Join us for the 109th episode of Digital Commentary’s Unfolding Talents Podcast featuring one of Indian television’s most nostalgic and beloved actors — Aamir Ali, known for iconic roles in F.I.R., Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, Lootere, Faraaz, I Hate Luv Storys, Nach Baliye and more. In this candid and emotional conversation, He shares what it felt like on his first day on set, how he initially never wanted to do TV, and the reason he was ashamed of doing television early in his career. He also talks about the time he got fired from F.I.R., a turning point in his career. Aamir takes us back to his early days in modelling, revealing how Subrata Roy Sahara played a pivotal role in launching his career and encouraging him to follow his passion. He recounts how a chance incident in the gym led to landing a role in ‘I Hate Luv Storys’, and how working non-stop for six years deeply impacted his health. In a light-hearted yet revealing moment, Aamir shares the story of the time he literally ran away from a producer to avoid doing a show. He reflects on his first bold film with Hansal Mehta, and opens up about the time he rejected Ekta Kapoor’s offer out of fear of being typecast as a TV actor. He also shares a conversation with actor Vivek Mushran — a moment I personally feel every aspiring actor should hear and reflect on. From dancing on Nach Baliye without any formal training, to his love for Bigg Boss (and why he won’t participate), Aamir explores his complex relationship with Indian reality TV, media culture, and paid paparazzi games. He ends the conversation reflecting on his dream of doing OTT content, and how the industry’s typecasting continues to be a roadblock. This episode offers a rare, vulnerable, and unfiltered look into the journey of one of television’s most enduring faces.

Don’t miss this nostalgic deep-dive with Aamir Ali — a must-watch for every 90s kid, TV lover, and aspiring actor.
