Transcript

00:00You've worked as an assistant director for Guzarash for Iqqa Tiger and how was that like?

00:08Did it somehow play an important part in learning the craft?

00:12I think for an actor being an assistant director, if you get a chance and especially working with people like Mr. Bansali and Kabir Khan,

00:21I think it is as good as working in theatre.

00:24Kesri Bheer, when the project came to you, was it like a definite yes or did you take some time?

00:33No, no, it was a definite, definite, definite yes. I think I was born for a character and a role like this.

00:40You were launched by Salman Khan Productions or has he given you any specific advice that you still did follow?

00:47So, Salman sir and me, we've always only spoken about experience of life, of struggles or of families or fitness is somewhere we actually really connected.

01:00That's how I actually became very close to him.

01:03I think he has taught me a lot, not even by just saying something. He doesn't need to say something to me.

01:10I understand it with his look, what he's trying to convey to me.

01:16Tell me one quality that you've inherited from your father and your mother poor.

01:21I have the heart and mind of my mother.

01:24And my father always backed my sister and me like the best father in this entire world.

01:30Do you have industry friends, Suraj?

01:32I would call Atia one of them.

01:34Okay.

01:34Then there is Rinzink, then Zompa and then there's Tyne.

01:40You and Tiger Shop bond over fitness?

01:44That's where we met.

01:45I'm like, who's this good looking dude and he's ripped.

01:49I want to be like him.

01:50And he saw me like, who the hell is this ripped guy, you know?

01:53And that's how we connected and then we became friends.

01:56You know what many people want me to ask you?

01:59Are you single?

02:01Am I single?

02:01Yeah.

02:04Tell me one thing you did at school.

02:07Do you remember her?

02:08I remember I had failed in history.

02:11Okay.

02:12So they called my mother to school and that day my mom was shooting.

02:16So they called Mr. Aditya Pancholi to school.

02:19And they tell him that, sir, he's very bad at his studies.

02:24You know.

02:25He said, my dad said, what did he do?

02:27He said, he failed in history.

02:28They said, he failed in history.

02:29So the reply to them was, what did he study in history?

02:32He said, what will he do to his future?

02:34He said, learn about his future.

02:42I definitely don't.

02:43Hey guys, we are at the show called Table for Two.

02:47And that is the beautiful Shahza and I am Suresh Pancholi.

02:49Oh, the tables have turned this time. Thank you for such a lovely introduction. And I'm

02:56so glad to have you on the show. Thank you so much. This is a show that I'm doing after

03:00a very, very long time. And it's my first one this year. Yeah. Are you excited? Of course

03:05I am. Yeah. I'm super excited too. Yeah. So, Suraj, you know, before we delve into your

03:12professional journey, I want to say that, you know, firstly, I want to congratulate

03:18you. You know, you complete 10 years in the industry this year. Yes. Yes. I've lost

03:23count, but thank you. No, you do probably 10 years. So, congratulations on that. And

03:28also for your film, Kesri Veer. Thank you so much. And yeah, I mean, it just, but you

03:34know what I feel personally is that, that a lot of people, you've been in the industry

03:39for 10 years, but a lot of people do not know you as a person. It's been a mystery. Why

03:44so? It's because I've not done as much as body as a body of work as the others, but

03:50they say slow and steady wins the race. There's a lot of time and generally also I'm not a

03:58very outgoing person. I like being in my own shell and my own bubble. Yeah. Yeah. And

04:05talking about your film, Kesri Veer, when the project came to you, was it like a definite

04:12yes or did you take some time to say yes to it? No, it was a definite, definite, definite

04:17yes. Yeah. Definite yes for me. And why was that? Were you, what, what intrigued you to

04:22take up this project? Firstly, Kesri Veer is a story about fighters and warriors and people

04:32who stood up for the right. And, and I always wanted to play a warrior. Oh, you know, my

04:39favorite films are Gladiator and Troy and stuff like that. So I always wanted to play a warrior.

04:47I always wanted to, to fight with a sword. I always wanted to fight for a noble cause.

04:54So I, I mean, as this script came to me, to my side, 100% high. Okay. Okay. Okay. So you

05:02are playing a historical figure, Amir Ji Goyal. Yes. Which stepping into his shoulders is a big

05:09fate in itself, right? Yeah. Big feet, big responsibility. Yes. Big responsibility on your shoulders.

