Amol Parashar says 'strong theatre culture' is London's crown jewel

Actor Amol Parashar credits London's theatre culture for the phenomenal response to his live show 'Besharam Aadmi', opening doors for a global tour.

"Bringing it to London has been a special experience. It's a city with a strong theatre culture. - Amol Parashar"

Mumbai, April 19

Actor Amol Parashar, who recently took his live show 'Besharam Aadmi' to London, has credited the city's strong theatre culture for the phenomenal response to the show.

He said, "'Besharam Aadmi' has grown into a very personal journey over the past year. We've performed around 26 shows across India, and going back on stage with a one-man act has been something I've wanted to do for a long time. The response we received made it feel like the right time to take the show beyond India".

He further mentioned, "Bringing it to London has been a special experience. It's a city with a strong theatre culture, and seeing Hindi-speaking audiences here connect with the show the way they have has been incredibly encouraging. The response has gone beyond what we expected and has opened up the possibility of taking 'Besharam Aadmi' to more cities globally".

'Besharam Aadmi' is a sharp, quirky talk-show-style series fronted by Amol Parashar. The show is known for his effortless charm and offbeat humor. It flips the conventional interview format on its head, leaning into awkward honesty, playful irreverence, and a refreshing lack of filters, true to its title, which loosely translates to "shameless man".

The show thrives on spontaneous moments, self-deprecating humor, and unexpected revelations. Its minimalist setup keeps the focus squarely on personality and chemistry, making each episode feel intimate and unpredictable. What sets 'Besharam Aadmi' apart is its refusal to take itself too seriously, while still offering genuine insight into the lives and quirks of its guests. It's a breezy, modern take on celebrity interaction, appealing to audiences tired of formulaic talk shows.

This is fantastic. We have incredible theatre talent in India too—Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore. Hope this success encourages more investment in our own theatre infrastructure. The diaspora audience is great, but let's also build stronger cultures at home.

Saw the show in Delhi! Amol is brilliant live. His timing and that "awkward honesty" he talks about is what makes it special. Glad London audiences appreciated it. The format is very modern and relatable for our generation.

Interesting read. As someone who has lived in both places, London's institutional support for theatre is unmatched. Indian performers bring such raw energy and new narratives. This crossover is the future of global arts.

While I'm happy for his success, I do hope the show doesn't lose its essential Indianness while catering to a global audience. Sometimes the humour gets diluted. Just a thought. Wishing him the best for the tour!

Yaar, this makes me so happy! Our content, our artists are world-class. The diaspora keeps our culture alive abroad. Can't wait for it to come to Toronto or Vancouver next! 🙌
