!! Wasim Akram Says No To Bollywood !!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Former Pakistani Captain Wasim Akram is still in huge demand as far as Bollywood is concerned… even years after his retirement. The handsome cricketer gets Bollywood offers every few days but he politely turns them down saying,
"Acting is a difficult profession. I have seen cricketers making a debut in films and then doing the vanishing act. I will be truthful that I can't do it."
He doesn't mind being the judge of the cricketer's dance based reality show though, because there is no acting involved there.
"When they asked me to judge the show, I wasn't shocked but my question was why me? Then they said because there are cricketers to be judged, so then I said I'll do it. And then they said Sushmita Sen is also going to judge the show, so then I said I'm on the next flight," he said.
And as a judge he is quite impressed by our boys' performance on stage.
"Performing on stage requires a different pressure, different technique and different temperament. I think these guys have excelled eventually in that…I was amazed by their performance. Though in the beginning they were a little shy, especially Irfan was very shy and very stiff. Also Dinesh Kartik was a bit stiff in the beginning, but eventually they've become incredible. And then I realised if one is talented, then they can do whatever one wants in life," he said.
Indeed… Wish this incredible performance is continues in the field too.
