From TV Superstar to Anurag Kashyap’s Kennedy | Rahul Bhat

Rahul Bhat joins Cyrus Broacha to talk about his unpredictable journey — from accidental modelling at 19 to overnight TV superstardom, a major film flop, and then disappearing for nearly 9 years.

In this candid conversation, Rahul opens up about:

• Winning Mr India “by mistake”

• Hina’s record-breaking TRPs

• His first big film failing

• The depression that followed

• Why he took a 9-year break to study world cinema

• Producing hit TV shows quietly

• How Anurag Kashyap cast him in Ugly without an audition

• The improvisation magic behind Gangs of Wasseypur & Ugly

• Becoming Kennedy — a ruthless insomniac cop

• Why cinema is a collaboration, not a solo art

From superstardom to reinvention, this is Rahul Bhat like you’ve never seen him.
