haha! thanks for the cartoon vertebrae!

Well, here's my story. I always wanted to be an actor, specifically bollywood because I love love love dancing and doing those romantic sequences

My dad always wanted me NOT to be an actor because he felt I wouldn't make it.. not because i don't have the skills but because he's a strong believer of luck and somehow he felt I didn't have luck... he always wanted me to be a doctor. I didn't.

For years I struggled with my parents dream and thought it was mine and went to school for premed.. but then I got lost. I changed majors a lot, at the same time suppressing my desire to be on the screen. Went to grad school, got my masters in something else, still not happy and still having this calling. I was 26 when I called my parents and told 'em I'm gonna try acting whether I make it or not, atleast I'll have the satisfaction of knowing that I tried...

Then studied method acting for a small time while I was in US. I'm indian but I've spent most of my life in US.

Now, I've moved to India and want to try bollywood.. frankly I don't mind if its bollywood or hollywood now but I just thought of trying bollywood first somehow because i felt i had an advantage here dont ask me why... But I know I'll want to try hollywood some day as well

don't know if i'm being overambitious or overoptimistic but thats what i want.

I came to do community theatre here in india because first, its in hindi and secondly i wanted some theatre experience that I never got in college or high school because every time i told my parents "okay i am gonna take drama in school" they totally got me against it and brainwashed me and then i'd be back at school, sad, but studying...

So, thats my story

Was your visit to India a vacational thing? are you indian?