05:14Yes. So were you nervous at all before you? No, actually I wasn't nervous at all because I think

05:23this is a film that, uh, something that came very naturally to me. I think I was born for

05:31a character and a role like this. So it came very naturally. Uh, and I knew that I was working

05:37with some very skilled technicians and skilled, uh, um, directors and skilled writers and skilled

05:46actors as well. So I knew I was in good hands. Yeah. Yeah. So how many battle scars did you collect

05:53on set? Uh, every day, a few, every day. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, um, apart from K3V, if we go

06:03back, for us, I'll be, um, you know, roll back to your debut. Yeah. Hero. Big production house.

06:10Mm-hmm. You and Athia debuted together. Yes. And I know that you were very emotional

06:15when you saw yourself for the first time on the screen, right? Uh, no, I was not emotional

06:20when I saw myself on the screen. Yeah. Yeah. At that point of my life, there was so much going on.

06:27So it was, uh, they say, uh, I was just overwhelmed with, uh, the support I received from

06:38a few people. Yeah. So your first co-star was Athia. Are you guys in touch? Uh, yes,

06:45I actually, she's having, she had a baby now, but, uh, we are in touch here, here or there

06:51because I'm actually working with, uh, Sunin Sir on in case. That's what I was about to say.

06:54So it's come a full circle moment for you. Full circle, actually. Um, so, I mean,

07:01Hero definitely was my debut, but I feel this one's my debut as well because, uh, it's an entire

07:06new Subhat Panchoni. We'll see not only with the way I look, I guess, uh, with my energy and with,

07:13uh, a more focused mindset. So I think, uh, this is actually the debut I needed.

07:19Okay. So you consider K3V to be the perfect debut for you, if you had to say?

07:26Yes. Yes. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. So now you've played, you've played a wardrobe,

07:32you've played a romantic hero action. Is there any genre that you think that you haven't

07:36tapped into? I would actually love to do, um, uh, a negative role. If it's a powerful negative

07:42character, I would love to do it. Yeah. Yes. And actually there are no, uh, if you, if you,

07:48um, I was having a conversation with a few friends, um, there are no villains anymore. Yeah. Like

07:56before there was, uh, of course there was my dad, there was, uh, uh, Danny Deng Sampa, sir. There

08:03was, uh, an actor called Bob Crystal. So these were like legendary villains. How could you forget

08:12how many people? Yes, of course. So we need a good, uh, set of villains now. Yeah. And there are very,

08:20maybe a handful or maybe you can't even think of a proper villain. I think the last one I can

08:24personally think of is John Abraham and Patal. But see, his image is still of a hero. Um, because he did

08:33diplomat. Yeah. He's, he's, I mean, he was, he's done a gray shade in Dhoom, but he was still the hero

08:40in that. So do you regret refusing any project that actually became a big hit? No, no, no regrets

08:47so far? No. Yeah. Man with no regrets. Uh, I mean, I must have done something. Love that. Yeah. I mean,

08:54few regrets here and there, but not with work. Not professionally. I asked. Yeah. Yeah. But, uh,

09:00okay. So tell me, uh, behind the scenes, what kind of a person are you? Like,

09:04are you the prankster kind? Are you like, you know, in your shell, like you said,

09:08I mean, I'm definitely, I'm the prankster type. And, uh, if, uh, one day I hope we can have an

09:14interview with, with my friends around, you'll see a different, uh, Suraj, a very

09:21outspoken Suraj, but, uh, I've always been a prankster. I've always been the troublemaker in school.

09:27I've troubled my mother so much when I was a kid. Yes. Maybe you should interview her someday

09:33and ask. I will, I will. And I'm really intrigued to know what kind of troubles you are causing at

09:40that point. But, uh, any specific incident you want to share from behind the sets, like any fun

09:46incident that you did? Who did you prank? I don't know every day. There's something,

09:51actually I'm very close to my staff. Uh, um, there's Sanju, there's Nilesh Dada,

09:58there's Kuldeep, uh, there's a friend called Ayaz. So we have a small, uh, how would I say,

10:05a small wolf pack that we all just mess around with each other every day, um, just to make things

10:11lighter. Even if it's a hot summer day at shoot, we make it really a good environment for all of us.

10:19So I like working with them and I hope I work with them till the day I'm in this industry.

