CLASS ACT: Gajraj Rao with Rajeev Masand | Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan | Badhaai Ho 

The interview we all wanted!

Badhai ho is cool, but i think his big break through was from tvf as "Jeetu ke papa" love this guy.

The class act title has been appropriately suited to personalities like this man. Take a bow sir.

Badhai ho was definitely the turning point, but I think TVF also played a major role in bringing him closer to us.

I loved his role as Jeetu K papa. That trumps over everything, this guy and Jeetu deserve more success.

I mean what is there to dislike.. who are these 7 frustrated people man! It was so nice listening to Gajraj ji

Real actors have a lot of dimensions to talk about art rather than just talking what's going on trend? How you handle stardum?how you handle paparazzi?and blaa blah blah..... Just talk about art.. like this episode.

He has such a child like innocence.. I love him man.. such a lovely interview man ❤️❤️

Just finished 7 minutes of the interview and couldn't resist to comment, he is so articulate and intelligent. No doubt he has gained so much recognition and love, just amazing.

23:30 Beautifully explained. Work hard towards your goal and stop waiting for some miracle to change your life. I think calling someone's success an "Overnight Success" is an insult to the person's commitment and hard work. Success doesn't come overnight rather it's a consequence of hard work and dedication over countless nights. Thanks Rajeev for this enlightening interview with such a humble and terrific actor.

Dislikers are the ones who only come to see the exotic food on the table which was missing in this interview 😂😂🤣 🤣

One of the finest actors. The purity in his soul and efforts is reflected in each character he performs, from TVF to Badhai Ho. More power to you sir. :)

Gajraj rao's breakout performance was with TVF

Respect to Rajeev Masand for showing so much respect to Gajraj Rao. And yes it is adtalis, but he usually doesn’t take interviews in Hindi. Not even sure if that is his first language. He is conciously trying to speak Hindi as the person he is talking to is comfortable in Hindi.

36:56 tear dropped from Rajeev’s eyes.. it says it all how valuable the conversation for him.. Gajraj sir this interview wasn’t just about movies it’s about how one should live the life and so much excitement in you... Have no words to appreciate this person...

Wow he’s younger than Srk etc

What a brilliant interview. So much respect for Gahrajji. Really good questions Rajeev seriously well done

He won my heart all over again .... He's amazingly talented and happy that out films now give equal platforms to all types of story telling and actors.

Jeetu k pappa: America ka lower house ko congress kehte hai.. Toh upper house ko kya kehte hai? *BJP* Hahaha Jeetu: 😑😑😑😑

I remember watching him for the first time the late 90s. Not sure if it was Bhanwar or India’s most wanted, where he played the role of a paedophile. It was one of the most intense performances I had seen. I knew he was better than playing small roles. Hard work definitely pays. Edit: I believe TVF gave him actual break

I dont know why m crying after listening to him..i think its the purity of his soul and his journey 😊😊

Gajraj ji is a terrific actor..loved him since tvf days..finally getting his due 🤗

Two most favorite people and two people i don't ever get bored listening to are This man and Pankaj Thripati ❤️ Such wonderful actors and human beings.

Watch his performance in Bang Baja Bharaat on youtube! Its amazing, great actor!!

A quick advice : Start a podcast and bring all these people there and have hour long or even longer conversations where there is no fixed format and time restriction . Post the video part on youtube or not but have the audio format on all major platforms. Because if anyone in bollywood can bring all these people together , it's you . A new guy will not have access to all these good actors. That podcast will be a sure shot success !!

Sir aapko mai TVF k videos se dekh rahi hu..different characters play karte hue..tab se aap mere favourite ban gye hai..behtareen hai aap...u r perfect for CLASS ACT.👏👏👏👏👏👏

Wonderful interview Rajeev..... somehow I find interviews of so-called supporting actors better than those of stars :)

His actual breakout was his Flipkart ad in TVF with Jeetu

This is pure CLASS! Rajeev: i adore you anyways and now even more. Thanks for bringing this to us

Love these interviews. Please do more of them Rajeev. I loved Rao saab's performances before this interview but I fell in love with him after watching this. Keep up the great work.

