Star kids may get a head start in Bollywood, but ultimately, it's their talent that has to speak for itself.
Mithun Chakraborty's younger son Namashi is aware of his privilege and feels he can pave his way in the 'ruthless' and 'heartless' industry that Bollywood is.
Ahead of Bad Boy's release, Namashi tells "I have to be seen, heard, and experienced as a newcomer because I'm a 30-year-old man making his debut."
How did you prepare for your debut film?
Whatever you saw in the trailer, whatever you are going to see in the film, is all Rajkumar Santoshi.
I have imitated my director.
He used to act and I used to copy.
If I look effortless, if I look good, the entire credit goes to my director, who didn't leave any stone unturned. That man is a genius.
Your Instagram bio says: Live to Act. What is your equation with acting?
The problem with me is that I can't think of anything else but acting.
Bachpan se hi mujhe actor banne ka shauk tha.
My mother (Yogita Bali) tells me you were camera ready as soon as you came out of my womb. You were waiting for the clap to happen.
I am a born actor.
I'm obsessed with the world of acting.
I genuinely feel that the magic of movies and acting is so inspiring in every way that we can have an endless conversation about this.
I always wanted to act. I had no other plans in life.
Does the tag of 'Mithun Chakraborty's son' come with added pressure?
I look at it as pressure, but also a privilege.
I hope people watch me for who I am, not for who my father is.
If they watch me as a newcomer, I can assure them they won't be disappointed.