10:25Okay. So one more thing that intrigues me is that you've, uh, worked as, um, an assistant director

10:33for Guzarash for Iktha Tiger. Yeah. And how was that like, did it somehow play an important part

10:40in learning the craft? I think the most it's, I think being an assistant director of working

10:47behind the camera for a couple of years before you get into the field, either a director actor

10:56or, uh, DOP, whatever it is. I think, uh, for an actor being an assistant director,

11:02if you get a chance and especially working with people like Mr. Bansali and Kabir Khan,

11:08um, I think it is as good as working in theater, you know, because it teaches you so much because,

11:15acting for camera and acting for theater are two different things. There are a lot of theater actors,

11:21amazing, amazing actors, uh, who find it difficult working on set because it's a very controlled

11:28environment. Uh, same time an actor work on a stage, theater stage. I can't, I don't think I can do

11:36theater because I've, I've not been trained for that. So I think for an actor, it's very important

11:41to, to know how films are actually made. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Um, so again, coming back to Hero,

11:50you were launched by Suman Khan Productions and he's been there in your life. Yes.

11:56Yes. You know, for quite a prominent time. Right. Um, did he give you any advice or has he given you any

12:04specific advice that you still did follow? Suman sir and me, we've always only spoken about, uh,

12:13personal life, whether it's been his experiences or my experiences, or we've never spoken about films

12:20or, or stuff like that. We've always connected on a very different, uh, like, uh, a different, uh, space.

12:29On a personal level. On a personal level. On a personal level. Whether it is, uh, experience of life, uh,

12:35of struggles or, of, uh, families or, uh, fitness is somewhere we actually really connected. That's

12:42how I actually became very close to him because during the sets, uh, shoot of Ekta Tiger, I would train with

12:48him after pack up. Wow. I mean, why wouldn't I miss the chance to train with Suman Khan? It was my,

12:56my golden opportunity to, to be around a man like that, you know? Uh, so we bonded on, on the set and

13:04then we bonded in, uh, in the gyms. And then, um, I think, uh, he has taught me a lot, not even by just

13:13saying something. He doesn't need to say something to me. I understand it with his, his look, what he's

13:19trying to convey to me. So it's a very unspoken thing. Oh, yeah. Okay. Very beautiful. Um, uh, what

13:28about your parents? You have beautiful family legacy in the film. Yes. You know, but, uh, we are not a

13:35typical filmy family. We are a very different, uh, film, uh, set film family set up. We never speak

13:45films. We never speak, uh, awards. My mother still doesn't know what's the difference between

13:51marketing and PR. My father actually knows it now because of me. Uh, there was no one who groomed him.

13:59There was no one who groomed my mother. They came from nowhere and they became something, you know,

14:04they are self-made and, uh, they never came from a film family. So they were never groomed to, to, uh,

14:11say the right things or to do the right things. But, uh, my family is a very normal middle-class

14:20family. My mom still cooks for everyone in the house. She still cooks for herself. Not because we

14:26want her to. She loves it. She's from Hyderabad. She, uh, cooks the best biryani.

14:31Haleem? Do you like Haleem? Yes, everything. So she makes, uh, really good food for all of us.

14:37She still goes shopping. I'm not shopping. Like I'm talking like grocery shopping on the street,

14:43you know? So my mom, my mom is extremely, uh, very, very simple for me. Um, it's not only me saying

14:51it, you ask anyone in the industry, they'll, they'll tell you that she's the least filmy person

14:56in the industry. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, coming back to your question. Uh, yes, I do come from a film

15:03family, but we are not filmy. So I want to ask you something, okay? Because you come from a film

15:09family, had a big launch and everything. Yes. Again, with Athiya Shetty, who also comes from a film

15:15family. What is that one thing, one perception that people have about Starkids? That's not true.

15:21See, I, I understand the struggle for somebody who's come here from outside. It's definitely,

15:28uh, very, very difficult. I can't even, uh, imagine, um, the struggles they have to go, go through.

