Randeep Hooda Commends Naseeruddin Shah and Salman Khan at News18’s Rising Bharat Summit
Randeep Hooda expressed admiration for Bollywood legends Salman Khan and Naseeruddin Shah during his appearance at News18’s Rising Bharat Summit in New Delhi. He reflected on the impact of these actors and the significance of their enduring careers in the film industry.
During the summit, Randeep identified Naseeruddin Shah and Salman Khan as prominent inspirations in his life, highlighting the lessons he has learned from these established figures. He remarked on their impressive longevity in the industry, emphasizing how they remain at the pinnacle of their careers.
“I have had the privilege to work alongside Naseer saab, and his insights have greatly influenced my craft. Along with Sunny Deol and Salman Khan, these individuals have maintained remarkable careers and continue to excel in their work,” Randeep stated.
As he prepares for the anticipated release of his upcoming film, Jaat, Randeep offered insights into the unique status of past superstars. He noted that the lack of social media during their rise contributed to their iconic status, making them less accessible and therefore more revered compared to today’s stars. This element of rarity, he believes, is missing in modern film culture.
“The most influential stars today are those who achieved their fame prior to the age of social media. Back then, engaging with stars required more effort; we sought them out in magazines or watched segments like Chitrahaar. Nowadays, everything is readily available, and viewers know everything about their favorite actors—from their outfits to their vacation spots. The rarity that made those stars special has diminished. This exclusivity contributed to their lasting influence,” he remarked.
The Rising Bharat Summit 2025 emphasizes the essential role of India’s youth in the nation’s pursuit of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047. With an impressive cohort of 420 million young individuals paving the way for innovation, their aspirations are reshaping future possibilities. The summit is themed “Youthful Aspirations – Aspire. Achieve. Ascend,” showcasing the dynamic potential of the younger generation.
This year’s summit features a diverse array of global and Indian leaders who converge to discuss sustainability and share visions for an equitable, prosperous future.
