Friends Sharing a Laugh - Sachiin & Harpreet!

Its the opinion of the man conducting the photo shoot. "He looks great on camera. I've shot Sachiin a few times now and its been a great experience. The guy is one of the most humble people i know. And because he looks so good on camera, it rubs off well on me too," says Harpreet Baccher with a smile. Harpreet is Sachiin's chosen photographer and good friend. "I've known Harpreet for a while now. He's an awesome guy and one of the first people i run to when i need advice. He's been an ever present in my Bollywood journey so far," says Sachiin Joshi. Undoubtedly a friendship to treasure. And boy is Harpreet a valuable source when it comes to getting information on Mr. Joshi. "Sachiin is one of the biggest shopaholics i know. From shades to clothes, this guy is an avid collector. If you run through his closet, you'll find brands like D&G and River Island. When you ask him where he picked the latest pair up from, he'll reply with a look of incredulity. It just implies that he doesn't know the answer. His philosophy is simple - If you like it, buy it. The rest is history," reveals Harpreet. Sachiin laughs on hearing these accusation thrown at him. "Harpreet is exaggerating. Check the brands that this man has on him and you'll be left amazed. It's quite ironic that he shares such a story about me," replies Sachiin. Well we can't be sure of the truth. But boy do these guys have a go at each other. In between the jokes is mutual appreciation and a strong bond between to men who do their jobs brilliantly. There isn't more to be said, is there?

Talk about leaving a mark when it matters the most. The evening was graced by some of Bollywood's biggest film stars including the legendary Rekha, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Vidya Balan, Kajol, Kareena Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Bipasha Basu. Dressed in a smart black blazer, Sachiin cut quite a figure on the red carpet.For a man who has already seen the highs of international events like the Cannes Film Festival, such events still give him jitters. Expectedly, he was ecstatic on receiving the award. "I'm honored and proud. Aazaan has left it's mark world over, from Cannes to Bollywood.

Sachiin to work with Milla Jovovich?

Bollywood has evolved over the decades into an industry which is more demanding. Critics are waiting for an opportunity to write you off and the continuous emergence of new talent means establishing yourself has never been more difficult. So how does a Bollywood newbie view this challenge? “As a newcomer, I have to do what I’m here to do. Put in good performances onscreen as the audience needs to  accept and appreciate you first. Critics are always difficult to please. So stick to believing in yourself,” says Sachiin Joshi. “There’s no doubt that Bollywood has changed a lot. The influence of the West is also quite profound in a lot of our movies. We look to spend a lot more on special effects and the overall packaging of the film. Consider Aazaan, we spent a bomb on choreography and locations. But in the end it was worth it,” he continues. With a few films already lined up for 2012, we ask Sachiin if Hollywood ever crosses his mind. “Well Bollywood is being recognized on a global level and that’s great to see. So, why not? Maybe one day I’ll be seen opposite Milla Jovovich,” he cheekily adds. If you didn’t know it, Sachiin is a huge fan of the Resident Evil star. For the time being however, Sachiin is enjoying Bollywood but you can never tell what the future holds.

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.
