## Resource

Welcome to Cyrus Says! In this episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus sits down with Vaibhav Tatwawadi for a warm, funny, and deeply insightful conversation about theatre, engineering, acting, language, discipline, and the long road to finding success on your own terms. From growing up in Nagpur and choosing Pune over Mumbai, to discovering that badminton gave him applause but theatre gave him purpose, Vaibhav opens up about how he slowly built himself as an actor through inter-college drama, FTII projects, Marathi cinema, and eventually Hindi films. The conversation also dives into Vaibhav’s journey through COEP, his backup plan of becoming a professor, the realities of coming from a non-metro city, and how confidence, craft, and patience shaped his career. He speaks about working with Mahesh Manjrekar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Naseeruddin Shah, and the emotional impact of The Titan Story, which connected with audiences far beyond just performance because of the brand’s deep nostalgia and emotional place in Indian life. This is a thoughtful and highly engaging episode about passion, preparation, humility, and the kind of success that comes from staying rooted while growing across industries and languages.
