In this episode of AfterHours with All About Eve podcast, Neil Bhoopalam chats with Bani Anand about life, work, and self-care. Bani praises Neil’s powerful performance in 'NH10', sparking a candid discussion about how often the artist behind the work is overlooked.

Neil shares his unique approach to staying grounded, from embracing spontaneity, to finding solace in meditation, walks, and even lying on the floor staring at the fan—a refreshing take on the art of doing nothing.

Bani and Neil reflect on the passage of time, with Neil sharing insights on ageing, marriage, and fatherhood. He describes his marriage to Nandini Shrikent as a union of two universes, with their home being their greatest "production."

Neil explores societal norms, the pull of traditions, and the individuality needed in relationships. He believes happiness is overrated, valuing a sum total of all emotions instead. He humorously shares how he teaches his son to "roll with the sadness," inspired by 'Inside Out'.

Neil discusses unlearning outdated beliefs, criticising hustle culture, and advocating for "wasting time" to foster creativity, inspired by Japanese design.

He shares insights on embodying characters through cultural contexts and how evolving technology has reshaped storytelling. Neil also opens up about detaching from smartphones, his mixed feelings about WhatsApp, and the mental clutter of constant connectivity, emphasising simplicity to regain focus.

Neil Bhoopalam shares his approach to acting, life, and fame with Bani Anand. He reflects on maintaining privacy, avoiding social media, and the impact of instant gratification on creativity.

Neil discusses working on NH10 with Anushka Sharma, balancing passion projects with commercial work, and embracing an artist’s need for mystery.

As the podcast moves forward, Neil Bhoopalam discusses the changing entertainment industry with Bani Anand, comparing it to a chaotic football game where trends often overshadow long-term goals. He talks about how OTT platforms have transformed content and job opportunities and shares his admiration for comedy legends like Buster Keaton and Mr. Bean.

Neil advocates for stand-up comedians to collaborate on scripted fiction and recalls behind-the-scenes stories from 'Masaba Masaba', praising Neena Gupta and Masaba Gupta. He credits shows like 'Masaba Masaba' and 'Four More Shots Please!' for boosting his visibility in India and the South Asian diaspora.

In this interview with Bani Anand, Neil Bhoopalam discusses his evolving career, excitement about playing villainous roles, and his love for theatre despite its financial challenges. He shares insights into his latest play, 'The Nether', a sci-fi exploration of morality.

Neil reflects on the balance between art and making a living, advocating for patrons to support artists. The conversation takes a humorous turn as they discuss theatre economics, actor paychecks, and stage rental costs.

The interview ends with a fun "Would You Rather" game, where Neil shares his preferences on Big Boss, hero vs. villain roles, and box office hits vs. OTT releases. He also reveals his unique ways of unwinding, like practising origami.
