They mention him in the film's diary as well... https://www.warshinternational.com/WarshDiary2.html

I'm not sure if it actually made it to the screen though.... but it was submitted..... Gautami's got a film too... that might have been realeased not sure https://www.humayoon.com/merimarzi.html

It was probably while he was in school in in the us for acting. Interestingly enough, look what I found on his acting school's website...

I think below is the acting school he went to, but only he his course in

Stanislawski Method Acting, so the technique might be a bit different. But I love how the school focuses on the eyes and he takes his learnings to another level....... BTW feel free to correct me if I am wrong...(PI isn't my line of work)

"Using the Eyes

Just as the moment of reaction is the most important feature in film acting, the eyes are the most important organ of response. With this in mind, the actor can have a sense of using their eyes effectively. By the same token, lapses in concentration are most profoundly reflected in the eyes.
Use the eyes. An actor may deny the camera their eyes, or let the camera find their eyes for effect, and the player might want to know where their eye light is, the specific fixture called a "Tweeny," so that they can catch that light with their eyes, or, much less frequently, use the shadow on the eyes.
Keep the gaze steady. It's usually preferable to maintain stillness with the eyes. For this reason, while it's normal in life to look back and forth and down at both of someone's eyes and their mouth, it is probably best for an actor to maintain the attention on only one of the opposite characters eyes when addressing them. When it is the actor's single shot, and the other actor is opposite them standing next to the camera, it's best to look at this actor's eye that is closest to the lens.
When doing a scene with more than one person, it's probably better to keep watching the person who is speaking. In this way the editor has a steady look to use for a character absorbing what is happening. That means not doing what is normal and throwing looks frequently at the other person being spoken to, checking in with their reactions to what is being said, unless it's for a singularly important reaction to what was just presented.

Flash looks

On the other hand, it can be good to dart periodic, reactive looks at people and events so that the editor can use these as a way to cut to said people and events.
Note: It has been advised by some that an affective film technique to convey power is not to blink during a shot. While this might be true, the technique of not blinking is a peculiar skill that probably demands more self-conscious attention, undermining one's power, than it's worth. Worth it or not, going without blinking for long periods will go from conveying power to conveying creepiness."

To the forums leaders, if this is a repeat post, feel free to close... and sorry :(.

it's from the movie...devaki....didn't you know the lovemaking practice article...he had practice onscreen...let me see if I can find you a link

https://www.sulekha.com/movies/moviehomepage.aspx?cid=306829

there is a seven year difference between the movies. The first was filmed in 1998 and the second late 2005 or early 2006....

and the first probably the directors first film either fresh out of or still in maybe Ram's film school in Cali...

The pic of Ram as Re reminded me of Rex the guy who stood third in fame gurukul. They look alike if Ram sports a beard.

NO WONDER HE'S SOOOOOOO GOOD WITH HIS EYES. I THOUGHT HIS EYES WERE GENERALLY EXPRESSIVE,BESIDES BEING REALLY REALLY CUTE (PUPPY DOG EYES) BUT NOW I SEE THAT HE HAS BEEN TAUGHT HOW TO MAKE HIS EYES TALK (HOW TO BE EXPRESSIVE)HE CAN CONVEY A THOUSAND WORDS/EMOTIONS THROUGH HIS EYES WITHOUT EVEN OPENNING HIS MOUTH.

I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHATEVER THE ARTICLE SAYS IS QUITE TRUE IN RAM'S CASE, HE NEVER BLINKS WHEN HE PORTRAYS POWER, OR ANGER, THAT GIVES HIM AN EDGE, GIVES HIM MORE ATTITUDE, IN THE SILENT JAI WALIA SCENEC WHERE HIS OH SOOO CLASSY BACKGROUND MUSIC PLAYS. BUT WHEN HE'S TALKING TO SUM1 REALLY EMOTIONALLY AND SYMPATHETICALLY, HE TENDS TO LOWER HIS EYES AND BLINK OCCASSIONALLY, THIS SHOWS HIS CONSIDERATE SIDE.

ANYWAY I DIDNT HAVE A CLUE TO WHAT METHOD ACTING WAS ALL ABOUT, AND I DIDNT REALLY THINK IT MADE A DIFFERENCE, BUT I GUESS I WAS WRONG, RAM IS A FINE ACTOR, AND I GUESS METHOD ACTING IS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO.
