<p>Tahir Raj Bhasin has built a diverse body of work over the years, taking on characters across films and web series. From his debut in <i>Mardaani</i> to projects such as <i>Chhichhore, 83</i> and <i>Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein,</i> the actor has continued to explore different sides of his craft. He is now being seen in Netflix’s psychological thriller <i>Shaque: Trust No One, </i>where he plays Alok alongside Parineeti Chopra and Soni Razdan. In an exclusive conversation with <i>WION</i>, Tahir Raj Bhasin opened up about his experience of playing the layered character, working with Parineeti Chopra, his approach to choosing roles and what he hopes to explore next in his career.</p><h2>Tahir Raj Bhasin on playing Alok in Shaque and exploring different characters</h2><p>Tahir Raj Bhasin spoke about playing Alok in <i>Shaque</i> and whether the role has made him want to explore more psychologically complicated characters. “I've always tried to have variety in the genres that I do. And so I think just going in a different direction for the moment would be interesting, just refreshing both for me as well as bringing something new to the audience,” he said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/siddharth-p-malhotra-confirms-ikka-2-reveals-shaque-season-2-will-tell-a-new-story-1791130577142"><strong>Siddharth P Malhotra confirms Ikka 2, reveals Shaque Season 2 will tell a new story</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“But having said that, I enjoy a level of depth and psychological layers in any part that I play.” He added that even if his next role is “an all-out comedy", he hopes it will have “an interesting setup” and a character who “has a reason for being the way that he is.”</p><h2>Tahir Raj Bhasin on OTT and morally grey characters</h2><p>Tahir also spoke about whether streaming has given actors more room to play flawed and contradictory people without having to make them immediately likeable. “Yes, for sure. I think that trend has existed now for over a decade,” he said. He pointed to shows like Breaking Bad, Narcos and House of Cards, while also discussing his own experience with OTT.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“I feel OTT has also given room for an actor to play episodic characters where you can stay with a character for seven or eight episodes for one or two seasons. And that just gives you a longer time to explore different shades.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/shaque-trust-no-one-trailer-parineeti-chopra-is-on-an-intense-hunt-for-her-kidnapped-daughter-1789030343443"><strong>Shaque: Trust No One trailer: Parineeti Chopra is on an intense hunt for her kidnapped daughter</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He said a character can begin as “an absolute protagonist” and eventually move into grey or darker territory, citing<i> Ye Kali Kali Aankhe </i>and <i>Sultan of Delhi</i> as examples.</p><h2>Tahir on what he still doesn't understand about Alok</h2><p>After spending time with Alok, Tahir was asked about one question about the character that he still does not have an answer to. “I feel a question about him that I still don't have an answer to: why does he find it so difficult to speak what's on his mind?" he said.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://img-cdn.publive.online/filters:format(webp)/filters:format(webp)/movietalkies/media/media_files/2026/09/23/shaque-2-2026-09-23-15-33-40.jpg" alt="Shaque Review: A thrilling investigation by a mother that falls prey to  predictability –"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>According to Tahir, Alok “acts impulsively and is very emotional", and clearer communication could potentially solve his problems faster.

In an exclusive interview, Tahir Raj Bhasin spoke about his role as Alok in Shaque, saying he enjoys characters with depth and psychological layers. Read to know more. 

Tahir Raj Bhasin has built a diverse body of work over the years, taking on characters across films and web series. From his debut in Mardaani to projects such as Chhichhore, 83 and Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein, the actor has continued to explore different sides of his craft. He is now being seen in Netflix’s psychological thriller Shaque: Trust No One, where he plays Alok alongside Parineeti Chopra and Soni Razdan. In an exclusive conversation with WION, Tahir Raj Bhasin opened up about his experience of playing the layered character, working with Parineeti Chopra, his approach to choosing roles and what he hopes to explore next in his career. Tahir Raj Bhasin on playing Alok in Shaque and exploring different characters Tahir Raj Bhasin spoke about playing Alok in Shaque and whether the role has made him want to explore more psychologically complicated characters. “I've always tried to have variety in the genres that I do. And so I think just going in a different direction for the moment would be interesting, just refreshing both for me as well as bringing something new to the audience,” he said.

