'I want to bring same disruption, charm like Shah Rukh Khan': Tahir Raj Bhasin on ushering change in cinema
As the Hindi film industry stands at a crossroads—navigating fierce competition from South Indian cinema, the rise of OTT platforms, and shifting audience preferences—actor Tahir Raj Bhasin sees this moment not as a setback, but as a turning point. Drawing inspiration from icons like Shah Rukh Khan, who redefined stardom and genre in the '90s, Tahir, in a candid interview with Hindustan Times, hopes to bring a similar blend of charm and disruption to today's cinematic landscape. Tahir Raj Bhasin, who is currently enjoying rave reviews for his villainous role in Special Ops 2, embraces the duality of cinema and OTT as complementary storytelling mediums. Tahir on bringing SRK-like disruption in Hindi cinema Tahir is currently enjoying rave reviews for his performance as 'Collector', the antagonist in Neeraj Pandey's Special Ops 2, alongside KK Menon. The actor is one of those rare talents in the Hindi film industry who has managed to remain relevant and respected without the traditional support of a film family or "Godfather." Tahir opens up about the evolving landscape of Indian cinema and the influences which continue shaping his artistic journey. "90s SRK was disruptive. It was the villain in Baazigar and the charmer that we saw in DDLJ. SRK today is an icon, but what he was doing in the 90s, were all the kind of heroes like Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na, who were flawed and had an element of charm to them. And so comes the idea to me that I would lend my skill to stories that are disruptive and drive them as entertainingly as possible," Tahir said. Reflecting on the current state of the Hindi film industry, especially amid comparisons with the booming South Indian cinema, Tahir describes Bollywood as a 'living organism.' 'It evolves and has to change and adapt to the time and to the audience,' he says. For him, this moment of flux isn't one of crisis but of opportunity. 'Only in times of change can new experiments and new things be tried out,' he insists, viewing the disruption as a fertile period for creative innovation. On OTT vs Cinema Tahir believes that cinema and OTT platforms aren't in competition but are complementary media. 'There's a charm in seeing a film in a theatre with a large community in a dark room and great surround sound,' he explains. 'But then there are some stories that are better told in an episodic format on OTT.' He sees this duality as a win for audiences, offering more choices and richer storytelling. On getting adulation from female fans for Special Ops 2 His recent role as 'The Collector' in Special Ops 2 earned wide appreciation, surprisingly from a large number of female fans. 'I thought the genre would appeal more to a male audience because of the action and espionage. But the response has been very balanced,' he says, adding that such feedback makes him hopeful about exploring the character more. 'You always want to leave the audience feeling like they want to know more. Curiosity is the best way to engage with your audience.' Tahir's future plans On the professional front, Tahir recently wrapped a mystery thriller for Netflix alongside Parineeti Chopra, directed by Renzil D'Silva and produced by Siddharth P. Malhotra. Though tight-lipped about his role, he reveals that it's a genre he's exploring for the first time, adding another feather to his diverse acting cap. When asked whether audiences will see him on the big screen soon, Tahir responds enthusiastically. 'Absolutely. We're looking at a bunch of scripts. It's always about finding the right part.' He feels fortunate to be part of a generation where actors can move seamlessly between cinema and digital platforms. 'The audience accepts you, whether you're playing a hero or an antagonist. They relate to the story.' A self-confessed Bollywood romantic, Tahir grew up during the golden era of 90s cinema. 'I'm a hardcore Bollywood buff. Any 90s kid is a romantic at heart, especially if you grew up watching a lot of Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan,' he says with a smile. While fans have loved his intense villainous roles, many now want to see him play the quintessential lover boy on screen — a shift he's more than open to, provided the script is right.

Ever Tried Garlic In A Dessert? Here's How To Make Rajasthani-Style Garlic Halwa
As a foodie, is there any ingredient that, as far as you can remember, you have always felt drawn to? Not a dish, but an element or flavour that you find yourself craving, find yourself adding to food - sometimes inexplicably, sometimes obsessively? For me, it has always been garlic. I have fond memories as a kid of sitting by my mother as she peeled garlic bulbs and sneaking a few cloves to eat raw. Relatives would joke that the habit gave me super-immunity. I grew up to become a garlic bread fanatic as a teen, and an unapologetic aglio e olio admirer as an adult. Strong, undeniable, versatile... it is the flavour of garlic that has perfumed many of my foodie memories over the years - including a recent one that has inspired this article. A few weeks ago, I attended a culinary showcase titled 'Laapi Chokha' at Maya, Trident Bandra Kurla, Mumbai. Helmed by Chefs Sangeeta Dhar and Vimal Dhar, it spotlighted traditional delicacies from Mewar and Marwar. I had the opportunity to discover a range of lesser-known Rajasthani dishes, which delighted me with their aromatic intricacies. The one that surprised me the most arrived at the end. It was garlic in a form I had never encountered before - as a key part of a dessert. Staunch garlic lover that I am, I admit to being rather dubious when I first heard that we were going to be served a "garlic halwa." But all it took was two small spoons to win me over. I have been singing praises of this Rajasthani-style lehsun (garlic) ka halwa ever since. I was curious to know more about this unique dessert, and the passionate chefs obligingly shared some insights into its origins and preparation: History Of Garlic Halwa According to Chef Sangeeta Dhar, the Nawabs of Arcot from the Tamil Nadu region were the first to make and popularise a halwa made with garlic. This was during the 18th century. The chef explained, "This sweet treat came to be known as 'Nawabi Halwa' and was traditionally prepared during festivals and special celebrations. Over time, it became a beloved dessert across southern India and gradually spread to other parts of the country, often taking on regional variations. Eventually, it was also adopted into the royal kitchens of Rajasthan and other princely states, becoming part of their refined culinary traditions." What Makes Garlic Halwa Unique? Savoury desserts are no longer a novel concept for most of us. You may already be familiar with Indian treats like mirchi ka halwa and international examples like olive oil cakes. But garlic halwa seems to me to be a class apart. It has a flavour that is sharp yet sweet, subtle yet undeniable. This dessert takes something famously pungent and turns it into the star ingredient of a traditional pudding. The transformation seems fascinating. The ingenuity of it lies in the technique. Read the recipe below to understand it better. How To Make Garlic Halwa | Recipe For Rajasthani-Style Lehsun Ka Halwa (Recipe courtesy: Dr. Chef Sangeeta Dhar) Boil water in a deep pan. Add peeled garlic cloves along with 1/2 teaspoon of alum powder. Boil together for around 4-5 minutes. Drain the water and thoroughly rinse the garlic cloves and the pan. Repeat this boiling and rinsing process 6-8 times. Continue doing so until the strong, pungent aroma of garlic is significantly reduced or completely neutralised. After the final rinse, let the garlic cloves cool slightly. Grind them into a smooth paste while adding milk gradually. Set aside for later use. To start making the halwa, heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed kadhai. Add the garlic paste made earlier to the hot ghee. Cook it on a low flame. Stir the paste continuously until it turns golden brown and aromatic. Gradually add the milk to the kadhai and continue stirring frequently. Once the mixture begins to thicken, add fresh khoya (mawa). Keep cooking until the mixture deepens in colour to a rich, dark brown. Stir in the sugar and continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes, or until the mixture begins to leave the sides of the pan and the ghee starts to separate. Add cardamom powder along with almond and pistachio flakes. Mix well to combine. Enjoy the garlic halwa hot.

The lehsun ka halwa needs to be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Chef Sangeeta advises against storage beyond a week. She points out, "The strong aroma and natural oils in garlic tend to intensify over time, which affects both flavour and texture. For the best taste and nutritional benefits, it is recommended to consume garlic halwa fresh or within a few days of preparation." If you're a garlic lover like me or simply someone who wants to taste a unique type of dessert, this garlic halwa recipe is a must-try. Make it soon and let us know what you think of it!
