0:00 – Introduction 3:00 - Nakuul: As an outsider in the industry, it takes people time to believe in you, but there have been so many people who rallied around me to help me reach this position 6:20 - Nakuul opens up about how his journey in the film and television industry started 7:15 - Nakuul: In 2008, when I did this Hindi film, it didn’t work out. It felt like the right choice at that time, but we didn’t have enough resources or information as outsiders 8:15 - Nakuul: I had the privilege of doing this because I stayed with my parents and didn’t have to pay rent. For others who don’t have this privilege, it’s harder 11:30 - Nakuul explains why he chose to do only 3-4 television shows in his 14-year-long career 12:15 - Nakuul: I wasn’t chasing money. I did 3 television shows in 13 years. Any of my contemporaries would have chosen to do 8-9 shows at least, but that’s their choice. 13:45 - Nakuul: Today, I am not competing with anyone. I want to be in a place where makers and writers feel that ‘yeh sirf Aap hi kar sakte hai’ 16:30 - Nakuul: My manager makes fun of me because I still travel economy a lot.

He now knows that I have a series coming out that has something to do with the moon and astronauts 28:00 - Nakuul: I don’t do reality television because I don’t think it’s fun for me.
