A Sonnet of Heresy

The world's a stage…

I have always believed that acting is fun. It is the easiest job… easier than being a politician. And I would like to believe that I have acted my entire life… literally. And then there were those crazy short films in college… courtesy my good old friend Victor!

But then I was quick to realize that I am bad with diction. I was at least realistic enough to understand that by god's grace I could never make it on face value! So Johnny Lever or Paresh Rawal were idols. J But of late Emraan Hashmi has suddenly become a favorite. Guess why?

Well… first I think he just rocks. He has got the only reasonable hit this year while Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar failed to create any magic with their Superstar Akshay and King Khan attitudes. So Emraan really is a star.

Plus… testimonies that he look like me… well... they say I sometimes look like him... I dunno how. But quite a few says. Here's a chat with a friend:

Shreyoshi: u thr?

me: hmm

Shreyoshi: i made a discovery

Emraan Hashmi suddenly looks like a star to me ;-)

What do you say? Well you can't deny the first reason at least.

In the meantime I think I will bury my on screen acting aspirations. Acting in real life is quite challenging. And as a good friend once said "I don't need to act in front of camera… I do enough off it" I will rest my case.
