Kushal learns to shut up

Actor Kushal Punjabi loves to try his skills at different things. Recently he made a guest appearance in a silent comedy episode.

"I never realised that acting in a silent show and that too comedy would be difficult. When the script came to me, it was just one-and-a-half page long. I thought it's an easy task. But when we started the shoot, it took me longer to enact through expressions and body language without the aide of dialogues. But I love doing physical comedy and so I thoroughly enjoyed this experience," says Kushal. Kushal shares with CS all that he learnt from staying silent:

>>When you stay silent, you become a good listener. I feel you gain a lot of knowledge by keeping mum as you become more aware of the things happening around you.

>>Silence is a golden virtue. Earlier, it was just a saying to me, but now I completely agree with it. I've learnt that when you stay silent you hear the sounds of nature more clearly and feel close to it.

>>I think being silent makes you a good observer. You gain a lot by just visual observation. I realised that I started observing human behaviour more closely after zipping up my mouth.

>>I think there's a mystery to men who speak little. Women have aversions to loud mouths, while they get attracted to men who speak less and listen more.
