I was fortunate to be at the National Centre for the Performing Arts, the evening Mumbai met Magneto. When Aamir Khan interviewed a real actor — Sir Ian McKellen.

Truly no offence to the Indian star, but when both performers were hit with the same question by an audience member in the Q&A —“How do you approach playing drunk in a role?” Sir Ian said, “The real secret to playing drunk is to play it sober. Isn’t that what we do, try and act sober to cover our drunkeness?”
