Taha Shah Badussha discusses emHeeramandi /emSeason 1 on Netflix in an interview.
The Big Picture Indian actor Taha Shah Badussha has waited over a decade for his breakthrough moment in the entertainment industry with a portfolio of appearances in supporting roles over the years. That was until he landed the most monumental opportunity in his career thus far — legendary director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Netflix historical drama Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar.
Release Date May 1, 2024 Cast Manisha Koirala , Sonakshi Sinha , Aditi Rao Hydari , Sharmin Segal , Sanjeeda Sheikh Main Genre Drama Seasons 1 Creator Sanjay Leela Bhansali COLLIDER: First of all, Heeramandi is absolutely incredible. I know you've heard this countless times, but genuinely it was so gripping because of the depth it has to it. You can't pull away because there are so many layers to the narrative. Tajdar is just the most endearing, relatable character.
Now the second call made me really nervous because in my life, whenever I used to get something or land a role, somebody would come and take it away from me. Somebody would recommend somebody else, or they would go to shoot without even telling me. I've been through it, so I thought the worst. So, when I got that call and they were like, “Sorry, Bhansali changed his mind,” I'm like, “Oh, man, my life sucks.” So I went up to him, and I just requested him.
Absolutely. Even when you were looking at the three-day role, you were going to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. You've got so much to learn, and there's so much you want to learn from somebody like that. What did you go in expecting to learn, or what did you actually take away from him in the end? BADUSSHA: My understanding of being an actor is that the better you know yourself, the better it is for you to be able to play someone else because then you know what you are and what you are not. So if I have to play somebody like Tajdar, I’m like, “Okay, what does Tajdar have?” I’ve had puppy loves; I'm a lover boy, so I think I've taken that from Tajdar. I can relate that with Tajdar.
BADUSSHA: I wouldn't say there's one moment. I would say that it's compounding. So all the naysayers, all the people who did not believe, all the people who insulted me or who have completely belittled me by saying, “You're crazy. There are so many people there. On what basis are you going to be selected to do anything? You're never going to be an actor.
When I was out of college, I was saying, “I'm the best.” But at that point in time, I had no skill. But over 15 years, I have invested so many hours in developing myself, not only in acting but also in dancing, also action, also fitness, also keeping as young as I possibly can, and building my connection. Everything is connected. That's what I'm saying. I'm unrealistic because that's the only thing that keeps me sane.
