Society & Culture
India’s biggest casting director—MUKESH CHHABRA—finally sits with two girls who have zero acting talent, but plenty of questions. From calling Hansal Mehta his “father figure,” to navigating nepotism, discovering hidden talent, and dodging all the weird auditions (and weird people IN auditions), this is a side of Mukesh you don’t get to see often.
He spills on:
How actors REALLY get cast
His friendship with Sushant Singh Rajput
That one time he gave a chance that changed everything
The truth about the “casting couch”
This is heartfelt, hilarious, and humbling—and yes, we also asked him if WE could get cast. Spoiler: we probably won’t. Watch till the end for one of the most honest Bollywood convos out there.
