<div id="cke_pastebin">   u00a0&ldquo;Lots of exciting things are happening on the work front, I am looking forward to my film with Anushka Sharma. Personally too, I am on a high as I got married recently.</div>  <h2 class="footer_style">   <strong>Who: Neil Bhoopalam, actor<br />   What: Talking about his love for acting<br />   </strong></h2>  <div>   <p>    <img alt="Neil Bhoopalam" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/nov/Neil-Bhoopalam.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 549px;" /></p>   <p>    Life couldn&rsquo;t get better,&rdquo; says the actor as CS catches him in a no-holds-barred mood&hellip;</p>  </div>  <div>   <strong>First brush with acting</strong><br />   I must have been around 15 years when I saw my brother performing on stage, he was playing Hanuman. I enjoyed it thoroughly and without my knowing, the acting bug had bitten me. u00a0I learnt that a friend of mine was conducting acting workshops, so I dropped in to meet him. Before I knew it, I was doing theatre. It was a wonderful experience and I went on to do stage shows for a good 10 years. Theatre is very addictive as there is a live audience as compared to other mediums where you are acting for the camera.<br />   u00a0</div>  <div>   <strong>The learning curve</strong><br />   My films -- No one killed Jessica and Shaitan -- was a good platform to showcase my acting skills. But 24 has given me tremendous exposure. Television has the power to connect with your audience as it is right there in people&rsquo;s homes. Infact, I willsay that it has more impact than films.u00a0It&rsquo;s also been a good learning experience. Anil Kapoor is a veteran but he is all charged up on the sets and is forever putting in extra efforts. Shabana Azmi&rsquo;s sincerity towards her craft is admirable. Observing her is an experience in itself.<br />   u00a0</div>  <div>   <strong>Media shy</strong><br />   I understand that the profession I have chosen is prone to media attention. But I prefer my personal space as I am shy by nature. That&rsquo;s why I am not seen socialising much. Also, I am not on any social networking sites which is the norm for most actors these days.<br />   u00a0</div>  <div>   <strong>Quality conscious</strong><br />   Being a theatre actor, story is of paramount importance to me. I look forward to being part of a script which has something new and unpredictable to offer. I also like to see the director&rsquo;s previous work before I start working with him to trust his abilities implicitly.<br />   u00a0</div>  <div>   <strong>Marital bliss</strong><br />   I got married on the 16th of this month. We went on a short honeymoon to the hills in the North. Pre-marriage was stressful because I had to finish a lot of work in limited period. I was shooting in the nights and sleeping during the days. Now that I havesome time, I am catching up with family and friends.<br />   u00a0</div>  <div>   <strong>Travel diary</strong><br />   My favourite holiday destination is Cape Town because of its exotic scenic locations. I simply loved its sea food. Also, interesting are its museums and the historical significance and stories attached to it.</div>
