amazing watch. Anuji is the best in the industry. Absolutely floored with Vijayji’s humility, genuineness and spiritual side. More power and success to team FC and Vijay Varma.

[@MaheshSharma-kq3bl]

M Rajasthani Born and Brought up in Pune and whatever Vijay is talking regarding parents and family as I have joined my dad's business I totally relate and understand whatever he's saying it's every Rajasthani Business oriented family equation be it his dad or mom totally relatable love this guy

[@dbasu1983]

One of the best. He spoke so brilliantly I had tears when he spoke about his parents.

[@meghachauhan748]

That is a very good idea.

[@deeprasarkar1409]

His talent is unbelievable ❤

[@Faiza-Irfan]

Humza was a scary guy! Even though it was a dark comedy, that scene when he comes back from jail with the lunchbox making the noise was disturbingly scary

[@sonumonu5553]

Anupama mam u r looking like cutie doll ❤ thank u for inviting one of my fav artist.

All things aside.. ever time when Anupama wears this jacket... I love her grace even more... I really want this jacket. It's beautiful ❤

More in Hindi or mix it

[@aliimran3226]

You can not regret for things which are not in your control. Great line vijo

[@abhi02arora]

It breaks my heart when there is a mention of Ranbir n Ranveer and not Shahid. It Kills me ! I can guarantee shahid is way more a better actor than both of them. Wish Shahid better luck as always. Kudos to Vijay! You are a treat to watch.

[@justchinniye]

Agree with you! He is not a part of Karan Johar group or Aditya Chopra group. That’s why film industry doesn’t give Shahid the same respect or importance.

[@rohitsaha9317]

No.

[@meckygaming3390]

I understand your point but he is not better than ranbir.

[@ajithmn]

38:22 One of the most UNDERRATED SERIES of the History of the Series. BRING ON THE NIGHT. This series introduced some amazing talents like ARJUN MATHUR, HUSSAIN DALAL, PATRICK GRAHAM, SARANG SATHAYE. It was soooooo refreshing series of MUMBAI and their night life. I still remember when I was in College I watch it religiously on MTV. Also Fun Fact: Its written by ROHAN JOSHI, ASHISH SHAKYA and TANMAY BHAT

[@paribhat]

Where can we watch this ?

[@justflow1964]

What an amazing actor!

[@amitabalgopal9876]

Extremely down to earth person

[@meshzy13]

I'm excited that more and more young Indian stars have praised theaters and the help they received from doing so. In Hollywood, almost all big stars will do a play in Broadway and such, it's high time for Bollywood mega stars to drop their ego and actually show their skills on stage. I bet many couldn't handle it tbh, as you need to be very fine actors. Mega stars are good behind camera and edits but pure talents shine on stage. Just saying, idolized someone who have pure talent too not just merely entertaining factor.

[@user-uj9yi9ru7i]
