The first time I met Bhamini was after my theatre. It was the strangest game of my life. Because in that game, I enacted 45 minutes of dumb gameplay. Just think, 45 minutes and no words! but it’s one of the best dramas I’ve ever done. Then Bhamini came backstage to meet the actors. I saw him there.
