Live Life with Creativity & Curiosity | Dhruv Sehgal | Varun Duggi | Take aPause

There’s never been a time in human history when we as a species have been as “connected” as we are now. Social media pervades almost every aspect of our lives. And yet, writer Dhruv Sehgal confesses that the need to actively engage with the world is something that he feels less and less everyday. Because there is an abundance of mostly irrelevant information being thrown our way every minute, that we have very little desire or energy left to build connections that really matter.
In this episode of Take aPause, Varun Duggi sits down for a heartfelt chat with actor and writer Dhruv Sehgal on the rigours of the writing process, developing discipline, harnessing “boredom” to find inspiration, and building real connections in a world saturated with content.
Writer, actor, and director Dhruv Sehgal is best known for his work on the mini series Little Things – as actor, creator, and head writer. He also won the Golden Gateway Dimensions Mumbai Award at the Mumbai Film Festival for his short film Kunal in 2016. He has written, acted and directed comedy sketches for Filter Copy.

Dhruv Sehgal is an Indian actor, writer, and director. He is the actor and mind behind the fabulous show ‘Little Things’. He recently worked on the Indian adaptation of ‘Modern Love’, an anthology series.
