Conan O'Brien tries to become Bollywood star, Richa Chadha-Ali Fazal aren't convinced

Mumbai, August 22

American comedian Conan O'Brien recently tried his luck at becoming a Bollywood star, but actors Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha do not seem convinced.

A new promo for the upcoming season of Conan O'Brien Must Go shows Conan asking the actors if he has what it takes to make it in Bollywood. What starts as a simple question soon turns into a fun audition, with Richa and Ali giving him an honest answer.

"I haven't become a Bollywood star. Do you think I have what it takes?" Conan asks in the promo, to which Richa responds, "Everyone can dream."

Ali then tells Conan, "You can't just come in, pitch that you want to be a star and that too somewhere you don't really belong." Richa adds, "We are huge fans of you, but I don't think you are Bollywood material."

The promo also sees Conan trying to deal with his lack of Hindi skills as he attempts to prove that he can still fit into the Hindi film industry.

The playful exchange soon caught the attention of viewers online, with several fans reacting to Conan's Bollywood attempt. One viewer wrote, "Good! Now say "Teen Guna lagaan dena padega"."

Another commented, "Everyone can dream. Such a dig at so many people," along with laughing emojis. A fan called the episode "exactly what we deserve right now," while another wrote, "They picked the perfect side to entertain from Bollywood."

Richa and Ali are among the Indian personalities featured in the latest season of Conan O'Brien Must Go. The travel series follows Conan as he visits different countries, meets people and explores local culture through his trademark humour.

Conan O'Brien Must Go first premiered in 2024.
