Who was Mr. Pakrashi and how did he instill the
value of being true to one’s work in Patol Babu?
Answers
Answer:
Mr. Gogon Pakrashi had been Patol Babu’s mentor
and a very good actor. He was a very devoted person
towards his profession. He instilled the value of being
true to one’s work in Patol Babu. When Patol Babu got
the opportunity to work in a film, he was elated. But,
when he got the dialogue, he was very disappointed
because it was a very small dialogue. Patol Babu had
acted in many plays in theatre. It was after 20 years
that he was getting a chance to act in films. Afterwards,
when the director told him that he was the only one
who was getting a chance to speak that day, he was
extremely thrilled. At that time, he remembered the
words of his mentor, Mr. Pakrashi. He had advised
him that each word spoken in a play is like a fruit in a
tree, so full justice must be done to each part. So, Patol
Babu not only got over his disappointment but also
practised speaking “Oh!” in many different ways.
Answer:
Gogon Pakrashi was the mentor of Patol Babu. He had advised Patol Babu that no role was big or small and however small a role may be, a good actor should give full attention to it as every word in a play is important. It is like a fruit in a tree and an actor must know how to pluck the fruit, get the essence and serve it to the satisfaction of his audience. There is no role which is beneath one’s dignity or too small to be turned down. One should make use of every opportunity and do full justice to the role. One must learn to work towards perfection. It is a healthy attitude which should be followed by everyone because it is only the work which is done with perfection that gives satisfaction.
