In this episode of Guftugu, Adarsh Gourav opens up about the road from My Name Is Khan to The White Tiger, the performance that brought him global attention and award nominations.

He talks about growing up with music in Jamshedpur, moving to Mumbai, discovering acting later than expected, and building his craft through theatre, training, auditions, and relentless observation.

Adarsh shares behind-the-scenes stories from his early career, his preparation for playing Balram Halwai, and the mindset that shaped his work across Hostel Daze, Guns & Gulaabs, and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan.

Along the way, he speaks about music, acting teachers, inspiring filmmakers, and why learning never really stops for a performer.