I think that trend has existed now for over a decade,” he said. He pointed to shows like Breaking Bad, Narcos and House of Cards, while also discussing his own experience with OTT. “I feel OTT has also given room for an actor to play episodic characters where you can stay with a character for seven or eight episodes for one or two seasons. And that just gives you a longer time to explore different shades.” Also Read: Shaque: Trust No One trailer: Parineeti Chopra is on an intense hunt for her kidnapped daughter He said a character can begin as “an absolute protagonist” and eventually move into grey or darker territory, citing Ye Kali Kali Aankhe and Sultan of Delhi as examples. Tahir on what he still doesn't understand about Alok After spending time with Alok, Tahir was asked about one question about the character that he still does not have an answer to. “I feel a question about him that I still don't have an answer to: why does he find it so difficult to speak what's on his mind?" he said. According to Tahir, Alok “acts impulsively and is very emotional", and clearer communication could potentially solve his problems faster. But I think he often gets, he's doing a balancing act between concealing information to protect the people he loves versus his wants and needs,” he said. The Shaque scene that was challenging for Tahir Tahir also opened up about a scene that appeared simple on paper but had several layers when he reached the set. He recalled a sequence in which Anvita’s character goes out on a chase after a kidnapper while Alok finds their daughter alone at home.

The North American box office had a clear winner this weekend, with Verity gaining momentum with numbers. Meanwhile, Tom Cruise’s latest film, Digger, is struggling to draw audiences. 

The bookish thriller "Verity" cleaned up in its North American box office debut this weekend, while Tom Cruise flopped in "Digger", playing a rich old guy who thinks he can save the world. "Verity", an MGM film starring Dakota Johnson, Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett, took in $32.6 million in its first weekend, industry monitor Exhibitor Relations said. Adapted from a novel by Colleen Hoover, the story of a struggling writer hired to help a famous author finish her book scored an excellent opening for an original psychological thriller, said veteran industry watcher David A. Gross of FranchiseRe Movies.

Verity tops North American box office as Tom Cruise’s Digger stumbles

<p>Actor Bhuvan Arora has carved a space for himself on OTT platforms with his versatile performances. From the street-smart Firoz in Farzi to the lover-boy Amavas in Dupahiya, Arora has moved across genres. He has also appeared in major theatrical releases such as Amaran and Chandu Champion.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Arora has now returned with Dupahiya 2, which reunites him with Gajraj Rao, Renuka Shahane, Sparsh Shrivastava, Shivani Raghuvanshi and Yashpal Sharma, with Dinesh Lal Yadav, also joining the cast. Directed by Sonam Nair, the series premiered on Prime Video on October 1. In an exclusive conversation with <i>WION</i>, Arora spoke about working in Dupahiya 2, Waiting Hai, and how Farzi changed his career. He also shared updates on Farzi 2, starring Shahid Kapoor.</p><p><br><strong>WION: How was it returning to Dhadakpur for Dupahiya 2?</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Bhuvan Arora: </strong>Very good. It’s always a good feeling to come to a crime-free village. But unfortunately, this time around, the village isn’t crime-free anymore.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION: Amavas is deeply in love with Roshni. How much can Bhuvan Arora relate to Amavas?</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Bhuvan Arora: </strong>100% related. I will genuinely do everything I can in my capacity. I will turn the world upside down if I genuinely love somebody. And my friends would be a testimony to that. I’ve done that for them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/dupahiya-2-series-review-dhadakpur-is-back-but-the-sequel-takes-time-to-find-its-rhythm-1790793920318"><strong>Dupahiya 2 series review: Dhadakpur is back, but the sequel takes time to find its rhythm</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION: The series has such an ensemble cast. What is the atmosphere like when all of you are together on set?</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Bhuvan Arora:</strong> I feel that they’re all younger than us and more passionate than us still. They are so much at ease with what they do. And I don’t think so they take themselves too seriously.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, they never really made us feel like they’ve been here for a very long time and we are relatively newer in front of them. It was immense joy. And I feel that Dupahiya particularly is one show where we genuinely, over the course of a period of time, have become like a family only.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, it’s like, it’s a crazy dynamic. Me and Gajraj sir go along really well. We speak very often, even when we’re not shooting. And a lot of things that we jam on. And I feel he’s the one who’s actually holding the whole group together. So, yeah, lots to learn from him professionally and personally.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION: You also worked in Waiting Hai, where you played Afroz Hamza. What attracted you to the character?</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Bhuvan Arora: </strong>It’s basically hardware versus software. Afroz Hamza is a software guy and Firoz is a hardware guy. So, I think that in itself is very different.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think they both come from very different regions. One is a Bombay boy and the other is a Bihari boy. One is from a very different background, you know, and the other is from a very different background.</p><p>I mean, I don’t know if they both even qualify for a scam. I think they do, in a very broad perspective. But, yeah, I don’t think so anybody would look at these two characters and find any sort of similarity between them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

