I've been acting for about 12 years now but yesterday was my biggest challenge as an actor. I feel it'd be a challenge for any actor, to be honest.
Doing romantic and cute scenes is something Bollywood is famous for but yesterday when I had to really dig deep into my past and hit my internal memory of losing a loved one to cultivate the feeling of departure,being hurt and not seeing someone again ; it really shook me. I've done the same endless number of times in plays but the thing with screen acting is that you have to be in that zone for a long time, exposed to strange people, completely live in your own world while a part of subconscious mind is following the orders of your director. I was in tears for good 2 hours before and after my shots were done.
It was challenging and screen acting is one hell of a task but it feels like I accomplished something and hence want to share it with my steemit family and all the other amazing actors and storytellers out here.
