⁠This Is What Real Passion Looks Like: Taha Shah Badussha on Purpose, Growth, and Never Settling

At the WIBA Awards 2025 during the Cannes Film Festival, Taha Shah Badussha joins us for an inspiring conversation about acting, influence, and the evolving world of entertainment. Guided by engaging questions from Ginta, the interview dives into his journey from discovering acting as a passion to starring in global productions like "Heeramandi", directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Taha shares what influence truly means to him — not just visibility, but inspiration: the power to grow, learn, and become a better version of yourself. He reflects on balancing acting with social media in a rapidly changing industry shaped by technology and AI, and why staying authentic matters more than ever. From his experience at Cannes with the film "Paro" to his ambition of one day walking the main red carpet with an Indian movie, Taha opens up about dreams, discipline, and long-term vision. He also reveals how acting became his true calling — not through a single “aha” moment, but through a deep, evolving connection to the craft. Sharing practical advice for aspiring actors, he speaks about leaving ego behind, mastering focus, and the importance of continuous learning — because “readers are leaders.” Time codes: 00:00 – Introduction at WIBA Awards, Cannes 00:10 – First impressions of Cannes Film Festival 00:25 – About "Heeramandi" and working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali 00:30 – Film "Paro" and its powerful message 02:02 – What “influence” means: inspiration and growth 02:34 – Balancing acting, social media, and AI 03:16 – Using social media with purpose 03:54 – Movies vs Netflix: what he prefers 04:06 – Thoughts on directing 04:23 – Industry changes and future goals 05:04 – Dream: bringing Indian cinema to Cannes main red carpet 05:12 – Discovering acting as a passion 06:12 – Early career and New York Film Academy 06:41 – Finding true passion in acting 06:48 – Advice: ego, focus, and discipline 07:33 – “Readers are leaders” 07:43 – Guilty pleasure: homemade Indian food 🟡 Subscribe to the channel to check more of our videos about bloggers and influencers:    / @wibaawards   🎬 Watch other videos: ✅ Chasing Greatness, Not Fame: Virginia Varinelli on What Truly Defines Success    • Chasing Greatness, Not Fame: Virginia Vari...   ✅ Waves, Heels & Hustle: How Karolina Agata Sankiewicz Turned a Wild Idea Into a Viral Global Brand    • Waves, Heels & Hustle: How  Karolina Agata...   ✨ Our website: https://wiba.global/ ✨ Instagram:   / wibaawards   ✨ Taha Shah Badussha on Instagram:   / taahashah   ✨ Ginta on Instagram:   / ginta   #WIBA #WIBAAwards #CannesFilmFestival #TahaShah #Actor #Bollywood #Influencer #Motivation
