Avinash Tiwary opens up about discovering his passion for acting during engineering days; says, “When I questioned myself about what I wanted to do, I realised I wanted to act”

Avinash Tiwary, known for his performances in Laila Majnu, Bulbbul, and more recently Madgaon Express and Bambai Meri Jaan, has steadily built a reputation for choosing roles with depth. However, the actor recently revealed that acting wasn’t always on his radar - and his path to the film industry came through a moment of unexpected self-realisation during his engineering studies.

"I have enjoyed films, but they were always a source of entertainment for me. It was never inspiring for me to be an actor," Tiwary said in a podcast with Bollywood Hungama, sharing that he was raised in a conventional environment where education was prioritised. "Education was a family thing, and I was told 'that was what you need to do, this (films) is all distraction'; and I had that kind of viewpoint about the film industry”.

 

He recalled a pivotal moment during his engineering days, when being away from home allowed him space to reflect. "While I was studying, one day I started asking questions to myself, 'What do I want to do?' Because I wanted to play cricket, but that was just a desire. People would say 'Do what you love', but you also need to be good at it. So, I wasn't good at athletics, but I loved playing it," he explained.

 

That introspection ultimately led to the answer he wasn’t expecting. "So when I questioned myself about what I wanted to do, I realised I wanted to act. I have never done it, but I felt close to it. I think it was a very stupid thing to have happened at that point of time," he admitted, highlighting how the decision, though risky, felt intuitively right.

 

Tiwary is now set to reunite with filmmaker Imtiaz Ali for the upcoming web series O Saathi Re, directed by Arif Ali. The show, described as an intense romantic drama, will also feature Aditi Rao Hydari and Arjun Rampal. While details about his role remain under wraps, the actor’s fans are looking forward to seeing what he brings to the screen in this new collaboration.

 

With a growing body of work and a grounded perspective on his journey, Avinash Tiwary continues to shape a career that reflects both introspection and creative commitment.
