In this unfiltered conversation, Inaamulhaq opens up about his rollercoaster journey in Bollywood, from struggling for work to winning awards, and everything in between.

He talks about why he got so little work in 17 years, the cost of saying NO in the industry, and the sarcastic intro he once sent a casting director. Inaamulhaq also reveals the harsh reality of being an outsider, surviving without a PR team, and how he managed to stay afloat financially while rejecting projects.

The episode dives deep into why Bollywood is failing today, the formula trap most films are stuck in, and how the audience is constantly underestimated. Along the way, he shares personal stories, from his journey from Saharanpur to Mumbai, writing for TV, and his close bond with Kapil Sharma, to the label of being “just a co-actor” or even being mistaken for a Pakistani actor.

You’ll also hear how he felt winning Best Actor for Nakkash, what it was like pitching his script to Airlift’s director, and why he believes the industry needs a serious reality check.

This is an episode filled with honesty, struggles, humor, and heartfelt reflections, a must-watch for anyone who loves cinema.
