A friend once suggested that I write about the `teamwork' aspect of making a film. Most of you have a vague idea that there are a lot of people involved in the process, but don't really know how many, or what the heck it is that they all do. We actors get the most recognition, followed by producers and directors, music directors and playback singers... but many vital people whoRead more...

If you're like me, you may have heard the phrase `Commonwealth Games' being thrown about these past few weeks. If you're like that guy on TV who gets worked up and shouts a lot, you probably know everything there is to know on this subject, and have extremely strong views on it. Chances are, most of you are somewhere inbetween; you know something bad happened, and everyone's blamingRead more...
BE A FREEDOM FIGHTER. DETAILS INSIDE. 16 Aug 2010 | 330 Views | admin
It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.“ Author unknown. As we celebrate our sixty-third year of Independence, something has occurred to me. Most of us have no clue what it means to not be independent. We were born free, and have always been fortunate enough to take it for granted. We don't know what it's like toRead more...

I was reading a column last week (no, not one of my fellow columnists). The writer was complaining about “smug people“. Those you see in your office who finish their work before the deadline and make you look bad. The fit people who work out regularly and make you look unhealthy. All those damn smug people roaming around trying to show how much better they are than you. Why should they go jogging, groom themselves regularly andRead more...
The Return 19 Jul 2010 | 656 Views | admin
I'm back. Yes, as promised, I have not forsaken you. I took an extended leave of absence for reasons I shall soon go into, but that's all in the past now. I'm here, you're here (well not 'here' where I am 'here', but 'here' somewhere, no doubt. Perhaps even there.) and we're back in business. Ok, explanation time. Where was I?
Here and there, mostly. Things got a little hectic with my shooting and promoting schedule, and I started to feel like I wasn't able to write my columns in a way that satisfied me.

Last week there was a sudden barrage of photographs showing me without a shirt. They were part of the promotions of my next film, titled I Hate Luv Storys, for which I was required to work very hard on my body to develop a certain look. Since then I've received a lot of queries as to how I went about achieving that look. This is in response to all of you who asked, but particularly to one person -- Rahul -- who wrote to me saying that he is very thin and that he would really like to change the way he looks.Read more...
"As actors, we all want our audience to like our work; so even if you ask me this question after five years I will say yes I want to work harder and harder to be loved by my audience."