15:36But I think for the star kids, whatever you call it, there are many out there who have not made it,

15:43you know, so if you see, and this outsider, insider thing is, is there, of course, it is there. I

15:52would not say it's not, but, uh, I think everyone will get a fair chance if they perform well. Uh, even the

15:59best of the star kids, if they don't perform well, they will not get work. It's a hundred percent

16:05thing. It's simple. If the audience does not like you, they will throw you out. No matter whose son you

16:13are, no matter whose kid you are, no matter how much money you have, nothing. Uh, but, uh, yes,

16:20it is easier because there are more connections that are. I mean, we can maybe pick up a phone call to a

16:27producer and go like, sir, I would like to come and meet you and he will meet us. But for outsider,

16:31that is maybe not that easy. Also, uh, from people from the film family, uh, um, like, uh,

16:42Ibrahim will be compared to, uh, Saif sir's last film, not Saif sir's first film. So that is

16:50something that is going to be very difficult for Ibrahim to fulfill. I'm sure he will at, uh, at one

16:56point he still has a long way to go. I'm giving Ibrahim just as an example, you know, so our kids

17:02are compared to the parents last film and our parents have done hundreds of films, you know,

17:09so, um, that's the difference I would say, but, uh, it definitely is a little bit more easy.

17:15Yeah. Basically, according to you, audience is K. They decide. K or an outsider.

17:21100%. There are so many, uh, superstars of the kids who sit in the house.

17:26I don't want to name them. They're my friends also. I hope they make it someday because I'm,

17:30I'm sure deep inside they also want to, uh, make their father or their mother proud, you know,

17:37because every kid has that, K, I want my father to feel very proud of me. I want my mother to feel very

17:44proud of me. Every kid has it. And every father, every mother has this for the kid. So I hope they,

17:49they succeed. Uh, but there are lots that are very powerful, but still sitting home.

17:55Yeah. Do you have industry friends, Suraj? Uh, I have only three industry friends. I would call

18:02Atiya one of them. Okay. Uh, then there is Rin Zing, then Zompa. Uh, and then there's Thail.

18:09Tiger Shop. And there's one more boy, uh, Jeeva. Jeeva is Jeeza's son.

18:14Okay. Yes. And, uh, do you and Tiger Shop bond over fitness?

18:19Uh, that's where we met the first time. Primarily, yeah.

18:22Because I, I remember entering the gym and I saw this, we were very young. We were

18:29really 14 years old. And Tiger and me almost are the same age. I entered the gym and I saw this very

18:36Italian looking 14 year old boy. I used to go to the gym and fight fitness. I was very young,

18:41you know, very, very young. And I do said from the mirror, I saw this guy with long hair,

18:46ripped. And when he turned around, I was like, I've seen him somewhere because as, as children,

18:53the best birthday parties would have been Tiger's birthday parties for the industry kids, you know?

18:58And after that, I saw him when he was like 14, 15, I'm like, who's this good looking dude? And he's

19:05ripped. I want to be like him. And he saw me like, who the hell is this guy, you know? And that's how we

19:11connected. And then we became friends. And that's where I met Rinsing. And that's where I met Jeeva.

19:16And then we just all became really, really close. Yeah. So now, rewinding back a little, you know,

19:24how were you as a kid? What was your childhood like? I was very, very, very active as a kid. I

19:31would never sit in one place. Never, never, never sit in one place. Even at home or even in school.

19:38I was actually, when I said troublemaker, it was all maybe like innocent trouble I'm talking about.

19:46I would always be punished. Were your parents ever called to school? A hundred times.

19:54A hundred times. Tell me one thing you did at school. Do you remember? I remember I had failed

20:00in history. Okay. They would always call my mom to school and she was so tired and

20:08parishion of me. So they called my mother to school and that day my mom was shooting.

20:15So they called Mr. Aditya Pancholi to school.

20:20What happens then is that he comes to school and they tell him that,

20:23sir, he's very bad at his studies. You know, he said, I said, what did he do? He said,

20:31he failed in history. They said, he failed in history. So the reply to them was,

20:35what will you study in history? What will you study in the future?

20:40Your dad has a good sense of humor. He's just very, he's extremely practical in, in that way. So

20:48and it was actually, it was, it was scary for me that time, but now when I think of it,

20:52it was actually a good answer. Yeah, it was actually a good answer. But you know,

20:56ironically, you weren't a history buff, but are you playing a historical role?

21:02Now I like watching documentaries about history. I like, I don't read much. I like,

21:08not a reader, not a big reader, but I'll, I do the, the, the channel that I have on in the night

21:15is discovery. So, or history or something like that. Okay. Any favorite shows you have?

