Sachiin Joshi - The Heir to the King?


People tell you that when you dream, dream big. No point settling on something small when you can conquer the world. Sachiin Joshi takes this to heart. He was passionate about acting and always dreamed of making it big in Bollywood. So who was his idol along the way? Well go re-read the title of this piece and you'll have your answer in a jiffy. Yes. It was Shahrukh Khan, the Badshaah of Bollywood himself. From Deewana to Don 2, Sachiin has followed Shahrukh very closely and is intent on learning as much as possible from the man himself. "Shahrukh Khan was the first 'larger than life' Bollywood superstar. He set the trend for celebrities and has a fan following that can be matched by very few. Each film of his sees him evolve as an actor. But most importantly he has always had that trait of humility ingrained in him," says Sachiin.
High praise for a man who has achieved enough to know what he is talking about. "I've watched all films of Shahrukh and been fortunate enough to spend time with him and know him as a person. He supported me when I debuted in Bollywood in Aazaan and he's always been great," further adds Sachiin.

Sachiin dreams of making it big and one day matching up to the level that SRK has managed to reach. No easy feat and Sachiin knows how difficult a challenge that is. "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be Shahrukh Khan. I want to carve my own image in Bollywood. But if there was a benchmark, it would be him." Sachiin Joshi always picks his words with care. Only time will reveal the legacy, he leaves behind in B-Town.
