Playing the role of a mad person

- I felt like Sanjeev Kumar playing this role. When I was playing the role on stage I was lost in my own world. I had no control of myself.
- I was so much involved in it that I could not feel anyone’s presence
- It felt like someone else was doing it for me.
Preparations

- I have never acted in my life neither did I ever dreamt of it.
- I did not do any preparations for it , I only imagined how a mad person behaves

 

Elimination

- I am glad that I got a second chance but it did not work out for me because of less number of votes.
- I am happy with what has happened now.

Friend Avinash

 

-         I have an orchestra called “ Zakir Hussain Musical Group”. I met Avinash around 8 years back when he had come to play base guitar in my orchestra.
