00:00I did not have the marks, so I went after school to my grandmother, my grandfather, who was asking me
00:08to ask me, I want to become a waiter, I'm saying, why not, you do anything, small or small, but
00:16whatever you do, become the best of the world, I don't try to do it, become the best of the
00:23world, become the best of the world, become the best of the world, become the best of the world, become
00:24the best of the world, so I'm straight, but yes, this was the footnote extra.
00:30She said, associate with the best, and make good friends, it's very important, so I also went to Taj Mahal
00:42Hotel, the best, it wasn't such a great hotel, but I didn't feel bad, I took the name of Taj
00:48Mahal, I went to Taj Mahal Hotel, and I was standing there, and there was a Parsi Baba Ji manager,
00:57Sam Bhada, remember the name,
00:58Sam Bhada, Sam Bhada, which department do you want to join, I practiced the interview for the whole night,
01:10Sam Bhada, who said, may I say, deep voice, may I say, with an accent, I said, I'd like to
01:16join the food and beverage department, guess what he told me, hey, drop the accent, drop the accent, and speak
01:27in your natural voice,
01:28what is he basically saying, don't put on an act, be yourself, do not try to impress people with fakeness,
01:39people see through fakeness, I learned that lesson in every role that I play today,
01:43I tried to be the character, not to impress with my acting, then he told me, which department do you
01:50want to join, idiot,
01:51I said, rendezvous restaurant, rendezvous, the French restaurant, the most expensive restaurant in India, on the rooftop of Taj,
02:01I said, yes, guess what he said, very good, and he taught me a new word that day, which I
02:07mentioned a little earlier in the panel discussion,
02:09when I was sitting with Amritaji and, and, and, and there's wonderful people, that word, even Shashi Tharu does not
02:14know, the English word,
02:17you know the word, he said, you want something, and if you don't want anything, you don't have a story
02:24to tell,
02:25can you believe it, you want something, right, he says, great, you want to join now, I said, yes, sir,
02:36he said, join now,
02:38go to the basement, you idiot, I said, but the rendezvous, rooftop restaurant, he said, son, there are no magic
02:49bullets,
02:50there are no shortcuts, go to the basement, and work yourself up, all the way, and pay your dues.
