The actor who chose stories over inheritance

Joining me today is Raunaq Kamdar, an actor who’s not just known for his roles, but for the quiet intensity and depth he brings to every frame.

This conversation isn’t just about fame or scripts. It’s about the craft. About what it really takes to bring characters to life, why writing is the soul of cinema, and how good films are made (and broken) by the clarity of emotion behind the scenes.

In this thoughtful and revealing episode, we spoke about:

Why “Nadi Dosh” changed everything for him
The heartbreak of projects that never saw the light of day
His honest take on Bollywood’s obsession with money
Why writing is the real soul of filmmaking
His decision to leave behind his father's architecture empire
Friendship, heartbreak, marriage and the lessons in between

If you’ve ever questioned your own path or wondered what it really takes to follow your heart, this episode is for you.
