The first senior we met on campus when we reached for the selection workshop at @ftiiofficial Calm, reassuring, solid voice and presence. He made us comfortable.. a group of 168 kids who all were nervous & raring to give their best vying for the 21 seats in the acting batch of 2008. @jaideepahlawat has continued being that calm, warm, loving senior who one can turn to. We always knew he was a fantastic actor. What one has observed over the years is that he not only got better at his craft quietly, unassumingly but also one of the very few people who took success with grace, humility and stayed the rock solid human that he always was. My friend said the other day after watching the new season of Paatal Lok that JA is one of the best actors of our country. Well, he is sublime. But what we sometimes forget as actors is that the actor is always grounded in the human they are and to see his journey being so wholesome and so secure.. it gives us immense joy & reassurance that you can quietly keep doing the good work without making a lot of noise. The work speaks for itself. Love you @jaideepahlawat Jaldi milte hai! Abaad raho! 🙌 With another senior & cutie @itsvijayvarma Bhai kuch zyada hi talent tha inke batch mein.

I landed in Amritsar this morning. Last time I was here two days ago my heart was restless to ‘matha theko’ at the Golden Temple. (Something I realised I’ve been blessed enough to do almost every year for the last 12 years) I had said I’d go on the 12th. Realised there was a big Jayanti. It also happened to be my Father’s 16th anniversary. In those 4 hours between landing this morning and shoot, the obvious priority of sleep was set aside. I ended up spending those 4 hours nourishing the soul. Although it was crowded, it was calm and so so uplifting. That’s the thing about Sikhism.. Seva at the core. To give. To serve. Unconditionally. One couldn’t help thinking that with so many people, it was so beautifully managed.. clean space and cleaner aura. I prayed for almost two hours, sitting calmly.. at a spot that was miraculously empty in the middle of all the bustle. Two women offered to take some photos too. The Khaada Prasad nourished the soul. Because of the traffic, I took to public transport.. both times two beautiful gentleman who had the most gorgeous energy only made my day richer. As I waited for some Kulchas to get packed for me & my team, they called me into the shop and started explaining their process. M sure they thought the ‘tourist’ needed to be educated. They and the kulchas were fab! I shot with some individuals in the evening who I’ve waited to work with. Absolutely delight of a cast & crew. There was bonfire, and there was the ever glowing full moon. Even after 16 years, my father, who I believe flew away as a bird, is still around with glimpses in of his warmth, lightness and glow of spirit. The Sun & The Moon both shone brightly. 12th Feb, ‘25 💫

(Something I realised I’ve been blessed enough to do almost every year for the last 12 years) I had said I’d go on the 12th. Realised there was a big Jayanti. It also happened to be my Father’s 16th anniversary. In those 4 hours between landing this morning and shoot, the obvious priority of sleep was set aside. I ended up spending those 4 hours nourishing the soul. Although it was crowded, it was calm and so so uplifting. That’s the thing about Sikhism.. Seva at the core. To give. To serve. Unconditionally. One couldn’t help thinking that with so many people, it was so beautifully managed.. clean space and cleaner aura. I prayed for almost two hours, sitting calmly.. at a spot that was miraculously empty in the middle of all the bustle. Two women offered to take some photos too. The Khaada Prasad nourished the soul. Because of the traffic, I took to public transport.. both times two beautiful gentleman who had the most gorgeous energy only made my day richer. As I waited for some Kulchas to get packed for me & my team, they called me into the shop and started explaining their process. M sure they thought the ‘tourist’ needed to be educated. They and the kulchas were fab! I shot with some individuals in the evening who I’ve waited to work with. Absolutely delight of a cast & crew. There was bonfire, and there was the ever glowing full moon. Even after 16 years, my father, who I believe flew away as a bird, is still around with glimpses in of his warmth, lightness and glow of spirit. The Sun & The Moon both shone brightly. 12th Feb, ‘25 💫
I landed in Amritsar this morning. Last time I was here two days ago my heart was restless to ‘matha theko’ at the Golden Temple.
