Amruta Subhash shared how she was stunned at the blunt and honest feedback she received from veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah about her acting.

Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah had some strong feedback for Amruta Subhash after watching her stage performance. In a chat with The Lallantop, Amruta recalled expecting praise from

“Naseer saab” and feeling proud because the audience had applauded her. But instead of compliments, she got a stern response—Naseeruddin told her he was actually “worried” after seeing her act.

Why Naseeruddin yelled at Amruta

Amruta recalled the incident in more detail during the interview. She explained that in her play, there was a particular scene where her character had to cry, and she had mastered it in a way that always earned her applause from the audience.

One day, she noticed Naseeruddin Shah in the audience and gave her usual impactful performance, feeling proud of the audience’s reaction. To her surprise, Naseer saab even stayed back to watch the second show that day.

Later, she ran into him at a tea shop. She said, “He came up to me and said, ‘Amruta…’ I responded, ‘Yes sir,’ expecting praise.

He told me, ‘I saw your play,’ and I proudly asked, ‘Okay, and?’ That’s when he said, ‘Beta, I’m concerned.’ I was taken aback. I had just received a lot of applause—so I couldn’t understand why he was worried.”

He said you’re forcing yourself on the character

He then told me, ‘Beta, I watched both the shows, and you did the same thing for claps.’ He was very angry. He said in a higher tone,

I would rather see you failing doing something new rather than doing the same thing again and again for claps, okay?’ I was like, ‘Okay, sir, sorry.’ He asked whether the character even needed to cry.
