“Aamir Khan ne mujhe Baap bana diya!” says the 'Taare Zameen Par' star Vipin Sharma.

Vipin Sharma — NSD alumnus, editor-turned-actor, and the man behind memorable scenes in Taare Zameen Par, Gangs of Wasseypur and Raman Raghav — sits down with Cyrus to tell the true story of leaving acting, retraining abroad, and the audition that changed everything.

In this episode Vipin talks about:

Growing up in Delhi and the moment he realised he wanted to be on screen.

NSD, his “golden” batch and the early struggles after graduation.

A 10-year break, studying Meisner in Toronto and how he found acting again.

The Taare Zameen Par audition — how he got the father role.

Working with Anurag Kashyap and why directors sometimes create moments that become you.

His thoughts on cinema’s power (and its limits) — plus what’s next: acting, directing and more.
