SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

You know what sucks? Updating when you’re as sleepy as I am. If you hear any snoring during the post, don’t worry about it, it’s just me taking a little nap.

The first post today will revolve around Darsheel Safary (the Taare Zameen Par kid), his interview and me making fun of him. You’re probably wondering shouldn’t a grown-up (technically) be ashamed picking on a little kid? The answer is, no, I’m not.

So let’s see what the brat has to say:

Darsheel, you must be tired of all the praise.
No! In fact you’re the first guy to be asking me this.

So how does it feel?
Nice, very nice. (chuckles).

Don’t you hate arrogant little kids?

What kind of response are you getting [to the movie]?
Everyone is saying, I’m amazing amazing amazing….

Hence the title of the post.

What are the friends in your building saying?
I don’t have any friends in my building.

What about your friends in school?
Right now we’ve vacation. So I’m not in touch with my friends. I didn’t call them for the movie because they’re all gone here and there. I’ll ask them how they liked me when school reopens.

Read: No friends whatsoever.

Do you feel like a star?
Ummmmm….I think so. I had so much fun with my co-stars. You know what? (excitedly) At night after shooting was wrapped up I’d party with my co-stars Tanay Cheda and Sanchet Engineer (who play Darsheel’s best friend and brother, respectively).

The other kids had to sleep at 9 pm. But the three of us partied till 3 am. Aamir Uncle used to get very angry the next morning.

An 11-year-old partying? With what, his teddy bear and a glass of chocolate milk? And hitting on all the hot preschool girls? Score!

How was it working with Aamir?
I had so much fun! He isn’t at all proud. He’s down-to-earth. He doesn’t behave like a big star.

Learn from him, kid.

So do you want to be an actor when you grow up?
I’ll decide when I grow up. Right now I don’t know whether I want to be an actor. Now I just want to study. No more movies for me. Half the day I’m doing my homework and going to school. But (his voice brightens) if I get an offer with Hrithik Roshan I’ll do it.

You’re Hrithik’s fan?
I’m a HUGE Hrithik Roshan fan. I also like Shah Rukh and Aamir.

And actresses?
Overall, I like Kareena Kapoor. But for acting I like Rani Mukherjee. And for expressions I like Aishwarya Rai.

Do I need any more reasons to hate him?

And how do you rate yourself?
Nice very nice. I liked myself. My 6-year old sister cried when she saw the teachers beating me up in the film.

Your sister is a baby.
No she isn’t a baby!

So are you.
(haughtily) I am not a baby, okay?

Whatever you say…baby. Yup, I’m petty like that.
