Quotes
Raghubir Yadav
Veteran actor discussing how cooking can help actors understand and develop characters.
“This is very important for an actor. First of all, an actor should enter the kitchen. Cooking is very important, you will understand the proportions there. You have to work hard in the kitchen, and manage so many things all at once. Learn how to cook. You will see many characters. It also gives you situational awareness, ‘How do you cook? Are you cooking in medium heat or high heat?’. It’s a learning ground. Whenever I get a character, I go straight to the kitchen.”

“No one will come there to bother you. Your world is yours. It's your character. And what you're making is yours. So, this is it. This is what I enjoy doing. And this is the reason that so much has happened. Also, it's very important to stay on the ground. If you go up 4-5 steps, you'll stop learning. So, it's fun to stay on the ground.”
