.@SagarRadia has played the fast-talking trader Rishi Ramdani for four seasons on the lurid banking drama ‘Industry.’ A supremely abrasive yet fan-favorite character slightly older than the recent grads who surround him at a London-based investment firm, Rishi spent most of the first season delivering an incessant stream of lewd commentary — “He’s a limp-dick analyst, but he has a view”; “I don’t wanna see anything else apart from his balls” — on the trading floor.
After season one, Radia had sat down with the show’s creators, Konrad Kay and Mickey Down. and explained his concerns about getting stuck in a minor part. “We fell in love with his swagger,” they said. “Rishi’s confidence as an orator and wise-cracker informed Sagar, and it was a kind of virtuous cycle where Sagar grew until we knew we could saddle him with a huge episode like ‘White Mischief.’”
A standout season-three episode, “White Mischief,” chronicles his attempts to assimilate into life in the British countryside and shrug off a massive gambling debt. Growing up among other children of immigrants, Radia knew men like Rishi, who chased their way into unforgiving institutions and high-earning jobs. “His confidence, his bravado, his jokes, were his way of allowing everyone else to feel comfortable around him,” says Radia. “It’s a defense mechanism. If they see any weakness, it can be taken advantage of.”
“He was so fun to play,” he said, “because I’m certainly not that guy. I never was that guy.”

Today on the bus, I saw a woman who was clearly pregnant maybe 5-6 months along, she asked a guy for his seat because she looked really unwell and was holding her stomach. He replied “Well, you want equality, you can stand." She immediately threw up on him. And his phone. And the edge of his jacket. The pure shock and disgust on his face was honestly so satisfying 😭😭 (I gave her my seat btw)
Some days I think that my sugar is getting really out of control… but then I remember I’m not a smoker or using drugs. So I’m going to buy my sheet cake and pack of Haribos a day for a week and keep put moving.
