Ep. 46: Bhojan Karenge

Introduction to IVM Pop 

In the final episode of the season, we end it with a bang - standup comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi joins Gopal Datt to talk about his Pehla Pehlas! A man that looks at every hurdle and shrugs his shoulders and moves on - Bassis career is a very special one. Normal setbacks can be outlined with a heartfelt story or an inspirational quote but with Bassi, he looks at it through the eye of comedy, and not taking himself too seriously. 

We get him recounting his early days preparing and attempting IIT and UPSC, his realization that these were out of his reach and his pivot, almost on a whim, to standup comedy. His first open mic and how it was a crucial rejection that led him to record his first standup video that went viral. 

From then on not only has he put out great specials, he’s also appeared on KBC and starred in a movie. With regular people these would be stories of pride and achievement but once again Bassi approaches them with the lens of hte absurdity of human experience, a consistent comedy of errors and steadfast attempt to never take anything seriously. Make sure to watch the episode and tell us in the comments what your favourite part of the episode was

Pehla Open Mic, UPSC and IIT, working on a film and more | Anubhav Singh Bassi | Pehla Pehla with Gopal Datt 

In this candid and heartwarming episode of Pehla Pehla, host Gopal Datt welcomes his close friend, acclaimed actor and writer Sharib Hashmi, for a nostalgic trip tracing the roots of his remarkable Bollywood journey. Sharib opens up about his humble beginnings growing up in Malad, Malvani, sharing laugh-out-loud childhood memories ranging from dramatic ploys to skip school to earning his very first performance fee of ₹20 singing Kishore Kumar classics at a local bus stop. From visiting film sets where legend Dilip Kumar scooped him into his arms to navigating life as an extreme introvert who found confidence through theatre and music, the conversation highlights the quirks and foundational moments that quietly shaped his creative soul.

The discussion shifts behind the camera as Sharib recounts his unplanned transition into television writing for MTV, sharing hysterical behind-the-scenes escapades from the cult-favorite MTV Bakra and early directing assistant gigs. He reflects on the resilience required across years of struggling and auditioning, touching upon his breakthrough opportunity with Danny Boyle for Slumdog Millionaire and the battle fought by director Nitin Kakkar to cast him as the lead in Filmistaan despite industry resistance. Packed with warmth, self-deprecating humor, and deep personal insight, this episode offers an intimate masterclass in staying passionate and persevering against the odds in Indian cinema.
