From Real Life To Reel-Life

The First Indian Actor Creates History in Latin American Movie Industry.

- Rashmi Bhargava

This is the story of a real-life hero who came to Costa Rica when there wasn’t even an embassy of Costa Rica in India. He established himself by opening his chain of Indian clothing stores. My first question to him was “why was he so interested in becoming a hero?” He laughed and said, it has been his dream since early childhood and he had never given up on it. With a tinge of sorrow he let on that he always wanted to work in the Bollywood film industry but couldn’t get a break. This led to a lot of strife and struggle in India.

So, then how did you end up in Costa Rica? He responded with a smile “Fate!” Being passionate about Bollywood movies he used to buy Bollywood commercial movies from all his savings for Costa Rican and Central American theatres. But his passion made him broke; nevertheless, his passion was still burning strong in his soul.
