And he *still* made that scene look good. But then, I already love him. ;-)ajnabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296593338690811213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-52237063441787505072008-06-10T08:43:00.000-07:002008-06-10T08:43:00.000-07:00Have you seen Dus Kahaniyaan?

There is some English, ofcourse, but the reference to Naseer's chin (or lack thereof) is made by <A HREF="http://livinggallery.oneindia.in/d/13384-2/raza-murad.jpg" REL="nofollow">Raza Murad</A> in Urdu. Apparently when Naseer first came to Bombay to become an actor, he stayed with Raza Murad's uncle. The uncle was astonished at Naseer's ambition and wondered aloud how he could become an actor as he had no chin!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-37501527954351716202008-06-09T23:41:00.000-07:002008-06-09T23:41:00.000-07:00Have to admit that I have never been able to under...Have to admit that I have never been able to understand the appeal of Monsoon Wedding inspite of Naseer. But, he is a consistently good actor at everything he attempts. Inspite of being a troublemaker at the film Institute, Pune, (check out Shyam Benegal's interview at <A HREF="http://rajshri.com/startv/startalk/nowplaying.asp?type=subtitle&band=low&fileID=startalktalk63" REL="nofollow">Star Talk</A> for interesting facts about Naseer's early career) and <A HREF="http://rajshri.com/zee/jeena/nowplaying.asp?type=subtitle&band=low&fileID=jeenaNon17" REL="nofollow">having no chin</A> he can play the romantic lead like no other! <BR/><BR/>I was lucky enough to see him in a play at Bombay. He played Mahatma Gandhi in the play (Gandhi Viruddh Gandhi) and made a great Gandhi! I believe the play was later made into the movie Gandhi My Father!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-35648340533765184082008-06-09T20:06:00.000-07:002008-06-09T20:06:00.000-07:00I haven't seen much Naseer, so I'm commenting only...I haven't seen much Naseer, so I'm commenting only to say that <I>Monsoon Wedding</I> is one of my favoritest movies ever.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.com
