Known as the quintessential “funny guy", courtesy of his brilliant comic timing, veteran actor Deven Bhojani is deliberately shifting gears. Over the last five years, he has taken a conscious step back from television to reinvent himself across films and OTT. In Netflix’s Reporting Live, Bhojani plays a dedicated video journalist working alongside Parineeti Chopra. He embraces uncharted territory, a gritty narrative, and complex character work. In an exclusive interaction with mid-day, Bhojani shares his take on the political scenario in the country, being an insecure actor, and more. 

Deven Bhojani on actors and politics 

Deven Bhojani remains candid about the realities of his craft amid the tense atmosphere in the country and the idea of actors speaking up or participating in protests. He says, "I'm just an actor. Just let me act. I don't want to get into politics. I don't have the knowledge for it, and much of it is half-baked due to social media. I don't know what is right or wrong, so who am I to judge? Because my main job is to act. So I want to keep myself limited to that.”
