Character Artist

Off the routine, via a mutual friend, met this well built guy from Rajasthan. A year elder to me, soft spoken by nature, he shared his struggle in Bollywood. A decade into industry he has worked as bouncer, model,graphic designer,choreographed ramp walks and supplied bouncer on film sets. All the time dreaming to be an actor these odd jobs helped him earn food and shelter in dream city. For when he failed to do so he has survived on vada pav and foot path. Finally he has worked in some small roles in big movies and big roles in small movies.

His ultimate goal: to work in a big role in big movie, but in a negative lead.
When asked why? His answer was simple, without God father/cash I cannot sustain positive lead roles
