00:00So, we are going to dig out all your secrets.
00:02I have mostly hidden them.
00:04Do you think you are an easy partner to be with me?
00:07If you ask any of my exes, then of course they will say that no.
00:09I think we should go here.
00:14Are you single or not?
00:16No.
00:17I didn't imagine that I would go to IIT.
00:19I would get a theatre in IIT.
00:21Then I would do something like that.
00:23I would sit in the movie for 20 years.
00:25I would say that it was unimaginable.
00:26Wow, wow, wow.
00:27I would say that I would do something like that.
00:28I would say that I would do something like that.
00:30I would say that I would do something like that.
00:35Today we are at Amol Parashra's Natural Habitat.
00:38At his house.
00:39Now Amol, you've actually become a fan favourite after TVF triplings.
00:45And also picked up the title of National Crush.
00:47Thanks to you only.
00:49Today we are at your house and we are going to dig out all your secrets.
00:53I have mostly hidden them.
00:54But let's see.
00:56They were hidden in the temple.
00:57They were hidden in the temple.
00:59Yes.
00:59So let's start from your fridge.
01:01From my fridge?
01:02Yes.
01:02Oh damn.
01:03I want to see what is it that you are eating next.
01:05Everyone is hidden in the fridge.
01:07So yeah.
01:08Come, let's check out the fridge.
01:29Let's open it.
01:35I think I can't contain my excitement.
01:37Nothing is exciting.
01:38Nothing is exciting.
01:38Nothing is exciting.
01:39I am eating now.
01:39Mostly this.
01:41Wine to bottle.
01:42Wine to bottle.
01:43Wine to bottle.
01:43It's a beer.
01:45There are some vegetables.
01:47See, if you eat for one person and someone is going to eat it.
01:49What will I do?
01:50It will save us.
01:50If you don't eat it.
01:52If you have chocolate.
01:54Dark chocolate.
01:54Dark chocolate.
01:55I have chocolate totally has a brick.
01:57If you don't eat it.
01:58What do you have dark chocolate with?
01:59In my darkness.
02:00In the morning when you get up, you open it to get your milk, what do you do? You make
02:03a tea or a coffee?
02:04I usually have coffee. Chocolate flavour coffee bhi hai. If you want to try.
02:09So, you are a coffee person still?
02:10I am a coffee person.
02:11So, you are wearing dark brooding personality today with a leather jacket.
02:14Yeah, black coats, black coffee, dark chocolate.
02:17And now, rustling a cup of coffee.
02:19So, now, you know, national crush toh purana title hoga.
02:23Mujhe bhi lakta hai.
02:24I think you are also done with it.
02:25Now, you want to be the black cat boyfriend.
02:29Okay, sure.
02:30It is the black cat energy, right?
02:32What is the black cat energy?
02:33What is the black cat energy?
02:34Like the powerful, intense, bing type.
02:39I don't know about powerful, intense and brooding but...
02:41Chocolate lover boy to basically the other end of this.
02:44So, I have to be serious for that?
02:45Yeah.
02:46Like your rolls.
02:48I will try it.
02:48So, this is a drink.
02:49So, you are a drink.
02:51Okay, you have black coffee.
02:53Yes, I drink black coffee.
02:54I don't drink milk.
02:55I don't drink milk.
02:56So, you know that guests are coming.
02:59So, you are a drink.
03:00So, you are a drink.
03:00Because you can't make a drink.
03:02So, any black cat energy in your upcoming roles?
03:06Oh, I am just learning what black cat energy is from you.
03:10But, yeah, I am doing a show called The Bureaucrat.
03:15We can speak a little bit about that.
03:17He is a little bit.
03:18Because he is a kind of a clever, a little too clever.
03:24He gives everyone a chakma.
03:25He is the kind of officer.
03:27You know, when you, for many people, the point of discovery of you as an actor was TVF AAA.
03:34Do you still resonate deeply with DJ Chitwan?
03:37Yeah, of course.
03:39I mean, Chitwan, I did three seasons, not just one season.
03:43So, I have spent 90 days, 100 days with that character.
03:51And, when I think, when something has a big impact on your life,
03:55you can still stay with me.
03:57So, I remember even, in fact, season 1,
03:59I thought that I was a little chill.
04:01So, that, I think, that was a positive thing that I took from that character.
04:06That you become a little lighter.
04:07Which is why he is attractive to so many people.
04:10Even for girls, like, wow, wow, wow, what a guy.
04:12That is difficult to be in real life in real life.
04:13That's how I tell people.
04:21So, actually, if Chitwan was your boyfriend, I think it will be a problem.
04:25It will be a big problem.
04:27Do you think you are an easy partner to be with?
04:31Depends on who you ask.
04:33If you ask any of my exes, then, of course, they'll say,
04:35no.
04:36Because it didn't work out.
04:37So, if your mouth is bad, it won't happen.
04:40So, it won't happen.
04:41But, I think I'm okay.
04:44I've done a little research on this mom.
04:46What are your pros and cons?
04:47What are my pros and cons?
