| 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 - |
