Vadodara boy
Abhishek Saha, who got to share screen space with
Deepika Padukone in Lafangey Parindey and will be seen next in the upcoming Bollywood flick M.A.D.-Mad About Dance, says that initially, things weren���t rosy for him after he shifted to Mumbai. Shares Abhishek, ���Having completed my schooling in Vadodara, I moved to Mumbai in 2003 to pursue graduation. The bigger goal, however, was to become an actor, although I had no formal training.
Vadodara is a really comfortable city and initially, I felt completely lost in Mumbai. I had to wait till 2005 for my first break in theatre and things were getting frustrating. I have worked as backstage help too, serving tea to actors and taking care of their make-up. There was a time when I felt really depressed and thought of going back after finishing college, as things weren���t working out. However, my very first stage appearance won me an award for the best supporting actor and it did wonders to my confidence.���
