Meet actor who was once humiliated on film set, wasn't even offered a chair to sit, later became a star, is still single because of…, he is…
This black comedy film, directed by Dev Benegal, was released in 1994. While Rahul Bose landed his debut lead role without much struggle, he revealed that he faced significant humiliation on the film's sets.
Bose claimed that he was not given a chair to sit on, so he decided to buy his own chair. Recalling those early days, in an interview, Rahul said, 'I was not given a chair to sit in my first film. I was the lead actor. I never struggled, I started playing the lead role directly from the stage, and there was no heroine in the film—only me. Still, I was never given a chair on the set.' When Rahul Was Not Given a Chair on Sets
The actor further revealed that apart from him, everyone on the set was given a chair. 'Sometimes I would sit on the road divider or a parapet like there was no problem, but the others always had chairs. The producer, his sister, his uncle, everyone got a chair except me,' Bose said.
Eventually, Bose decided to get his own chair. 'I went to a restaurant, and they had a fancy version of the chair that was on the set. It cost Rs 10,000, about 30 years ago, but I brought my own chair. Since that experience, I always bring my own chair to the set because I never want to go through that humiliation again,' he said. Rahul Bose and His Career and Personal Life
Rahul is one of the finest actors the industry has. He has featured in more than 50 films and series so far. He was last seen in Metro… In Dino.
What adds to Rahul's intrigue is his personal life. At the young age of 18, when most people are still trying to figure things out, he made a firm decision never to marry. It wasn't due to a lack of belief in love, but simply because he never felt the need to settle down.

Coolie Hindi Advance Booking Report: Rajinikanth starrer sells 5,400 tickets in National Chains; Aims at Rs 5 crore opening
Coolie is gearing up for the big release this weekend. The Tamil movie, starring Rajinikanth in the lead role, along with incredibly talented Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Pooja Hegde, and Sathyaraj, has generated a solid buzz among the Hindi audience, too. The guest appearance of Aamir Khan is also another reason for the Hindi belt to go berserk. The advance booking of Coolie in Hindi was opened today in the morning, and the reports are pretty decent. Coolie sells 5,400 tickets in the top national chains in Hindi The Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial sold over 5,400 tickets in the top three national chains- PVR Inox and Cinepolis- for the opening day, in Hindi, as per the data at 10 PM (August 10, Sunday). The movie is releasing against War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in Hindi, which is why it has limited showcasing. However, unlike all the other Tamil movies, Coolie opted for an 8-week OTT window, resulting in a good release in the multiplex chains. Due to the clash, the South movie has lost around 90% of single screens to War 2. Moreover, it didn't get prime shows in the national chains across North India. Coolie set an eye on the Rs 5 crore opening in Hindi Bankrolled by Sun Pictures, Coolie is likely to take an opening of Rs 5 crore net in Hindi, despite the clash and limited screens. However, a lot will depend on its spot booking and walk-in audience. Thankfully, the makers have promoted it reasonably well in the Hindi space, which was missing in previous Tamil releases. If the movie receives positive word-of-mouth, it will grow over the weekend and emerge as a successful venture. Coolie dominates the clash elsewhere Though Coolie might be having a comparatively low booking in the Hindi region, it is dominating the clash everywhere else, with a significant margin in the international markets. It will be interesting to see which one of the two gigantic movies opens bigger at the worldwide box office on its opening day. For the unversed, both Coolie and War 2 are releasing on August 14, 2025 (Thursday). Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
