A very interesting discussion with Irrfan Khan, the Indian Actor \u2013 who is the hero of the movie \u201cLife of Pi\u201d, in conversation with Terry Gross in the NPR program \u201cFresh Air\u201d.\u00a0 Terry Gross says that she is a fan of his work and discusses his life.\u00a0 One of the funniest moment in the interview was his discussion on how he thought of getting into TV acting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Khan knew from an early age that he wanted to be an actor, but he wasn\u2019t entirely sure how to make it happen. At 14, a cousin told him that if he wanted to act in television, he should climb up to a transmission tower located at the top of a nearby mountain \u2014 that there would be an office there where Khan could get a job.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s exactly what he and his cousin did; though when they got to the top of the mountain and found nothing, they quickly forgot about getting work in television and roamed the terrain.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a great time on the mountain,\u201d he remembers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is a very interesting discussion and he holds himself well.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
