Rahul Bose is undoubtedly one of the most gifted and adaptable actors and directors in Bollywood. While he has been quite choosy when it comes to selecting films throughout his career, he has managed to leave a lasting impression with every character he portrays.

Known for films like Jhankaar Beats, Pyaar Ke Side Effects, Dil Dhadakne Do, and more, Rahul recently talked about the difference between art, actors, and stardom.

Rahul Bose on stardom

During an interview with Zoom, Rahul Bose shared his thoughts on stardom and said that people don't care about acting when someone is a star because they just want to see them on the big screen.

“You don't care whether they're playing a villager or whether they're playing an industrialist. You just want to see them. You don't care whether they're playing a cricketer or whether they're playing an aeronautical scientist. They just want to see them. You don't care how they act. You don't care. You just want to see them.” he said.

Adding more about how the charisma of a star works, he said, “The charisma of an actor when it becomes so strong that you only want to see them and you believe that you know them and you believe that you were linked in your previous life together, that is charisma. That's the stuff. Outside of that, everybody else is an actor with degrees of charisma. You know you can't be non charismatic. There are some very good actors who have zero charisma. They're not going to get very far. You know, there are some very bad actors who have lots of charisma. They'll get very far because cinema is a visual medium. You have to see it.”
