Whether he's been leading you to the most mouthwatering feasts in India in The Great Indian Rasoi, or charming contestants and viewers as the feisty judge on Masterchef India, or sharing rare recipes on his YouTube channel, Chef Ranveer Brar's face is by now a familiar presence.

And yet, the 'Food Sufi', as he calls himself, is now following his soul down a different path. In 2022, we saw him essaying an LGBTQ+ character in the Modern Love Mumbai anthology on Amazon Prime. Now he's gone full-on Bollywood, playing one of the leads in The Buckingham Murders opposite Kareena Kapoor. "The response has been outstanding. A lot of people who watched it were surprised to see me there. Since then, I've got calls from a lot of senior directors and film critics, which is heartwarming. But what really stood out for me was that my mom wouldn't get off the seat in the auditorium after the movie!" Needless to say, Brar is visibly chuffed.