04:49Interesting question.
04:52I think, first, it was a con that I was a little bit like Chitwan.
04:56I was also a younger.
04:57She is now going on a job.
04:59She is now going on a job.
05:00She is now going on a job.
05:00She is now going on a job.
05:00She is now going on a job.
05:01I didn't consult.
05:03I didn't tell her.
05:05I didn't tell her.
05:06I didn't tell her.
05:08I didn't tell her.
05:08I didn't even tell her.
05:09I was like 21, 22.
05:11But, I thought, man, this is my life.
05:13I will decide.
05:14Why would I ask someone to ask someone?
05:15I don't know.
05:16I understand.
05:16You feel, Abina, my life will be a lot of connections.
05:19But then, you later realize, like people said, connections come at few points.
05:22Correct.
05:24And even if, after a point, you think that hopping is not probably…
05:28It's vicious.
05:29When will you do it?
05:31And energy feels like meeting new people, creating a bond.
05:36And every time, energy feels like anxiety.
05:39So, how much do you revision all the time?
05:42In my childhood?
05:43I'm here.
05:44I'm here.
05:44I'm here.
05:45You have to open a book every time.
05:49So, I think after a point, you try as much as possible.
05:52Not to do that.
05:54What is your phase of mind right now?
05:56Are you single?
05:56Dating?
05:57I think we should go from here.
06:01I'm sitting.
06:04Coming to your personal life now, you can choose to answer like Chitwan or be yourself.
06:07What do you know?
06:08Correct.
06:09Are you single or not?
06:10No.
06:12What is the first quality you look for in a partner?
06:17Intelligence and a sense of humor.
06:19Would you like a coffee date or a long drive?
06:21I mean, I like long drives.
06:23But in Bombay, it becomes a bit difficult.
06:26It's not practical.
06:27It will be very long.
06:28If you leave from home and sit in traffic, it becomes a very long drive.
06:32But yeah, I do like driving.
06:34And I like coffee also.
06:36So, either.
06:37Either is work.
06:38Whatever works for the other person.
06:39And how up-to-date are you with the latest Gen Z lingua?
06:42I don't know.
06:43I think I am.
06:44I think I am.
06:44Then let's try.
06:45Let's try.
06:45What is breadcrumbing?
06:47Breadcrumbing is what we call Hindi.
06:50Orbiting.
06:51Orbiting, I am assuming, is kind of like that you are walking around but actually I am not making a
06:58move.
06:59Beige flag.
07:00What is a beige flag?
07:01I guess red or green.
07:03Yes, I am.
07:05Man kala wala.
07:07Are you in a romantic phase of mine?
07:09I am not monkey branching.
07:10I am not breadcrumbing.
07:12I can tell you what I am not doing.
07:14And what was the other thing?
07:16Beige flagging bhi nahi ka kao mein.
07:17And are you perched on one branch?
07:19Yeah, maybe.
07:20Maybe that's what it is.
07:21Yeah.
07:22I am a stable monkey.
07:25Finally, I don't know about this in life.
07:27But for now.
07:29One thing fans don't know about you.
07:31Maybe there's a reason they don't know yet.
07:34But what do they not know?
07:35They all know.
07:35They all have to do it.
07:36They all have to do it.
07:37In fact, I am surprised that this is not on Google.
07:39How do they know about you?
07:40I can't think of anything.
07:43I can't think of anything.
07:46I think because of IIT, IIT ki baat hoti hai.
07:48Some people assume that I didn't finish.
07:51Like drop out.
07:52Like so.
07:53But you finished.
07:54I didn't drop out.
07:55I finished four years.
07:56I worked also for a year.
07:57Were you right there?
07:57Right.
07:57So I have a deal.
07:59Bank parah khub.
08:00But fail nahi wa thankfully.
08:01IIT jasih jaghe mein ye ek rule hai.
08:04Ya ek tratha chalti aai hai.
08:06Ki jo bhi dramatics club mein bahut zyada active ho ta.
08:08Us ka ek naaik course to phil ho ta hiya chaar saaz mein.
08:10Yeh toh maine imagine nahi kiya tha ki mein IIT jahun ga.
08:13IIT mein mujhe teater mile ga.
08:14And phir wahaan seh mein aisa kuch karke.
08:16Yeh toh maine baat haun ga bish saal baad apko intervie de rahaun ga.
08:19Yeh toh maatlab unimaginable tha.
08:21So when you entered the industry.
08:23What did you have in mind?
08:24What was the epitome you saw yourself?
08:26Yeah actually mein toh much bhi nahi ta.
08:27Maath a very honest answer.
08:29Because mein theater karta ta ta.
08:30Mombe yaan se pahle.
08:32Or.
08:33Mombe yaane ka reason bhi theater ta.
08:35Toh yeh sapne tha hi nahi ki mein TV mein aungga.
08:37Mein filmo mein aungga.
08:38Yeh sochke mein nahi aya ta.
08:39Like drop here or whatever.
08:42And you know up you are 21, 22.
08:44You think ki abhi mein kar sata hon.
