Paresh Rawal, man, what a legend. You throw a stone in Bollywood and odds are, you’ll hit a movie he’s in. Born and raised in Mumbai, he kicked off his acting journey on Gujarati theatre stages after finishing up at Narsee Monjee College. He crashed into films in the 80s with a blink-and-miss role in Holi, but soon enough, Naam (1986) put his face on the map. Villain, comedian, strict dad—Rawal’s done ‘em all. He terrified folks in movies like Kabzaa and King Uncle, then totally switched gears with the hilarious double act in Andaz Apna Apna. Dude’s comic timing? Unreal. But it’s not just the laughs or the scares—his performance as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in Sardar was the kind of stuff that makes you sit up and pay attention. That role, he says, actually changed him. And then, of course, Baburao in Hera Pheri. If you haven’t quoted Baburao at least once, are you even Bollywood? He’s cleaned up at the award shows too: National Award for Sir, Filmfare for Hera Pheri, and a bunch more. Plus, he’s done his thing in Telugu films and even dabbled in politics, serving as an MP and being named Chairperson of the National School of Drama. Seriously, the guy just doesn’t stop.
reference nNarsee Monjee Institute of Commerce and Economics in Ville Parle, Mumbai, is kind of a big deal in the commerce world. Anyone who’s spent time there knows it’s buzzing—students everywhere, endless chai breaks, and that classic Mumbai energy. The campus isn’t massive, but honestly, it packs in a lot: sharp professors, hectic fests, and cutthroat competitions. You’ll find folks juggling accounts books, prepping for case studies, or just chilling on the steps discussing cricket and Bollywood. Some of India’s brightest commerce minds have walked those hallways—no joke. The vibe’s a mix of ambition and laid-back charm; one minute you’re sweating over an economics quiz, the next you’re laughing with friends at the canteen. It’s not all academics either—tons of networking, debates, and those infamous college festivals everyone talks about. All in all, NM rocks a reputation for churning out sharp, street-smart grads who know their way around numbers... and life.
