Randeep Hooda

The hero is changing in Bollywood, and I approach a hero's role like a character by focusing on its weaknesses. I feel the weaknesses of a character make them more alive, relatable, and human.

As human beings, we are all flawed. And just like there is a good side, there is also a bad side waiting to find its way out.

I didn't allow failure to break my heart. So I wouldn't allow success to bloat my head.

After all, we are not French and never can be, and any attempt to be so is to deny our inheritance and to try to impose upon ourselves a character that can be nothing but a veneer upon the surface.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
