A personal story on Shyam Benegal.
First, the caption: clicked on auto mode in a friend’s SLR camera & tripod. My elder brother Biren (25) & me (19) with SB, 3 of us sitting on a double sit in his Tardeo office. 1990.
We went to Bombay to try to meet our fav artists.
1/7 Image We were nobodies from a small town in Gujarat and weren’t bothered by the heavy odds against our ‘mission’. Super-impressed by ‘Bharat: Ek Khoj’ we found SB’s address and reached his flat. The maid opened the door and kindly said we can leave a message.
