Insaan zindagi main baRe drame kerta hai - aur jawani main kuch ziyada hi.
When I was 19, I gave an audition at the Karachi Arts council for acting. To imitate India, Pakistani actors were getting serious about formal training in acting. To make a story short, I was selected (which I never pursue after a few classes). The first lecture was from actor Talat Hussain. On that day, I realized he is indeed an actor of high caliber with a depth of knowledge in literature and human emotions. On that day, he said a beautiful thing.
"Actor's biggest obstacle is the fourth wall. An actor on stage has three walls around him but there is an unseen wall between him and an audience. You need to learn to break that wall and connect with your audience. That's the only skill you might need all your life even if you are not an actor. You will need this everywhere. This skill of connecting with the soul and psyche of your audience to strike the cord is the essence of your success".
