An unusual Cab ride
One of the best things I love about my life is that I get to travel to different places and hence I get to meet different kinds of people. So today I was in Indore and was returning back to my hotel in an Ola Cab. I am generally very chatty with all the drivers, so we started talking. His name was Feroze Khan and he is from Indore. When I asked him about his life and work as a driver, he told me that he owns two cabs in Indore and since his driver was on leave, he did not want to lose money and ended up driving the car himself. But the truth is that he in fact lives in Mumbai and had come to Indore for his niece's wedding.
He told me that he also has two cabs in Mumbai. And then the story became very interesting. Feroze Had interest in Acting So he did theatre in Indore. Ran few businesses in transport domain and also a factory but his heart was in Mumbai. So five years ago, Feroze ran away to Mumbai and became Romy Khan, did a six months course in Direction from a training academy at 4 Bunglows. He is now a legit Film Director, had made few short films, and two full length low budget films.
Short film is called Question Mark
His Latest one is called Sanjana, which is a horror film.
Rights of this films are bought over by Reliance JIO and Eros I guess !He also has a YouTube channel called Romy Khan Productions having 24K subscribers as well.He writes and directs the films and lives in Andheri East.He is working very hard to make it in the city he calls “Maya Nagari”.
His kids and wife live in Indore, a son and a daughter and he wants them to study for Collector ship. I told him that I once taught at LBSNAA and his kids have to write UPSC to qualify for the IAS. He has promised to keep in touch and meet me when he will come to Pune. I told him that in case he needs a middle age actor, am rt there ??
I wished him luck when my ride ended and I hope he makes good at Bollywood and his kids live their own dream too.Whether they become IAS or not is immaterial because