08:45So.
08:46It was more like a sabbatical.
08:47In my head.
08:48Right.
08:49Am mein toh.
08:50Mujhe toh eheh gal jata samujhata.
08:51Yeh toh socha bhi nahi da.
08:52Yeh toh meh karne bhi nahi aya ta.
08:53Yeh toh meh karne bhi nahi aya ta.
08:53Yeh toh yeh kya masti karna haun.
08:55Yeh even my IT friend specially.
08:57Unko doh bhot maza aata hai na.
08:58Yaar.
08:59Ham meinse ek banda matala.
09:00Aane man ka kar raha hai.
09:02So I think they feel more proud of me.
09:03Than I feel proud of myself.
09:05Now that you are part of the industry you know in 2026.
09:08People say okay on one front.
09:10With OTT it's also a new experience.
09:13But what is it that you miss about the industry back in the days?
09:17Nahi nahi nahi ma'am.
09:18It is much better with OTT I think.
09:19Because specially for people like me.
09:21Aap hero toh kohi nahi bana raha haa apko.
09:23At least at that time.
09:24Because there was a template.
09:25Mujhe loko dhe seh body bana lo.
09:27Aps bana lo.
09:27Yeh kar lo.
09:28Thode ap chayin chaur hoote toho.
09:30And jo bhi.
09:31So because there was a fixed thing ki yaar.
09:33Filmo mein.
09:34Filmo ka ek prototipe hai.
09:35Protagonist ka ek prototipe hai.
09:36So the opportunities were very less.
09:39For people like me.
09:40Who looked a certain way.
09:41Or who you know.
09:42Didn't have access.
09:43Ya koi.
09:44Aap chissi ko nahi jaante ho.
09:45Khoom ap pe koi.
09:47Pandhraas koro lagaye ga.
09:48Life is.
09:49Much much better.
09:50Thanks to OTT.
09:51Than it would have been.
09:52Do you see yourself being an actor forever?
09:55Maybe not.
09:56Maybe not.
09:56I do love acting.
09:58As of now.
09:59Sabse aada piaar mujhe acting se hai.
10:00But mujhe maza aata hai.
10:01Dousri cheezo me bhi.
10:02Mujhe writing me maza aata hai.
10:04Mane naatak bhi direct kiya hai.
10:06Hopefully.
10:07Tarun ga shayad.
10:09Abhi nahi.
10:09Abhi acting ke dukhan achi chal rahi hai.
10:11Toh mein chaatau ki usko achhe se.
10:12Usko achhe se juice kiya jai.
10:14But chote level pe mein kar lieta ho.
10:16I am doing a live show.
10:17I have produced a live show.
10:19Jaha mein khud act kar raha ho.
10:21Show ends a one man show.
10:22Mere paus itne paise ni hai ki mein film bana do.
10:24But itne hai ki mein naatak bana sakta ho.
10:26But upcoming films anything?
10:29Shows hai mostly.
10:30Shows hai mostly.
10:32There were one two films.
10:33Jo Ani thi.
10:34But ab aarli nahi hai hai.
10:36Toh mein nahi bolna hi band kar diya.
10:38Shayad mere bolne ki wajay se nazar lag rahi hoi.
10:40Film do saal se bani hui hai.
10:43Aya hamde do saal pelle shoot ki tihi actually.
10:44What do you think is the biggest challenge the industry is facing right now?
10:48Nahi.
10:48Mai bol raha ho ki hum zavardastti isko tough holta hai.
10:51Zavardastti isko suffering bolta hai.
10:52Ye aise hi rahi hai hamishha se.
10:54When you bet on stories, not every story will work.
10:57In the 90's, if you open IMDb,
10:59a year will be released 300 films in the year.
11:01You will not remember 290.
11:04Maybe what happens is that the film is not happening in one way.
11:07Love stories are not happening.
11:10But if you want romcom?
11:11People are getting a good romcom.
11:13But they're not happening.
11:13But romcom is coming and people don't want to watch it.
11:15In a way, Lapata Ladies also was kind of a…
11:18There were some romcom elements.
11:19But you went to the theater.
11:21I'm asking people to ask you.
11:22I'm not asking you.
11:23So, I go by facts.
11:25I'm an engineer.
11:26Would you want to be a romcom hero or an action hero?
11:28I want to be both.
11:30But I think people will probably give me the first romcom,
11:34and then they will give me the action.
11:35And lastly, how did you break the string of that guitar?
11:40I'm playing some sad songs.
11:42Although, I started learning in lockdown.
11:45And when the lockdown was done,
11:48then it was stuck again.
11:49From becoming a cult favourite on TVF's tripling,
11:52to the national crush and now a bureaucrat,
11:55that's Amol Parashar's journey for you.
11:57I'm Shreya.
11:58This is Boozhi.
11:59And you're watching Amol only on…
12:01On na.
12:01More of everything Baba.
12:03grasped up a lot longer.
12:08As a Lamborghini andก
12:08back image. Bye!
12:08be right back for that a little bit now. No!
12:11What if
