“I am good at keeping secrets”
Coming from an Army family, Tahir Raj Bhasin never perceived himself as a “struggling actor” even when he was a newcomer because he was confident success would come his way. Currently, Tahir’s high on visibility courtesy web series like Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein, Ranjish Hi Sahi and films such as Loop Lapeta. Tahir says happily, “2022 has been a fresh start of romantic leads.” Tahir says he has encountered curiosity about his name, “My parents Gauri and Rajan loved the name Tahir. I have a middle name too which is uncommon— I have always loved the resulting uniqueness.”
What are three things that no one knows about you?
1. I am very good at keeping secrets.
2. Prague is my favourite vacation spot.
3. Aloo parantha is my comfort food. It’s my go-to meal on cheat days, with a dollop of white butter.
Do you sing in the shower?
All the time, but terribly. It would probably be the latest chartbuster. This week it has been Nasha by Faridkot
What are you reading right now?
I read before going to sleep. I’m currently reading The Psychology of Money, which is a fascinating book on our misconceptions about wealth. Just to reassure people that I wasn’t born reading business books, I have read Hardy Boys and The Secret Seven too,
when I was a kid.
Your favourite podcast?
An entrepreneur or a sports person talking about his or her journey.
Do you have a midnight munch?
I have eliminated all chocolates from the fridge, so I have to make do with an apple.
What is a health shot you swear by?
ABC—apple-beetroot-carrot juice. It’s my detox after a fun evening and post-gym.
Do you sing in the shower?
All the time, but terribly. It would probably be the latest chartbuster. This week it has been Nasha by Faridkot.
Do you know anybody who snores? How do you deal with it?
When I visit my parents’ place, there is a snoring competition between mom and dad. I make sure I shut their room door, my room door and wear ear plugs.
Describe yourself in a hashtag. #LifeIsTooShort.