Salman khan se chhote Hain gajraj sir😲

What a performer he is.....class act indeed 👏👏

I guess the Best thing that happened to Indian Cinema is the Success of Ayushman Khurana Cinema. It brought in the Best of Supporting cast talents who ended up shining way Brighter than the main lead, Nina G, Seema G ... Pankaj Sir and Gajraj G. are a few examples. But what we discovered in the process is that ... what makes them such a great performer is the purity of their souls. They are such wonderful people to know, hear, love and follow. Thanks a lot Rajiv Sir for bringing it to us, this in it self is a CLASS ACT.

Gajraj sir thanks for this valuable interview ..... learnt do many things from you

Such a humble and honest person! An absolute treat to watch him. He expresses his life journey with so much grace and holds zero qualms for the rest of world.

Thank you Rajeev Masand Ji for organising these shows. Truly the name is ... Class Act.. hum asha karenge agey bhi aise kalakaron ko aap apne show mein bulaye. Aur humein in kalakaro sunne ko mauka de. All the best to the entire team to make this show a success.

Shoot this whole interview is Hindi, 😭 and there are no subtitles. I'm pained

This is the interview we have always wanted!! What a character man! Gajraj sir has always been a classic actor throughout his acting career. I have watched bandit queen and saw him there for the very first time back in ‘09. He has been genuinely working in Aks, dil se and very recently BHB and upcoming SMZS New gem bollywood has re-found like boman irani at the age of 45-48 Totally loved the kind of roles he has been choosing recently!

This interview was one of the best conducted by Rajeev... I was a fan was gajraj ji but didn't know his back story. This was the most profound interview.

brilliant actor, so effortless. class act indeed. respect sir!

"I benefitted from this interview.." u earned a fan today Rajeev..good work 👍

Absolutely love Rajeev for this!

Not many might know how awesome he was as a ruthless villan in Aamir.

Such warmth in his eyes!

I really loved him In Black Friday, what a character that was, really awesome actor, Dawoood Fansey 😝

हिंदी में इंटरव्यू सुनकर मज़ा आ गया।

He is 48 & Aamir Khan is 55?!?! Is that (everlasting youth) what success & money brings along?

Gajraj Rao is a real fantastic actor. We watched many excellent performances ... Truly lovely artist🎨🎭

I have never seen a man half as good as him. He made me speechless. 😲

KJo, YRF, and big houses should learn from Anand Rai. Stories don’t depend on designer clothing n sets, it depends on screenplay and interplay of characters.

He is an amazing actor. One of the best interviews of Rajeev. Mr. Gajraj Rao is the best..keep up the good work Sir..you are too good..

Adchalis is a word 😂😂😂 I didn’t know

He is a man with great experiences of life and directed his lows in a positive manner without stretching out for no reason.......

He's fab!!!!! He makes for such a cute dad hehe 💜❤

Rajeev, extremely well done and great questions!

Hi Rajeev, another wonderful interview and a great insight into the person behind the talented actor that is Gajraj ji. So thank you for that. Would be great if you could do a special round table with Gajraj Rao, Manoj Pawa, Kumud Mishra, Pankaj Tripathi, Manu Rishi, Vijay Raaz.... Im sure You get the pattern of what im trying to ask.. would be a massive feather in your cap if you can manage to pull it off.. and I'm pretty sure you can.

So glad that Gajraj ji has finally found a place.. He is a class act. Hope to see him more often on screen with exciting roles.

What a fantastic interview !! Thanks a lot Rajeev for this.. Mr. Gajraj Rao is a bit younger to me but the struggles he faced, the obstacles he overcame and the success he eventually achieved, made him, I'm happy to admit, far more matured and bigger than me.. and made me his fan. Beautiful session indeed !

One of the best interviews of your show and one of the most genuine actors we discovered, Mr. Gajraaj Rao.

