I have some trivia to add ...
I was hired as an extra in the movie Gandhi. I am there in the crowd scene, where Gandhi burns the passes given by the British to Indians and blacks. Later Gandhi gets beaten up and arrested.
I am almost invisible. Even I cannot spot myself. But the experience was good but very strenuous also. The filming was in May (at Fergusson College, Pune) in the hot sun. We were made to stand in the hot sun for almost 2 days while the shots were taken. But it was cery nice to meet and shake hands with Sir Richard Attenborough, Ben Kingsley, Amrish Puri, etc.
