Rahul Bose has always chosen to let his work speak for itself. This applies to the Berlin actor’s life choices, too. At the slightest hint of indignation on his first film set, he decided not to face the humiliation and do something about it more constructively. Recalling an incident more than 30 years ago, the 57-year-old shared in a 2024 interview with Lallantop Cinema, “I never struggled. After stage, I got a lead role in my first film. But I never got a chair. I would sit on a parapet or a divider during shoot as if I had no problem. However, the others used to get a chair like the producer and his family members. I didn’t get it.”
Respect must first be cultivated internally instead of external validation, said Dr Chandni Tugnait, MD (A.M) psychotherapist, coach and healer, founder and director, Gateway of Healing. “Waiting for external validation is akin to being trapped in an endless pursuit of approval. This approach inevitably leads to burnout and behavioural inconsistency as they shift personas to match others’ expectations,” said Dr Tugnait.
Concurring with Bose’s actions and the intention to deal with indignation more maturely, Dr Tugnait said that such practices show true character.
“Unlike superficial impressions based on appearance or charm, respect earned through demonstrated competence has remarkable staying power, withstanding both time and changing circumstances,” said Dr Tugnait.
Learning from bitter or painful experiences to improve not only your chances but those of others around you is a remarkable quality. “Unlike advantages of birth or circumstance, the ability to do good work remains democratically available, making this pathway to respect and success,” said Dr Tugnait.
