In today’s episode, we have Arshad Warsi, one of India’s most talented and loved actors, the face behind unforgettable characters like Circuit, Jolly LLB, and Adi from Dhamaal. But behind the laughter and effortless charm lies a story of grit, loss, and relentless perseverance.
In this conversation, Arshad opens up like never before; about losing both parents early, growing up in a boarding school, and fighting through years of struggle before finding his place in Bollywood.

He talks about how success once made him arrogant, how failure brought him clarity, and why he believes his kids won’t face the same pressures that star kids like Aryan Khan do. He also shares why he’s never auditioned for any film, not even Munna Bhai MBBS or Golmaal, and how staying true to himself has been his biggest strength.

In the final segment, Arshad reflects on love, marriage, and what fame really means after decades in the industry. From Jeetendra’s life-changing advice to Shah Rukh Khan’s unmatched consistency, this episode captures the honesty, humility, and resilience of a man who’s seen every phase of fame.
