Скачать или смотреть Jay Thakkar on TMKOC Rejection, Gutur Gu, 500+ Ads, Sushant, SRK & Child Actor Struggles | UT EP121

Join us for the 121st episode of Digital Commentary’s Unfolding Talents podcast featuring Jay Thakkar, a talented actor who has worked in more than 500 ad films, daily soaps like Gutur Gu and Life OK’s Hatim, as well as web shows and movies like Dream Girl, UP65, Bhool Chuk Maaf, Kapkapiii, Gullak, and many more.

In this episode, Jay shares his journey of starting auditions at the age of just 4 and facing constant rejection for almost two years. He recalls how a Kotak Mahindra Bank advertisement went viral and became the turning point that led him to the role in Gutur Gu. Jay also talks about the challenge of playing an 86-year-old character as a child artist and the experience of working in more than 500 ad films, where rejection was often a part of the process.

The conversation takes a serious turn as Jay opens up about the reality of child actors, including how parents push their children to act perfectly, sometimes using harsh methods to make them memorize dialogues. He also shares his thoughts on how even child actors face the insider versus outsider bias in the industry.

Did you know Jay has worked with Sushant Singh Rajput? He recalls how Sushant used to eat his tiffin on the set of Pavitra Rishta because he missed home. Jay also reveals that he was almost finalized for the role of Tappu in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah.

Watch the full podcast as Jay talks about his fun experience of working with Rajkummar Rao in Bhool Chuk Maaf and meeting Shah Rukh Khan while working on a Red Chillies show. This episode is a must-watch if the Glucon-D and Bingo Tedhe Medhe ads still feel like a wave of nostalgia for you.
