In this episode of OPEN Dialogues, actor Vedang Raina sits down with Kaveree Bamzai for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about life on and off camera.
From confessing he's never been paid for any of the songs he's sung in his films, to opening up about not going to acting school and calling it one of his biggest regrets, Vedang gets refreshingly honest about the journey so far.
He talks about being a self-described night owl whose creativity peaks past midnight, the pressure of box office numbers he once never thought about, his mother's hope that he'd "do an MBA," and his growing effort to reconnect with his Kashmiri roots by learning the language. He also recounts an intense on-set moment involving real lashes during a scene — and why he calls it his "DiCaprio moment."