21:20Black Warrant. No. Okay. On Netflix. Okay. Amazing show. I would recommend

21:27people watching this to watch that show. Yeah. Did you watch House of Cards? No. No. Okay.

21:32Should. Amazing. What's your relationship with your parents like? Are you closer to your mom or your dad?

21:39I was very, very close to my mom till I became older. Now I'm 34 and now I'm very close to my father

21:52because now with time I understood him. Um, he's a very black or white kind of person.

22:01There is no gray, gray. Oh, he's never the person who can be neutral. So before it was very difficult

22:16for me to understand him as a kid. There were lots of things that I didn't

22:22maybe like about him. But now when I sit back, I spend time with him. I speak to him. I see the

22:30struggles. I see where he's come from. And I see that he had me and my sister at a very, very, very

22:35young age when he was 21. And I can't imagine how he must have taken care of us at that point,

22:45taking care of two kids, you know, and he was very new in the industry at that point also.

22:50So as a father, he's been a very strong support to my sister and me. Yeah. So I appreciate him for

22:57that. Um, very difficult to understand, but once you do, you will, you will fall in love with him.

23:03Yeah. So tell me one quality that you've inherited from your father and your mother both.

23:11Have the heart and mind of my mother. Oh, yeah. Why would you say that?

23:17Morals of my mom are extremely strong. She always stood for my sister and I, my sister and me.

23:25And that's what I love about her. And my father always backed my sister and me

23:30like the best father in this entire world. So I have a very fun game for you now.

23:35Yeah. Um, and I personally designed it for you only because I happen to do a lot of research about

23:42you. Okay. So first question, uh, what's the first thing you do when you wake up to kickstart your day?

23:48Put on my clothes.

23:53Yeah. What does your coffee order look like?

23:56Uh, I make it myself at times. Um, just plain black coffee.

24:02You also put that ghee in it or MCT or something like that?

24:05No, no. It's called, uh, I forgot what it's called. Something it's called, but no.

24:09No. You don't do that? Plain, simple, black coffee. Okay. Now, uh, you train a lot at the gym.

24:16No, actually I don't train a lot. I post a lot of training videos or pictures or body or whatever

24:22because I have a massive, uh, uh, uh, male following. Um, female following is a lot less than me.

24:29I would say. No. No. No mistake in here. I don't know, but I get messages more from,

24:35from boys than girls about my fitness, about my clothes, about my diet, about my hair, about my

24:42Maybe you're not checking the right days. Yes. But wait, what? So I only work out for 45 minutes.

24:47It's not long. So what's your favorite workout routine?

24:50Legs. Okay. And one exercise that you swear by? Squats.

24:56Yes. Really bad at that, but okay.

24:59Um, maintaining such a physique, um, sort of requires discipline. So do you follow like a

25:04strict diet or is there a guilty pleasure that you occasionally indulge in? See, I can't,

25:10I'm a person who can't do something in balance. If I'm on a diet, I'm on a very strict diet. If I'm not,

25:16I'm not on a diet. So currently I'm on a diet, but when I'm not shooting or not doing interviews or

25:23something, I'm on a very unhealthy, very buckwass, very. And what does

25:29that buckwass diet look like? Just sweets, chocolates, um, yeah,

25:34cereal, pizzas, burgers, everything. Yeah. Makes me hungry. But I like doing it. I like

25:40seeing myself a little chubby then because then it takes me back to the gym also. So

25:43there's a term now, I think called bulking. So people say you call like, when they like on a high

25:49calorie time, you call it bulking or I'm bulking. It's not bulking, it's not big, it's not big.

25:55Okay. Cool. So what kind of music do you listen to? And who's your favorite artist?

27:05which one would you pick? There's a film that actually Sanjay Drath and my father did called

29:50Like people think it's true but it's not true. Okay. Lifting heavy weights makes you bulky.

31:13Social media following helps get movie roles. 100%. Okay. Listen there are actors out there who are

31:24extremely talented. I would say 10 times better than me also. Yeah. But when they

31:32let's not talk about movies. Let's talk about music videos. Now when a music label wants to take

31:37somebody for a music video, you know and I know that they go on the followers which is extremely sad

31:44because they're all amplified. Correct. I'm not saying that they're not a follower. They're a huge follower.

31:51But it's all amplified and the best don't get a chance because maybe they don't have the funds,

31:57the money to to pump their followers, you know. Watching your own movies feel great.
