I almost got a small (or perhaps not) role in a Bollywood film. They're shooting it today while I write this account of it.



In the last year, I have auditioned for and lost several parts in television advertisements and films. That’s something I understand is a part of the journey of being an actor and so I don’t get the least bit affected by it anymore.



In September 2012, I auditioned for a part in a mainstream, and reportedly low-budget, Hindi cinema (also known as a Bollywood) film. I am not going to reveal names because that’s just not going to be good sense on my part.



I believe the part was a small one because I do audition for these parts as an extra from time to time. And there’s usually the same crowd of people every time you go to one of these auditions. Some of us recognize each others’ faces even though we may not talk much to each other.
