"Be who you are rather than what the world wants you to be," Pankaj Kapur on why his art matters so fiercely, and how he has made life and love bend to his will, with Shoma Chaudhury at Algebra, The Arts & Ideas Club, Gurugram on 24 March 2018.
Pankaj Kapur, arguably, the only actor of our time who has made virtually no concessions to commercial considerations - creating a body of work that is, each, an exemplar of great art, from Mandi; Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron; Mohan Joshi Haazir Ho to Raakh; Ek Doctor Ki Maut to Maqbool.
He worked in television when it was unfashionable and on the stage when it was unlucrative. He charted a cinematic trajectory of meaning, not reward. Some of his most memorable characters on television were in TV serials like Karamchand, Office Office and Zabaan Sambhalke.
He has won two national awards for acting so far. He is, of course, the father of actor Shahid Kapur.

Algebra takes the idea of a club - a universe of the likeminded - and expands it to new paradigms. The key idea behind Algebra is to bring together a fellowship of people who believe great cities are built not just on infrastructure but a life of the mind; who understand robust and liberal societies need the oxygen of great conversation and nuanced thinking. At a time when we are increasingly surrounded by rage and noise, Algebra is that unique live and continuous space where people could go for a genuine exchange of ideas and exposure to issues; where new seeds could be sparked, fresh perspectives formed, and intelligent connections made.
Algebra - the Arts and Ideas Club is designed to host over 60 conversations over the year with topline thinkers and practitioners from almost every discipline that impacts human affairs: politics, economy, environment, spirituality, cinema, medicine, science, technology, music, media, literature, the arts, sports, people’s movements, et al. In a line, Algebra is a space where one can meet an exciting, cutting-edge spectrum of people shaping the world in different ways. Where one can test one’s ideas, challenge one’s perspectives, and build friendships. A sort of fellowship of the curious and engaged.
Membership to Algebra is by invitation or referral. If you know an Algebra member, ask them to put you in touch with us.
