What every student needs to hear before their first rejection | Shivankit Parihar | Breakout Ep. 3

In this episode, we have Shivankit Parihar, TVF writer and actor behind some of the most watched Hindi sketch comedy on the internet, for a conversation about what it actually takes to rebuild your plan when everything you prepared for falls apart.We talk about getting rejected three times by FTII, why rage matters after every rejection, and how a six-year-old boy dancing the Shiv Tandav on a school stage ended up writing crime shows in Bombay. In this conversation with Dhruv Marwadi, Trustee of Marwadi University, Shivankit shares the Zakir Khan line he still carries with him, the truth about whether content creation actually gets you into Bollywood, and the moment he realized that going bald was not the end of his career but the turning point of it.The conversation goes into why he never wanted to be a hero, the TVF sketch that made him forget he was bald, why he openly wants to be India's greatest villain, and what good comedy actually needs to survive. He talks about why he built his own ecosystem instead of chasing someone else's, why he treats acting as a process and not an end goal, and why the people he calls his real mentors are sportsmen, not Bollywood actors. We end with a rapid fire round and a message to his 20-year-old self.Subscribe for more conversations like this.Powered by Marwadi University.Timestamps:0:00 - Trailer1:44 - Why Rage Is Crucial After Every Rejection5:19 - The Shiv Tandav That Started It All9:51 - Content Creation Is Not A Bollywood Shortcut12:05 - How Going Bald Made Him A Writer15:32 - When He Forgot He Was Even Bald17:08 - Why You Must Write What You Lived21:39 - Why He Wants To Be India's Greatest Villain22:33 - Why Comedy Without A Voice Is Pointless26:37 - Why Scale Does Not Change Real Acting27:36 - Why Sportsmen Are His Real Mentors31:57 - Rapid Fire With Shivankit38:45 - His Message To His 20 Year Old SelfFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/breakout.mu/Follow Shivankit Parihar:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivankit_parihar/----------------Disclaimer: This video is intended for educational and informational purposes only.
