Taha Shah Badusha, who impressed fans and critics with his role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film ‘Andhadhun’. Hiramandiis often compared to the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. In a recent interview, Taha spoke about his memories with Sushant and how he hopes to take his legacy forward. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Taha said, “I knew Sushant personally. I know what it’s like to come from the outside. I would like to take his legacy forward. People have actually messaged me and told me that I am their new Sushant. How amazing is that? Because I know how much love the audience gave him. I just hope to live up to these expectations.”
Recalling one of his meetings with Sushant Singh Rajput, Taha Shah Badusha said, “He was a very philosophical and intelligent person. He used to talk a lot about books, and I connect with him on that front. I didn’t spend much time with him; we would only talk at events and parties. When I met him, we talked about NASA. We also talked about ‘Kai Po Che’ as I was being considered for Amit Sadh’s role in the film, but I didn’t get the film because of the age difference.”
Earlier, in an interview with Film Companion, Taha spoke about the love he received overseas for his role in Hiramandi. He said, “I met some incredible people from Malaysia recently! They literally went crazy! Right before this interview, some girls went crazy. They were screaming, they weren’t saying anything! Suddenly I looked this way and they were saying something like, ‘Tajdar! Tajdar! Tajdar!’ After that, they went crazy and started crying.”
Taha Shah Badusha plays the role of Nawab Tajdar Baloch in the series. Hiramandi stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha and Sharmin Segal in pivotal roles.
