Answers
1. Did Pato lBabu expect such a news?
No, Patol Babu had not expected in the least to get such an offer at his old age. Though in his youth he was a passionate stage actor, he had lost that passion over the years as he became engrossed facing challenges of life. He had not expected at all that he would get an offer to work in a movie ever.
2. What news is being talked about? Why was the news beyond his wildest dreams Patol Babu?
The news being talked about here is the offer he received to work in a movie. Nishikanto Babu, one of Patol Babu’s neighbours approached him to ask him if he would like to work in a movie that is being produced by his brother-in-law who was in the film business.
The news was beyond his wildest dreams because he had not expected in the least to get such an offer at the age of 52. He had parted with acting and stage long ago. Besides, the hardships of life had engrossed him so much that he had forgotten about his association with stage and acting.
3. what was the offer given to Patol Babu?
The offer was to act in a movie that Nishikanto Babu’s brother-in-law’s company was making. They needed an actor who would be fiftyish, short, bald-headed, for a scene in a film they were then shooting. Nishikanto Babu felt Patol Babu fitted well for the scene.