She’s my senior from FTII. We are both Delhi boys. We did not have a lot of scenes together in the show. But, yeah, off-screen we bonded a lot. And we’re pretty similar in terms of our sense of humour, taste in food and everything. I mean, like, he’s a friend now. He’s like an elder brother figure to me. So, yeah, immense joy meeting him on-screen, off-screen.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION: You have played scammers in both Farzi and Waiting Hai. Have you ever been scammed in real life?</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Bhuvan Arora: </strong>Oh, many times. I’m a very gullible guy. It’s very easy to scam me. Yeah, many times I’ve placed an order on online sites, looking at Instagram and all of that. They turned out to be shady websites, which really basically have no genuine warehouses. And my order has never reached when I paid for it. Many times I’ve been scammed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I get scammed very easily. Somebody will make a poor face and tell me that they’re in need of money. I’m a very, what do I say, soft target for people like that. I’m the first one to help. But now I’ve made a ground rule not to give in to it. But earlier, it was very easy to fool me.</p><p><br><strong>WION: Farzi made you a household name. What changes came after the series?</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Bhuvan Arora: </strong>Yeah, people started to trust me more. I mean, thankfully, a lot of the bank was a little bit happier now. And people started to trust me more with bigger parts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, people started to sort of, you know, acknowledge the craft and sort of trust me with bigger, important and lead parts. That was something that has changed. I feel the whole shift has become in the choice.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Before Farzi, I would probably, you know, not get so many offers. I did not have that much choice in that. But now, thankfully, I do.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, I think the only liberty that Farzi gave me is the liberty to choose between things.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION: Everyone is waiting for Farzi 2. Can you tell us something about the new season?</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Bhuvan Arora:</strong> Now what I can tell you is that it’s going to be bigger. It’s going to be grander. Because obviously people have showered so much love on the show. It became like the most seen show of all time and especially Firoz.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I really did not anticipate so much love would be personally given to Firoz, my character in the show. So, all I can tell you at this point of time is that the season 2 is obviously bigger, grander and more massive.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION: At this point in your career, what do you look for when choosing a character?</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Bhuvan Arora:</strong> I think I look at the story of the script first, I mean like the project first. I mean the script in totality first and second thing is my character in it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I feel if the story is good and the character is okay, it will still become a successful project. Or maybe a creatively satisfying project. Versus when the story is bad and the character is good.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, whatever experience that I’ve had, I’ve realized that when the script is good and the character is okay, it’s fun to shoot. But when the script is bad, I mean the story is not really engaging, but your character individually is very good, I’ve often felt that it doesn’t work.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/farzi-2-who-is-yukti-thareja-the-actress-set-to-star-opposite-shahid-kapoor-in-the-sequel-1791108027542"><strong>Farzi 2: Who is Yukti Thareja, the actress set to star opposite Shahid Kapoor in the sequel?</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It’s not really something that satisfies you creatively.

I feel India has not brought only a decent superhero film till date. And I feel we have immense scope here.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We are a country which has great comics.

