I love the Adrenaline rush
May 5th, 2009 by JACKKY BHAGNANI
Sometimes while you are pushing yourself to the limit, you suddenly
end up discovering that there is so much more you would love to do,
and you haven’t even thought about it yet. It is very beautifully
written “your goal should be your ultimate focus but do not ignore all
the little pleasures that come your way while you are on the journey
to your goal”
All the time when I wanted to become a actor, I went about learning
techniques and arts that I thought would be important for me since I
wanted to become an actor.
Adventure sports is one such lesson turned passion. Let me tell you a
little about all that I learned before I go to my experiences.
· 6 week course in Dirt Bike Riding and Maneuvering Cables in
Australia and
· 6 week course in Elementary Stunt Training with John Mayo, L.A
You know I have so often experienced this, I learn everything and then
I think okay I am prepared to do this and then when the moment comes I
literally freeze for a couple of seconds. It’s the intensity of the
moment, the realization that “okay the moment has come”.
One of those moments was my bungee Jumping scene in Kal Kissne Dekha.
It was a seven to eight seconds sequence where I had to leap from a
height of 730ft which is about 74 floors (its bloody high) from the
Auckland, Sky Tower. Yes, it was the same tower where our very own
Indian Cricketers, Sachin Tendulkar, Harbajan Singh and others were
taking a stroll on the sky walk and I am thinking, “what have I got
myself into?” the easy way out would have been to use a stunt double.
I was so scared, I admit it, it was almost depressing as two words
kept repeating in my brain which were “darpok hero”.
Then I take the leap, I finally ended up jumping, it was the most
liberating feeling I have ever experienced. It’s amazing how it feels
when you just let go off all your fears, it’s like liberation running
through your veins. But once I touch down, I was told that “The camera
did’t come on ” and had to do the whole bungee jumping two
more times. Third one was to get a perfect expression.
Things may be seem difficult and scary but there’s no use in just
wondering how dangerous it could be, what you need to do is go out and
do it. You might just end up loving it. After all what happens and how
things turn out no one really knows, Kal Kissne Dekha!
Love

Tell yourself “I CAN DO IT” and nothing is impossible :)
May 1st, 2009 by JACKKY BHAGNANI
A
s a child I was very shy, I always kept myself in a very secure circle. I kept to my family; my social circle throughout school never went beyond that. One of the reasons I was so private was because of my weight, I was struggling at a 130 K.Gs. I was constantly made fun of by my cousins and class mates. I had no confidence and very low self esteem.
The day I decided that I had to fight with my mind and body, it made me get up and move but it was only 1% of the success gained. It was a relentless fight to achieve the 99% of the fight. Through the process of training, I discovered that there was this entire side to me that lay hidden because of my inhibitions. As I got closer to my goal, I gained confidence; I could now do things I only dreamt of doing. My real self came out; I was no longer the shy boy I used to be but a man who had the courage to conquer his dreams.
The only thing I really give myself credit for is that I never complained I followed my goal single mindedly, and anyone out there trying to achieve anything should go at their goal with a firm head. Tell yourself, “I can” and the day you really believe it “you can”.
Never give up easily, you never know, how far success is. Like someone rightly said, “Kal Kissne Dekha”.

This is my journey till now in short :)
April 28th, 2009 by JACKKY BHAGNANI
Hey Guys, to kick off my first blog I thought id quickly take u thru my journey right upto tis moment, so we can get better acquainted / catch up.
My story starts as a generously plump kid n im talking ‘hiding pizzas behind my curtain’ fat!!! Growing up for me was all about expanding size and not really developing much self confidence…thus succumbing to become a favorite target for much ridicule. It so wasn’t fun, trust me!
It was at 16 that I decided to do away with being a “Nobody”. I joint hands with Pa / my dad and worked under his guidance. For those of u who don’t know him - he’s Mr. Vashu Bhagnani, producer of many super hit Hindi films.He has made films like coolie no.1 to biwi no.1 etc I assisted dad wit 6 of his films - Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein, Deewanapan, Silsile, Out Of Control, Vaada and Shaadi No. 1. Working on these movies taught me every aspect of a film right from technical details to acting. I interacted with people from all walks of life and unaware gained so much exposure and know how.
Being on the sets, subconsciously I developed a secret desire to become an actor. A joke at the time considering I weighed 130 Kgs….imagine if I told anyone….Dont worry, I was podgy but not stupid….I kept my secret desire to myself :o) But that craving for pizza was now replaced by dreams of being in front of the camera. I aggressively began to work on myself. Nothing prepared me for the struggle up ahead. My only weapons were my determination and my passion to reach my goal.
Stringent diets and rigorous work outs helped me shed the kilos. Knowing perfectly well that a fine body is not all it takes to be a good actor amongst today’s pool of talent…I began developing and enhancing my acting and dancing skills.
Post Graduation, I went on to earn a diploma from the reputable Lee Strasberg Institute of Theatre and Film in New York where classic celebrities such as Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro and Angelina Jolie among others have studied. I would definitely recommend tis school to all of u out there who wish to tap the creative artist inside of u and find ur own unique identity and voice along with havin a blast ofcourse ; )
I was MAD enough to learn the ropes of performing stunts too. Brutal falls (ouch), severe wounds (Ouch, OUCH!) and 2 courses of 6 weeks each in Dirt Bike Riding & Cable Maneuvering in Australia and Elementary stunt training in L.A. I dont know i have managed to be descent enough atleast but it was so much fun doing all that
Im an absolute adrenaline junky by the way… I will go into volumes about that in my next blog…..
I must tell you I LOVE DANCING too. My friends call me ‘Chaabi ka Bandar.’ I cant blame ‘em..…If u ever catch me somewhere….watch closely coz Il surely be dancing :o) To pursue my passion, back in Bombay I took up quite a few dance workshops in different styles and improvised and mastered each step.
By 2007, I modestly state - I was in good enough shape physically mentally and emotionally . My father was was finally convinced of my conviction and that was a compliment in itself. Together we worked on numerous scripts, met with many directors, did our share of R&D on many projects and eventually at the end of the yr found the perfect script in Kal Kisne Dekha (KKD) and the right chemistry to work with Director, Vivek Sharma.
The script in itself demanded an ideal mixture of Thrill, Romance, Emotion, Action, Comedy, basically overall valuable Entertainment….Thus extracting much from an actor’s performance. [ Il let you be the judge on tis one
he he he ]
The making of KKD commenced on 18th of June, 2008. We executed a non-stop, lengthy schedule in the beautiful landscape of South Africa. We managed to complete 60% of the film shooting in this first program. The rest of the film was shot in scattered parts of the world depending on the demand of the scene. Action sequences in Bangkok, College snapshots in India, Glorified songs in New Zealand all followed to complete the movie in January 2009. Shooting the movie opened a whole new world for me. Every day was a learning curve; I shot some exciting concepts that tested my stunt training capacity to the fullest like jumping off a cliff… PHEW!!!… I had the pleasure of working with a veteran actor such as Rishi Kapoor and imbibed much from his experience.
Soooo……After losing 60 kgs of weight, narrowing down to a waist of 29” from 44”, going from being the shy guy to the “up for any challenge” guy and after all not the pushed over one anymore…..NOW MY FILMS READY!!!… n Im ANXIOUSLY anticipating its release!!!
So heres my story so far…. from now on I hope we’ll walk through it together…
Till then adios be good and i shall catch up with you guys soon
and yes i promise my future blogs will not be so long couldnt help in this one as this was my journey tried my best to squeeze it as much as i could hehehe
