Who is Rajit Kapur? The Only Actor To Have Played Modi, Nehru and Gandhi

In a conversation that felt like a dream, I sat down with the legendary actor Rajit Kapur. His name might not ring a bell, but his contribution to Hindi Cinema is nothing less than art. Whether it's his portrayal of detective Byomkesh Bakshi in the 90s TV series or his role as a father of the spy in the 2018 film Raazi, Rajit has never failed to impress his audience.

Rajit talks about it all, from being a perennial face in Shyam Benegal movies to adapting the ever-changing medium of acting. He shares his insights on the world of theatre, his current favourite play & his most memorable experience of watching other artists perform. From being nervous before every shot to the strength he derives from his co-actors, Rajit also sheds light on his life on the film sets.

Rajit gave me a peek into his travel diary, stories from his childhood and walked me through his life journey. But it doesn't end here. He left me with a song and that's all I needed to complete my #fan-boy moment (which was precisely the point of this whole Interview).
