I've been fortunate! |
|
I worked with
cinema legends like Raj Kapoor
and Satyajit Ray. How
privileged I was that these two great |
film-makers chose to cast me in their
films! One in mainstream commercial cinema - and the other in art |
cinema! And both at the same time! |
An actor couldn't
ask for more! |
|
There were other auteur extraordinaires
like Mrinal Sen, Subhash Ghai,
Ramesh Sippy, Conrad Rooks |
many more..who elevated my experiences as
an actor.. |
|
|
|
But its also true I was here before my
|
time. I was too westernized then, and
|
Bollywood was not what it is today. |
|
I craved for bound scripts...
|
Wished films could be made at
one |
stretch... |
|
I yearned for more professionalism. |
For punctuality.
|
|
I was desperate for make-up vans in |
|
|
|
|
|
I longed to share my work arena with people I could vibe with. ITS ALL HERE NOW!
|
|
|
I acted in over 50 films... |
(can't even remember them all!) |
|
I won hundreds of awards... |
(nowhere to keep all of them!)
|
|
And yet... |
|
After all these years...and films..
|
|
Just a handful remain - |