One of the best and purest conversations of class act series and overall Rajeev’s interviews

How can he be so humble and down to earth 😧 unbelievable 💯💚

Waiting for this for so long Rajeev Sir! 😇

Such a wonderful human being Gajaraj ji is! May he have more success and joy in his life!

Bahut hi behtareen.....the attitude probably sums it up for gajraj sir...that khet story of his grandfather says alot about things as our (lower and middle) middle class section of our country..alot to learn.. #rajeevmasand #classact #gajrajsir

He'd be such a good dad. No wonder we all love him for that specific role since his breakthrough.

What a fantastic actor . Gajraj ji, I loved you performance in badhayion... I still remeber your roll from Amir movie.. single person role in entire movie...

Beautiful interview...can listen to Gajraj sir all day....

He was brilliant in Lootcase.

@Rajeev SIr, Can you please do Round table show with Pankaj Tripathi, Gajraj Rao, Rajesh Sharma, Manu Rishi, and none other than Asrani?

Brilliant.. And Effortless Actor..

Even Being from UP till now I didn't know... That adhchalis is a word...😆😆

I see Gajraj Sir n clicked like 👍🏻 Authenticity bhi koi cheez hai, bhai ! Shukriya.

Gajraj rao is so sweet and chill

Really a man of class act

Enjoyed the whole interview but I think I fell a little in love with him at the end. It doesn't happend often that an interview makes you smile.Such a wonderful human being. Much love to you sir. ❤❤❤

These are the actors the newer actors need to look up to. SRK, Salman & Akshay are not role models for actors at all - if one wants to be just a star, then maybe.

His analogies are so great!! That's why he is an Ad film maker

Can't even imagine ki Gajraj sir bs 48 ke hain!! Isse bade to salman srk amir Akshay even Hrithik is somewhere around 45. Edit: Rajeev sir ne bhi yahi baat bol di around 32:00

What an absolute gem Gajrajji is! And Rajeev Masand always asks just the right questions. Atiqa Farooqui, Anupama Chopra and Rajeev Masand, 3 people who do a great job of interviewing film personalities, in my opinion .

I have known him since his role in movie Amir. Guys, if you want to know the versatility of this actor, do watch this movie.

Very intelligent man and a fine actor, Gajraj Rao!!

Such a lovely talk ❤ he was superb in Talvar too!

I didnt know where the half an hour went by. Lovely conversation.

Did Gajraj ji wipe his tears while narrating story bot his father n bullock n his grand mother?

Was Gajaraj in Kamal Hassan’s Pushpak? The unsuspecting chap that picks up the gift-wrapped stool?

Wow, what a thoughtful actor, all the new actors should learn, and all the famous "DUMB" headed actors who know nothing about acting should definitely learn. His insight into a character is so good.

This is the type of person worth listening to. Unlike entitled star kids.

No not badhai ho...tvf fans knw nd love him much b4... conversation with dad..Rd Sharma..nd many more

I Wish I Had 100 Like Buttons ♥️

Great interview.Gajrajji you are so humble.I had tears in my eyes while listening to the struggles of your father.

another interview you may want to watch www.filmcompanion.in/tvfs-jitendra-kumar-on-the-origins-of-his-character-jeetu-bhaiya/

Yeahhh😎🤩🤩....this is my first reaction 👍😬

Logo ne inhe badhai ho ke baad recognize kiya ho magar hum to inhe Web series se hi sarahte aa rahe hai.

What a humble person. His acting is so real and through this interview we came to know that how genuine and loving person he is. Thank you Rajeev Sir for this treat.

Such a humble and honest man and an equally incredible actor. Just loved Masand Sir's choice to interview him. ♥️

Gajraj ji is a Class Act.

Please add subtitles. Would really mean a lot for those who don't understand the language

I first saw him in *Bang Baja Baarat* and honestly I knew he was good but couldn't recognise him. So glad he is getting his due now..!

Such a pleasurable watch! Please don’t pollute your channel with the likes of Sonam Kapoor etc.

What a different way to look at life! Thank you Gajraj ji for this lessons. I felt positive and happy after watching this.
