Taha Shah talks about How Bollywood mistreated him:
In an interview, Taha revealed that after the look test for Heeramandi, Sanjay Leela Bhansali told him, “You’re not doing this part.” This rejection hit him hard, as he was accustomed to being removed from projects. However, fate took a turn, and he landed the role of Tajdar, a lover, nawab, and freedom fighter, in the series. His success has brought joy to his family, especially his mother, who proudly talks about him to others.
Taha also received messages from fellow actors Neil Nitin Mukesh and Babil Khan after the series’ release. He considers Tajdar the biggest role of his career and hopes that Heeramandi will open new doors for him in the industry. Cold-calling, he believes, is the best discipline for anyone seeking success.
As Taha continues to shine, his journey serves as a reminder that persistence and resilience can lead to unexpected opportunities, even in an industry as competitive as Bollywood. His story inspires aspiring actors to keep pushing forward, no matter the obstacles they face. After all, sometimes rejection is merely a stepping stone toward something greater.
His recent series ”Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar” featuring Aditi Rao Hydari, Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Sharmin Segal and many other stellar cast. The series is trending all over in many countries portraying the art and music in the most amazing way possible. The series is now streaming on Netflix in multiple languages.
