What does it take to build your own identity when your name carries generations of legacy?

In this episode of Tomorrow, Today, host Shekhar Natarajan sits down with actor Neil Nitin Mukesh for an honest conversation about family, sacrifice, Bollywood, rejection, and the challenge of becoming more than the expectations attached to your name.

From the musical legacy of his grandfather Mukesh and the sacrifices of his father Nitin Mukesh to the realities of being judged, typecast, and finding meaningful work in cinema, Neil reflects on the experiences that shaped him both on and off screen.

The conversation also explores the values that endure beyond fame, the responsibilities of marriage and fatherhood, the discipline behind an artistic career, and the possibilities artificial intelligence could unlock for the future of filmmaking.
