Arshad Warsi Says Monk and Child Kept Him in Comedy

Arshad Warsi Says Monk and Child Kept Him in Comedy

Arshad Warsi did not originally plan to become an actor.

He got his first movie role even though he had never acted before.

He learned by watching the experienced actor Pran work.

Over time, Arshad became famous for making people laugh.

At one point, he thought comedy was not serious enough and wanted to stop doing it.

While visiting Ladakh, a monk told him that making people laugh was a special gift.

Later, a girl who could not hear said she understood his acting by watching his expressions.

These moments convinced Arshad to continue performing comedy.
