Phir dekha kisi Bhojpuri film ka audition chal raha hai. (We used to just enter every place where auditions were taking place. Wherever we would see ‘auditions open, male 22-25’, we used to barge in. Once we were out since the morning and we had decided to give at least one audition before going back home. We saw auditions happening for a Bhojpuri film).”
“Humne darwaza khola pucha fit-not fit. Unhone bola teenon fit ho aajao. Humne audition diya hai, wahi par reject huye hain aur nikal gaye (We opened the door and asked fit-not fit.
