#Repost @officialhumansofbombay “My dad was a self made man. He’d struggled to get where he was & didn’t want the same fate for me. So he’d set everything up for me. He’d paved the way, I just had to walk it–I had to take over the business. But I had other plans. I dabbled in a lot of things to find my passion. And when I tried my hand my acting, I realised this was it. So I decided to pursue it further. But I realised I knew nothing about cinema. We were raised in a household where films were a waste of time. After a failed attempt at getting a seat at FTII, I went back to Hyd & enrolled myself into a 3 month long acting workshop. I had to prepare myself to apply to FTII again & I was determined to get in. When I got the acceptance letter, it was a bittersweet moment for me. But I hadn’t told my dad yet. I’d decided to slip away when he was on a business trip. I couldn’t ask for any more money because I was ashamed that I had already tried & failed at so many things. But I owed him an explanation. I called him but the only answer I received was that I should leave before he was back. So I borrowed the tuition money from a friend & left. I missed home, but spending hours in the auditorium catching up on the years of cinema I had missed kind of made it okay. The reality check came when I moved to Bombay. Like everyone who struggles here, I was living in a tiny room with a few of my classmates. I didn’t have any contact with my dad after the day I left. Even when I was in the hospital, I didn’t want him to know. Which is why, I didn’t tell anyone else either. My first paycheck from an ad went into those hospital bills. I knew it would be a long time until I made peace with him–still, I wanted him to understand why I was doing this. So, I wrote a letter to my dad telling him that I was doing what he had done–making my own way. A few years later, Rangrezz happened. And I heard back from my dad. He had read about me in the local paper & had gone to watch the film. When we met, he gave me the ticket stubs. Those tickets are my most priceless possession till today. It’s a reminder that like my dad, I took the road less traveled & that made all the difference”