We can actually imbibe mythology and we can genuinely come up with a great superhero film because our culture is very rich. I think we have immense potential there.</p><p>So, I’m really, really looking forward to superhero, larger-than-life sort of film which I would be really, really happy to be a part of.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION: What is Bhuvan Arora like when he is away from the camera? What do you do in your free time?</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Bhuvan Arora: </strong>I sleep. I like training. I like working out. I like travelling. I’ve just become a father. So, I love spending time with my baby.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have a pet. I love playing with her. I like observing animals. I like talking to people. I used to like talking to people a lot because I used to get introduced to many new different characters which I can later use on screen.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I like swimming. I mean, I like chilling with friends. Basic things only which everybody likes. I think these are the things you would also like probably.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nothing different as such.

But now my house does not have a tube light because everything is about false ceilings and hidden lights and all of that. So, I’m deprived of that joy now.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But earlier and back in the day, I used to stare into tube lights a lot in my free time and think about life. I don’t get to do it anymore because my wife has removed all the tube lights from the house.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION: Apart from Dupahiya 2 and Farzi 2, is there anything else we can see you in?</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Bhuvan Arora: </strong>A lot of things. I think there is a show called Janaawar which is coming up in the season 2. There is a film that I have done in which Manisha Koirala and I are heading the parts. So, that is there.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And then there is a lot of other interesting stuff which I am not at liberty to speak about at this moment. But yeah, it’s a pretty interesting lineup.<br>&nbsp;</p>

Actor Bhuvan Arora has a busy line-up. Following the release of Dupahiya Season 2, the actor will appear in Farzi 2 and other projects. During an interview with WION, Arora opens up about his career, success and more. 

Actor Bhuvan Arora has carved a space for himself on OTT platforms with his versatile performances. From the street-smart Firoz in Farzi to the lover-boy Amavas in Dupahiya, Arora has moved across genres. He has also appeared in major theatrical releases such as Amaran and Chandu Champion. Arora has now returned with Dupahiya 2, which reunites him with Gajraj Rao, Renuka Shahane, Sparsh Shrivastava, Shivani Raghuvanshi and Yashpal Sharma, with Dinesh Lal Yadav, also joining the cast. Directed by Sonam Nair, the series premiered on Prime Video on October 1. In an exclusive conversation with WION, Arora spoke about working in Dupahiya 2, Waiting Hai, and how Farzi changed his career. He also shared updates on Farzi 2, starring Shahid Kapoor. WION: How was it returning to Dhadakpur for Dupahiya 2? Bhuvan Arora: Very good. It’s always a good feeling to come to a crime-free village. But unfortunately, this time around, the village isn’t crime-free anymore. WION: Amavas is deeply in love with Roshni. How much can Bhuvan Arora relate to Amavas? Bhuvan Arora: 100% related. I will genuinely do everything I can in my capacity. I will turn the world upside down if I genuinely love somebody. And my friends would be a testimony to that. I’ve done that for them. Also Read: Dupahiya 2 series review: Dhadakpur is back, but the sequel takes time to find its rhythm WION: The series has such an ensemble cast. What is the atmosphere like when all of you are together on set? Bhuvan Arora: I feel that they’re all younger than us and more passionate than us still. They are so much at ease with what they do. And I don’t think so they take themselves too seriously. So, they never really made us feel like they’ve been here for a very long time and we are relatively newer in front of them. It was immense joy. And I feel that Dupahiya particularly is one show where we genuinely, over the course of a period of time, have become like a family only. So, it’s like, it’s a crazy dynamic. Me and Gajraj sir go along really well. We speak very often, even when we’re not shooting. And a lot of things that we jam on. And I feel he’s the one who’s actually holding the whole group together. So, yeah, lots to learn from him professionally and personally. WION: You also worked in Waiting Hai, where you played Afroz Hamza. What attracted you to the character? Bhuvan Arora: It’s basically hardware versus software. Afroz Hamza is a software guy and Firoz is a hardware guy. So, I think that in itself is very different. I think they both come from very different regions. One is a Bombay boy and the other is a Bihari boy. One is from a very different background, you know, and the other is from a very different background. I mean, I don’t know if they both even qualify for a scam. I think they do, in a very broad perspective. But, yeah, I don’t think so anybody would look at these two characters and find any sort of similarity between them.
