Interviews with Darshan Jariwala and Sunil Pal

Dear listeners,

Our representative in Mumbai, Mr. Rachit Mehrotra, has conducted interviews with two of the Bollywood’s prominent figures. We mean, Mr. Darshan Jariwala and Mr. Sunil Pal.

Jariwala is a noted actor of Gujarati theatre, son of a veteran Gujarati actress Leela Jariwala (a contemporary of Dina Pathak) and husband of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi fame actress, Apara Mehta. He has acted on the films as well as on Indian television. One of his most remembered Gujarati TV serials is Narasimha Mehta, the celebrated poet and disciple of Lord Krishna. He portrayed Narsi Mehta. But his role of Mahatma Gandhi in the recent (August 2007) film Gandhi, My Father, proved to be the best in his career of three decades and put him on the international map. He was awarded the the best supporting actor award at the 55th National Awards for this role. More information available here.

Sunil Pal was born in Chandarpur (Maharastra, India). He is a popular Indian comedian and actor, and the 2005 winner of the The Great Indian Laughter Challenge on STAR One. Lately he has been seen acting in many Bollywood flicks doing minor comic roles.

Sunil Pal came to Mumbai in 1995 when his father (who then used to work with Indian Railways) got transferred.

He joined the Junior College. There he used to mimic his professors and famous actors. After college, he struggled for three years.

During one of his interviews, he says that “I was working at a tea stall in Santacruz as waiter. Those days I’d sleep on the footpath. And I used to use the telephones of a nearby shop to keep in touch with my contacts in film industry.” [1]

In 2000, Sunil got a chance to do a world tour with Aamir Khan (for Lagaan) as a junior artist. He was also involved in other tours of famous actors like Priety Zinta, Aishwarya Rai. On a tour with Sonu Nigam, he met Neeraj Vohra (writer and director) who later gave him a role in Phir Hera Pheri.

Later Sunil Pal contested in The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, and won the competition. He was the favourite of viewers, who were enthralled by his remarkable ability of impersonating many film actors (like Sunil Shetty, Nana Patekar, Sunny Deol, Dharmendra, Naseeruddin Shah, and Irfan Khan) with commanding progress. Soon after the show followed many small roles in Bollywood movies. So far he has worked in 7 films.His first major Hindi film, Bombay to Goa released in 2007, although he has played small bit roles in Hum Tum and Phir Hera Pheri.

The interviews of both of the personalities shall be on-air exclusively on Cloud FM on 7:30 PM Pakistan Time/8:00 PM India Time. Don’t miss it!!
