Well we met and started interacting… in other words orkutting. I really can’t comment what impression I had on them but among them for sure Swati impressed me…After all she had a story with her. I also want to add that the day at ansals after knowing that these guys are up to a movie I seriously tried hard to impress them with all forms of acting I knew from these many years of experience…As if they are casting coordinators taking audition for a Yash Raj Banner…Lolz.
So after a week of interaction via orkut Ms. Shalini ordered me to drop in at Safdarjung Enclave as there’s some kind of skit happening and they’re still searching for a female actor. The order was quite tempting for someone like me who’s been on leave from acting since long…Aah. Was scared and even though I said yes to her initially I gave a second thought to it and planned that I will not visit them. Acting according to me needs to be practiced it’s a learning process…I was out of touch for long. The professionals there will notice this… its better I should not go. I had these thoughts running in my mind and then Kartik called and asked “how many more minutes?” I could not resist the pressure and finally visit them.
As soon as I entered the room Ankur Sir briefed me about the role and asked me to do it.
Ufff…well I did whatever I thought should be the best and then he said great going, indeed I had now three different roles to portray. With just one day of rehearsal I was on track… and then I met Piyush as well who was also their in the skit. I noticed that while rehearsing Piyush is the only one who enjoys my performance the most. We were to perform for Hp’s Marcom meet name of our production “Shamshan.com” Written & Directed By: Ankur Suman. We were still searching for our dear Lalaji in the play…and Shalini introduced Naveen. So with just 2days of rehersals we staged “Shamshan.com” at Bristol…Gurgaon. We did well…how can I say that…well my director was happy and his client even remembered our names…So I can still act.
Then Shalini told me about the auditions happening for “City of Djinns” and we were introduced to “Dramatech” a theatre group for IIT Delhi as well by Ankur sir’s reference.
So we did “Chainpur ki Daastan” with Dramatech. We bole toh Kartik, Naveen, Piyush and me.
Shalini by the time had left for Chandigarh…her new Job Place…JWT; she’s a copywriter by profession.
Okay too many short stories…huh but you have to bear them all these are adding flavors to the making.
So we did Chainpur.
Along with it we decided to enroll for Barry John Acting School just to get ourselves evaluated as actors. Ourselves…initially we were 3...Piyush, Naveen and me. Then in the admission lists it was just me and Naveen. And after our first 4 classes it was only me…Naveen went London…office. He returned before results.
Meanwhile I spent 48Hrs from a day daily on City of Djinns…okay among all of us…just me and Kartik were there in Djinns. We were forced to work real hard by our dear Director Rudra Sir
