What is the true purpose of art—beyond applause, beyond fame?
Can acting become a form of spiritual practice, a path to inner freedom?

In this rare and soul-deep conversation, host Sonia Choksi sits down with the profoundly respected and beloved actor Adil Hussain Sir, an artist known not only for his powerful roles in Life of Pi, Delhi Crime, English Vinglish, and Parched, but for the emotional integrity, humility, and spiritual depth he brings to every frame.

But Adil Sir is much more than an actor.
He is a seeker. A teacher. A vessel for truth.

Raised in Assam, shaped by the teachings of his mentor in Pondicherry, and rooted in silence and self-inquiry, Adil Sir views acting not merely as performance but as presence. For him, art is not a mirror of the world, but a bridge between souls, where empathy flows, masks fall, and beauty becomes revelation.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

• How roles like Mephistopheles and Othello became tools for inner transformation
  
  
• Why acting can become a meditative, even mystical, practice
  
  
• The sacred link between stillness, suffering, and creative expressio
  
  
• How cinema can heal both artist and audience
  
  
• The journey from identity to essence, and the evolution of the soul
  
  

💬 Reflecting on questions like:

"Who am I beyond my roles, my name, my gender?"
"Can art awaken a deeper truth within us all?"
"Is silence the most honest form of expression?"

Whether you're a filmmaker, a spiritual seeker, a creative soul, or simply someone trying to live more authentically, this episode will touch something deep within.

It’s not just a conversation about acting.
It’s a meditation on life itself.

Watch till the end for timeless insights on empathy, creativity, soul-conscious storytelling, and the deeper calling of an artist.

There is a reason why actors and artists are seen as different — they often experience life and humanity at a depth most of us overlook. This truth shines in our powerful conversation with Prakash Belawadi — acclaimed actor, director, and thinker, known for his roles in Tashkent Files, Kashmir Files, Pathaan, and many more but definitely the incredible 10 hr + play - Parva

In this episode, Prakash Belawadi ji talks about: Why the strong and wealthy must care for the poor, and what society loses when they don’t. The disturbing reality of Hindi being imposed as a “national” language, when it was only ever meant to be an official one under the Constitution. Why India cannot have one standard rule or authority for such a vast, diverse nation — and why diversity must be celebrated, not suppressed. His practical solution to India’s 50,000+ pending court cases and how systems can actually work better. The concept of the “Krishna Moment” — and what it truly means to be courageous. Why freedom is so difficult, yet impossible without rebuilding trust — everyone with everyone. This conversation is authentic, sharp, and deeply human. You’ll find reflections of your own life lessons in Prakash’s words — a reminder that wisdom often lies in seeing the world differently.

Key Takeaways from this video: The untold struggles of professional theater in Bangalore Why language divides India’s access to knowledge How colonial legacies shaped our systems of governance The truth about India’s cultural identity and resilience Why theater is not just art, but voice This is not just a conversation, it’s a journey through India’s soul.
