It isn\u2019t long before he transforms into a 70s superstar, clad in gorgeous printed shirts, open jackets and even velvet pants. In between shots, he talks about settling into fame, struggles with self-doubt and straightforwardness on nepotism.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"6137\" src=\"https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/027-Gurfateh-Pirzada-1-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/027-Gurfateh-Pirzada-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/027-Gurfateh-Pirzada-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/027-Gurfateh-Pirzada-1-770x963.jpg 770w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/027-Gurfateh-Pirzada-1-293x366.jpg 293w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/027-Gurfateh-Pirzada-1-390x488.jpg 390w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/027-Gurfateh-Pirzada-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"6137\" src=\"https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/027-Gurfateh-Pirzada-1-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/027-Gurfateh-Pirzada-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/027-Gurfateh-Pirzada-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/027-Gurfateh-Pirzada-1-770x963.jpg 770w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/027-Gurfateh-Pirzada-1-293x366.jpg 293w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/027-Gurfateh-Pirzada-1-390x488.jpg 390w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/027-Gurfateh-Pirzada-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"6135\" src=\"https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/028-Gurfateh-Pirzada-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/028-Gurfateh-Pirzada-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/028-Gurfateh-Pirzada-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/028-Gurfateh-Pirzada-770x963.jpg 770w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/028-Gurfateh-Pirzada-293x366.jpg 293w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/028-Gurfateh-Pirzada-390x488.jpg 390w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/028-Gurfateh-Pirzada.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"6135\" src=\"https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/028-Gurfateh-Pirzada-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/028-Gurfateh-Pirzada-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/028-Gurfateh-Pirzada-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/028-Gurfateh-Pirzada-770x963.jpg 770w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/028-Gurfateh-Pirzada-293x366.jpg 293w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/028-Gurfateh-Pirzada-390x488.jpg 390w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/028-Gurfateh-Pirzada.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nupur Sarvaiya:<\/strong>&nbsp;You made waves with&nbsp;<em>Guilty<\/em>, but Bollywood is known for typecasting actors.

That\u2019s just the reality of life. I have realised that either I can brood over the fact that my starting point was farther than someone else\u2019s or make the most of this opportunity and be thankful that there are multiple people looking at my journey and hoping they could start where I did. That said, I have worked with several star kids and it\u2019s been a mixed bag. Most of them are super nice, talented and kind, but there have been times when I have felt that I could give my two cents to some of them. But as an outsider, the blessing in disguise for me is that I don\u2019t come with the pressure of trying to live up to someone else\u2019s name or a baggage of Dos and Don\u2019ts that they might have cultivated from their surroundings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NS:&nbsp;<\/strong>Actors often talk about the \u201cone big break\u201d that changes everything.

I also received a lot of appreciation for playing a rather positive role, which was so stark from some of the bad characters I have essayed on screen.&nbsp;<em>Call Me Bae&nbsp;<\/em>also gave me a little bit of an extra push because I had a lull period because a couple of my projects got shelved.

Above all, I am a \u2018everything is figureoutable\u2019 kinda guy. I can compartmentalise my life for the love of my craft and never have any hang ups for experimenting with different roles or pushing myself to my limits. There are times when some projects get stuck or shelved, but I have always strived to salvage a situation that\u2019s possibly in my control. For instance, this one time I reached out to the director to try and work something out for a project that was on standstill. He requested for a meeting with my gym trainer. I remember telling my trainer that regardless of what the role demands, just say yes. If it means I need to become Hulk in a short amount of time, I am ready to work extremely hard. And that\u2019s exactly how the meeting panned out. The role had certain physical requirement and all I said was \u2018Yes, yes, yes\u2019. I am doing that project now. I genuinely believe I am like water and just like to flow, and that\u2019s my USP as an artist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NS:&nbsp;<\/strong>Streaming platforms have opened doors for newer talent.

During the lockdown, several big names weren\u2019t okay to be part of OTT platforms, which opened a lot of avenues for newer talent. Today, every A-lister is doing it, so silver and smart screens are the same. And I genuinely believe, with OTT, there\u2019s better content and writing. But I\u2019d love to be part of commercial films too. My only thumb rule is: Whether big screen or smart, I would like to be a part of any project if I would like to watch it myself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"6140\" src=\"https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/022-Gurfateh-Pirzada-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/022-Gurfateh-Pirzada-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/022-Gurfateh-Pirzada-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/022-Gurfateh-Pirzada-770x963.jpg 770w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/022-Gurfateh-Pirzada-293x366.jpg 293w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/022-Gurfateh-Pirzada-390x488.jpg 390w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/022-Gurfateh-Pirzada.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"6140\" src=\"https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/022-Gurfateh-Pirzada-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/022-Gurfateh-Pirzada-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/022-Gurfateh-Pirzada-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/022-Gurfateh-Pirzada-770x963.jpg 770w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/022-Gurfateh-Pirzada-293x366.jpg 293w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/022-Gurfateh-Pirzada-390x488.jpg 390w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/022-Gurfateh-Pirzada.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"6141\" src=\"https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/020-Gurfateh-Pirzada-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/020-Gurfateh-Pirzada-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/020-Gurfateh-Pirzada-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/020-Gurfateh-Pirzada-770x963.jpg 770w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/020-Gurfateh-Pirzada-293x366.jpg 293w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/020-Gurfateh-Pirzada-390x488.jpg 390w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/020-Gurfateh-Pirzada.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"6141\" src=\"https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/020-Gurfateh-Pirzada-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/020-Gurfateh-Pirzada-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/020-Gurfateh-Pirzada-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/020-Gurfateh-Pirzada-770x963.jpg 770w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/020-Gurfateh-Pirzada-293x366.jpg 293w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/020-Gurfateh-Pirzada-390x488.jpg 390w, https:\/\/khushwedding.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/020-Gurfateh-Pirzada.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NS:&nbsp;<\/strong>You\u2019ve spoken about your struggles with self-doubt.
