Among them were Manoj Bajpayee and Saurabh Shukla, who, like many others, moved to Mumbai with dreams in their eyes. Recently, Saurabh Shukla revisited those early days in Mumbai. In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, the actor recalled how he shared a rented apartment with Manoj Bajpayee and a rotating group of aspiring actors from Delhi. “We were living together, Manoj and I. We had rented a room and even paid the rent for an entire year in advance. The two of us were the main partners, and then whoever came from Delhi would just join us,” Saurabh said. He added that filmmaker Vijay Krishna Acharya, fondly called Victor, also moved in with them. “Victor is a very close friend. He was in Bombay at the time, so I told him, ‘Why are you living alone? Come stay with us.’ And he joined us too.” …

For actor Saurabh Shukla, who has been a part of the industry for more than two decades now, the idea of success has never been tied to expensive cars and more, a visible symbol that often dominates conversations around actors today. In an industry where perception can sometimes overshadow performance, he draws a clear, almost old-school distinction between personal choices and professional worth, insisting that the two should never be confused. Saurabh Shukla While he admits that he enjoys the finer things in life, he says they shouldn’t define him as an actor. “I love driving, I enjoy cars. I have a taste for expensive cars,” he says. “But I prefer not showing all that. I prefer to be known for my work, my talent. Whether I drive a certain car or not, whether I show it or don’t show it, that is not going to decide how good an actor I am. These are completely separate things,” he explains, pushing back against the growing tendency to equate lifestyle with success. “If you start believing …
New Delhi, Actor-director Saurabh Shukla says intimate stories, rooted in emotions just like his latest “Jab Khuli Kitaab”, will always have an audience base as he believes viewers respond to good content regardless of prevailing trends. Saurabh Shukla says intimate stories will never go away: ‘Life cannot be defined by just one colour’ Asked if the space for such stories in theatres is in danger due to the influx of larger than life cinema, Shukla said life cannot be defined by just one colour. “I believe that intimate stories, which are rooted in people and basic human emotions, are equally important. And I have a very firm belief that as long as human existence is there, as long as human species is alive, their basic quality is not going to change,” Shukla, known for his performances in films such as “Satya”, “Nayak”, “Barfi” and “PK” as well as “Jolly LLB” and “Raid” franchises, told PTI in an interview. “See, we can be driven by anger, we can be driven by a lot of things, violence …

The acquisition came after speculation over whether The Hundred teams owned by Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises will bid for Pakistani players or not, with the Leeds franchise being owned by Sun TV Network Limited, which also owns Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL. “Our domain is limited to the IPL.

It’s purely upto the franchise who have bough a team outside India. If they are taking some player outside India in that league, we are least concerned because, in IPL there is no such player,” Shukla told ANI on Friday.
