From Teasing Friends About Acting to Becoming an Actor

I used to tell them, I used to say, “I have to become a hero, I have to become a hero.”

At exam time, everyone would be studying.

But all I wanted was to play cricket. Everyone would keep avoiding me.

“Hey, during exams, if this guy is around, he won’t let us study either.”

Then I’d say, “You want me to study? I’ll be an actor anyway.

I don’t need to study,” just to say it. Just to make them jealous or angry, just to irritate them, I used to keep telling everyone “As an actor, I needn't study.

You study, you study. Study hard.” That’s how I used to tease them.

But somehow, I kept telling people After I finished 10th grade, I went to intermediate school— when I got to intermediate school, I started telling my friends again.

Mm, I told them in college. I told everyone in my family.

Then I told the whole world, everyone. It'd be bad if it didn't happen now, so I said it, and then I became an actor.

Okay.
