Meet with Mr. Anupam Kher
As Paulo Coelho(a renowned novelist) rightly said that when you really want to do something or wish for something from heart, The whole universe conspires to help you achieve that OR to make it happen. I am a strong believer of this fact as i have experienced it umpteen times in the coarse of my life.
Since College time, i had interest in film-making, cinematography, story telling etc and due to this interest and urge , i started this movie review blog in 2005 during my college days and named it as YaggiDirector.blogspot.com with the desire that i will direct at least movie in my lifetime to leave a impact on society and whenever i will write on this blog, the name of the blog "yaggidirector" will make me feel like a self proclaimed director and help me write it with the spirit of a movie director.
Meeting Mr. Kabir Bedi (known for his comedy roles in films like 'Chashme Buddoor' and TV serials 'Shrimaan Shrimati' and 'Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi' and 'Yes Boss') and Mr. Anupam Kher personally (name itself speaks about his achievements in film industry) and talking to him, was like a dream come true for a person who has fascination of film making. It was like a reward for me of my self initiative work of 10 years (2005 to 2015) on this blog. Also getting a chance to watch him acting live for 3 hours in his most hit theater show "Mera Wo Matlab Nahi Tha" which was already sold out in DC and but got a call just 2 hours before the show from one of well wisher and guide, saying that i have one extra ticket as my wife got some other plans today, Would you like to join me for the show -- It was like a miracle happening for my ears. The Universe was conspiring to help me and get what i wish for.
Below is the brief excerpt of talk with Anupam Kher Saab.
Me - Kamaal ki acting hai sir aapki, There are many more to name but 'A Wednesday' is one of my favorite.
Anupam Kher Saab (AK) - Thank you. Kya karte hain aap?
Me - Waise, i m an Engineer.. but since 2005, i also have a Movie blog named http://yaggidirector.blogspot.com and write Movie reviews once in a while due to my interest in film-making and story telling process.
AK - Achcha, Kya naam hai aapka?
Me - Yagya Datt Sharma
AK - Naam to aurr bhi achcha.... (Laughters around...)
This was a small interaction but the feeling was un-expressible for the person who look at him kind of role model in that field.
