”
Naseer Sahab always talks about his mind.
There is no pretense and I feel it’s good quality to have.
He treats all equal people and honesty.
I learned from him that you should not instruct your co-actor.
You accept whatever they offer.
It gives and receives the truth.
”
On Teacher’s Day, the actress told her students in FTII and the legendary impact of Naseer Sahab as a teacher.
Naseer Sahab was part of the faculty of visits when Rasika Dugal studied in the film and Indian television institute (FTII).
While the world knows his skills, through some very interesting anecdotes, Rasika gives us insight into Naseeruddin Shah, Teacher.
In a conversation with Bombay time, he shared valuable lessons from his famous teacher that he continued to appreciate.
The actress remembers, “We are very happy that Naseer Sahab can take our time and teach.
Rarely for actors who work to take the time to teach.
What I found unique about him is the fact that he is a good teacher as an actor, who is It’s rare.
Usually it’s one or the other.
Acting and teaching are two muscles that are very different but they are able to navigate them.
Great actors and teachers who are very focused.
”
The actress shares the teaching process and its impact has it as a student.
He explained, “He has a set process he will follow with us.
We have several workshops with him which lasts for 15 days throughout the year.
This pattern is what he has designed.
You will not find this process in any book.
We Very amazed that many of us were at the institute because people like him, Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bachchan was an alumni.
Every student nervous in front of him and we all want to maximize our time with him to understand as much as we can.
”
Citing Citing, Rasika added, “Some of the things I learned from these sessions are very basic for my craft.
I hold it as a golden rule.
To give you an example, I learn from it that you should not instruct your co-actor.
You accept Whatever they offer.
Suppose a joint actor changes the line or says it differently, you don’t stop it and say, ‘Hey, you’ve said the wrong line’.
You accept what they give in that scene.
It’s simple but very important.
When someone throws something new to you and you adapt to him, that’s what actually gives and accepts.
And it’s not yours other than the director’s task to control the scene.
You just need to be alert and be there for your cartar.
It’s easy to say things This but he taught us to execute it.
”
After a short break, he explained, “said Naseer Sahab once said in class, that if you want to really listen to your Costar in the scripted scene, then you must learn other people’s lines too.
When he gave this instruction, I felt Strange.
But when I started working, I understood that meaning.
I took a short film called ‘Miniaturist Junagadh with him, which was my first professional interaction with him in Mumbai after FTII.
What happened in an interesting set.
He asked me, “Line Tumko Yaad Hi, Na? “I said,” Tuan, Aapki Bhi Yaad Hi (smile).
“He laughed because he himself taught us.
He enthusiastically knew things and continued to renew his knowledge.
He read items in several languages And find references that can lend meaning to the writing of uninterrupted characters, he might have enacted, it is very inspiring.
This is what is the detailed way.
”
Aside from being a good actor, Naseruddin Shah is a socially conscious artist, who always talks about his mind.
And that’s the most inspiring about him believing the actress.
Remove it as one of his life lessons, he said, “He always talks his mind.
There is no pretense and I feel it’s good quality to have.
Others who have this quality are Nandita Das and I have the opportunity to work with it also in Manto .
They don’t believe in hierarchies.
They treat all the same people and honesty.
